Case study

The Problem

This retail client was experiencing significant issues with employees not following directions, not advising of absences, taking large amounts of sick leave, not taking breaks when asked, and other cultural workplace issues. This was impacting operations and causing issues within the workplace.

Our Solution

We thoroughly reviewed our client’s existing documentation, identifying significant gaps that potentially led to employee issues and hindered effective staff management.Recognising the need for a comprehensive staff handbook, we created a resource that clarified workplace expectations and empowered our client to efficiently oversee performance and discipline when necessary.

The outcome? Remarkable results: reduced absenteeism, improved communication on essential absences, adherence to scheduled breaks, enhanced overall employee satisfaction, and a better retail experience for their customers!

“The service has always been prompt with expert and empathetic advice in accordance with current relevant legislations applicable to the various circumstances”

Our workforce throughout Qld, NSW, and the ACT encompasses many senior roles through to junior casual roles within various shopping centres. We have always received practical, pragmatic, and well-considered advice that has allowed us to manage the team effectively and professionally. The service has always been prompt with expert and empathetic advice in accordance with current relevant legislations applicable to the various circumstances at a very competitive fee. I highly recommend their services.
