Policies and document templates

In our opinion, no business or organisation should operate without a set of Policies and Procedures. The guidelines to how your business or organisation conducts its affairs need to be clarified and written down, to ensure that the activities of employees meet both organisational and legislative requirements.

Workwise Advisory Services has available Policies, Procedures and associated Forms that are designed to be utilised immediately and include Occupational Health & Safety and Industrial Relations topics.

Employment contracts/ Individual Flexibility Agreements/ Letters of Appointment

Employment Contracts typically fill the role of documenting terms and conditions of employment that are in addition to the implied legislated terms and conditions. An employment contract can assist to define implied terms, help interpret obligations, and bridge the gap between legislation and your specific operational requirements for that job to be done.

Industrial Relations Risk Management

You manage risk in the areas of safety, health, environment, finances, the products & services you sell; but do you manage your Industrial Relations risk? Does your current documentation (or lack of it), or your existing processes leave you open to liability and fines for breaches of legislation? Are you planning on purchasing an existing business or starting a new one, if so then it’s time to undertake your due diligence and look at IR risk.

OSH Risk Management

Constant changes to Occupational Health and Safety legislation reinforce the need for management to adopt a pro active approach toward safety risk management within the workplace.

In answer to these increasing requirements Workwise has developed a Risk Management Package which offers clients a user friendly, cost effective and flexible management tool, which profiles current levels of compliance and recommends improvement measures.
