Services

Workplace consulting services for Australian employers

AWS supports employers across seven connected service areas: advisory and compliance, workplace investigations, mediation and resolution, psychosocial safety, training, GRC technology and ISO management systems. The areas are designed to work together — an investigation may surface a policy or psychosocial issue, a restructure may need advisory, consultation and training support, and a management system holds the evidence. Employers engage AWS for a defined project when a single matter needs senior handling, and on a retainer when advice, escalation support and system upkeep are needed throughout the year.

Methodology

How AWS engagements are structured

01Scoping and governance

Each engagement is scoped against the organisation's risks, stakeholders, records, decision points and implementation requirements.

02Documented process

AWS works through structured steps, clear records and practical materials that can be reviewed, implemented and evidenced.

03Ongoing support

Clients may engage AWS for project-based work or retained workplace, WHS, compliance and management-systems support.

Retained Workplace Advisory Support

Retained support for workplace risk and compliance.

Australian Workplace Strategies supports employers through project-based engagements and ongoing monthly retainers. Retained support gives your organisation access to experienced workplace, WHS, employment compliance and management-systems expertise when issues arise and as your obligations evolve.

Retainers can be tailored to the organisation's size, workforce profile and risk environment, with particular experience supporting organisations employing approximately 25 to 500 staff across the public and private sectors.

What retained support typically includes

  • Ongoing workplace advisory support
  • HR, WHS and integrated management systems guidance
  • Policy, procedure and documentation support
  • Manager support for conduct, performance and workplace issues
  • Compliance reviews, action tracking and implementation support
  • Access to Strobe GRC workflows where appropriate

A retained arrangement helps employers manage issues earlier, keep policies and systems current, support managers through difficult workplace matters and maintain a consistent approach to compliance, documentation and risk — without the overhead of a full-time internal specialist team.
