Workplace relationsIn today's highly competitive business environment the successful management of workplace relations has a significant impact on an organisation's reputation and performance. In addition, it is vital that an organisation ensures that its human resources policies and procedures reflect recent changes to Australia's workplace relations laws in order to avoid potential pitfalls and adverse publicity. The effective management of employment, industrial relations, occupational health and safety, and discrimination law are key issues for all organisations at every stage of the employment relationship. Allens Arthur Robinson's workplace relations team works closely with its clients to ensure that their human resources policies and procedures balance `best practice' with their business objectives. We provide a full range of services including advice on:
Understanding our clients and their needsWe understand that a legal solution is not always the best solution - it all depends on the organisation's business objectives. Accordingly, we place great importance on getting to know our clients and their specific business needs in order to formulate the best course of action in the circumstances. We offer our clients workplace visits to advise on potential health and safety risks (including personal liability for directors and corporate officers). We can also review existing documentation and assist you in drafting policies and procedures. As trained and accredited mediators, we can also negotiate logs of claims and pursue all avenues of arbitration in dealing with strikes, bans and picket lines. However, where litigation is unavoidable, our experienced lawyers act promptly to defend clients' interests in court. Experience you can count onA number of our team members have first-hand industry experience within trade unions and employer organisations. As a result, we are able to view a problem from a number of different perspectives and identify creative and practical solutions. We are recognised for providing creative solutions to seemingly complicated problems. For example, the Employment Advocate published our Australian Workplace Agreements (AWA) as an illustration of a flexible and innovative AWA. As a leading Australian firm, our specialist team has immediate access to
experts in other areas of the firm. Access to our colleagues ensures that we
provide our clients with integrated advice on related areas such as
superannuation, taxation and intellectual property.
