Labour relations services
"I am convinced that nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day, you bet on people not on strategies”
– Lawrance Bossidy
The idea behind the labour relations services is to relieve the business owner of the stress of being the coach and referee in the business. Labour Relations is the hub for people management. An experienced advisor will be appointed for your business to recruit qualified and vetted employees and handle disciplinary processes and terminations when needed. The advisor is also responsible for conducting an overall analysis that looks at the company’s compliance status as well as implementing talent optimisation strategies.
Our comprehensive Labour Relations department provides the following solutions, JobCONNECT, POPI Act Compliance, Performance Management and Retrenchments, DRC Representation and Collective bargaining, and Strike Management.
