Case study

The Problem

This IT client was losing skilled employees, and their turnover was costing the business and impacting clients.

Our Solution

We closely analysed our client’s employee lifecycle and pinpointed a critical attrition point at around the two-year mark. Employees were actively seeking alternative job opportunities, leading to high turnover. We devised a range of effective solutions to combat this issue, such as conducting comprehensive employee satisfaction surveys.

Our tailored strategies encompassed enhancing annual leave entitlements based on tenure, expanding professional development prospects to keep employees engaged, and offering flexible work-from-home options to bolster work-life balance. By successfully implementing these initiatives and engaging with individual employee needs, we facilitated workplace stability and ensured our client’s continued success.

“Whether it was drafting Flexible Work Agreements, navigating contracts/BPIC conditions, employee relations or HR strategy, EWS offered valuable insights and thorough guidance every step of the way”

We recently engaged Effective Workplace Solutions to assist with some complex project HR/IR compliance issues and we couldn’t be more impressed with their service and support. From the first point of contact, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping us navigate these unique challenges within our business/industry. Their team took the time to understand our Company’s specific needs and provided tailored solutions that addressed our concerns effectively and efficiently. Whether it was drafting Flexible Work Agreements, navigating contracts/BPIC conditions, employee relations or HR strategy, EWS offered valuable insights and thorough guidance every step of the way. What stands out the most is their dedication to going above and beyond in time-limited situations. Karen, Greg and the EWS team are always available to answer questions and offer support and they always follow up (in writing!) to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the outcomes.We have been in business for 22 years and wish we had found EWS many moons ago! We can highly recommend their services (and their whole team!) to any organisation looking to elevate their HR practices.
