Our team of expert consultants bring a wealth of experience to all aspects of Human Resources and Industrial Relations. We partner with our clients to deliver pragmatic and practical solutions across the full spectrum of HR and IR challenges that may arise.

We provide services across the entire employment lifecycle from specialist recruitment through to concluding employment relationships and outplacement. Our services include:

Compliance services

Employment law becomes more complex all the time. Our IR experts’ partner with our clients to ensure clients comply with all statutory and award obligations, including representing clients with the Fair Work Ombudsman or in the Fair Work Commission (or other employment tribunals) if required.   

HR foundations

Forvis Mazars as an employer understands the importance of making sure that the foundations of a HR function are sound. Without a sound framework employee management becomes more challenging. With this in mind, our consultants many of whom have run their own businesses, work with clients to ensure they have the fundamentals in place, such as policies and procedures, employment contracts, contractor agreements, job descriptions, performance plans, goal setting and review processes.

Protecting your most valuable asset

Our employees are our most valuable asset in driving business success. It is therefore necessary to ensure that we keep employees engaged and supported in their journey as an employee. Our services include leadership development, team building, market linked remuneration reviews, recognition programs, executive coaching, Employee Assistance Programs, cultural reviews and employee engagement.

People management

We understand that things don’t always go as planned and there are times when employers need some expert assistance.  Our services include performance management, mediation, workplace investigations, discipline, dismissal, redundancy. Our services are not only advisory, we can also provide advocacy before industrial tribunals when necessary. For example, workplace disputes, Stop Bullying claims, unfair dismissal claims, workers compensation claims, discrimination claims, underpayment of wages actions.

Career and recruitment solutions

Attracting and retaining the right employees is essential. We provide job search support, shortlisting services, recruitment strategy and executive search solutions. We also provide support services in outplacement and career transition programs as well as Employee Assistance Programs to ensure smooth exit transition that mitigates reputational risk.

Outsourced HR

A HR team with all of the necessary skills and experience can be expensive. We offer an outsourced solution which gives clients access to the full range of skills and experience available at Forvis Mazars, at a fraction of the price of engaging your own HR team.  Clients who outsource their HR to Forvis Mazars have their own appointed HR Manager who works with them on day to day matters as well as access to our specialists if they are required. Our clients don’t ever need to go outside of Forvis Mazars for their HR needs.
