About Us

When thinking about industrial relations consulting it's no secret or surprise that small to medium businesses have continued to miss out on readily available cost effective industrial relations support and guidance.

Most industrial relations consultants and law firms focus on big business. Negotiations with unions; corporate restructures; thorny classification structures; intricate payroll systems and regular commission or court appearances has provided a dynamic and challenging role for advocates, consultants and the like. Even in academic circles, the industrial relations needs of small and medium business are rarely considered.
