Q. What's the benefit of outsourcing our HR versus having someone inhouse?

Our combined skills, experience and networks ensure that your projects and HR requirements are supported by specialists that have a specific and credible track record in delivering results that are focused on your needs. We believe that dedicating your resources in a ‘generalist' can be a good solution, however for many businesses that don't have the time or the resources to manage HR functions, outsourcing is a cost-effective alternative to hiring an in-house generalist.

Q. I know my employee did the wrong thing, why should I pay for a report when I can just sack them, afterall I have the evidence?

As valid as the point above is, our experience in dealing with clients, the Fair Work Ombudsman and other professional bodies is that ex-employees can make as many vexatious complaints as they like. This can mean that you are burdened with the stress of a claim, the extra financial burden of paying for a solicitor, time away from your core business, liaising with outside persons and the harm that potential slanderous allegations can have on your business.

With unfair dismissal laws toughened, this could very well increase.

HR Navigation can help ease your burden. We can assess the evidence, speak to the involved persons and take documented statements from any necessary parties. We will then compile the evidence in a report written by a professional with high level investigative experience and with strong experience in dealing with solicitors and courts.

This report can be given to the employee to justify your decision which, in turn, could convince them not to contest the report. If any further complaints are made or unfair dismissal claimed, the report can simply be tendered as your justification and then HR Navigation can deal with the situation for you, allowing you to concentrate on moving forward.

Q. Isn't HR just a warm and fuzzy, does it really contribute to my bottom line?

Everything we do is focused on directly contributing to bottom line results. The evidence shows that companies with a documented HR strategy showed revenues on average 35% higher than those without strong business cases. Companies with effective People Management Practises are rated more highly by employees in a number of areas including change management; trust in senior leadership; communication; and the connection between their jobs and business goals. They also experience greater customer satisfaction, profitability, innovation/product development. Effective HR practices make an enormous difference to organisational performance.

Q. Why should I choose the HR Navigation?
