Unlock the potential of your people and boost your business success
Imagine a future where you’re liberated from the day to day grind of HR administration and workplace compliance. A future where your leaders and managers are no longer bogged down trying to navigate complex and ever-changing workplace regulations. Where your people have more time to focus on their strengths, delivering high-value results while loving what they do. In this future, your workplace risk, compliance and HR operations are handled by specialist local employment law firms and innovative technology. All at a fraction of the cost of in-house legal and technology teams.
Traditional workplace relations is OUT …
Years of experience taught us that there had to be a better way for businesses to manage their HR needs; and we’re doing something about it. Traditional ways of running Human Resources departments, and keeping up with evolving, complex, workplace law, take up time and energy that can be better spent on driving strategy and culture, and improving engagement, productivity and safety. If something was missed or went wrong, you had to call in expensive teams of lawyers. If it was a serious matter, it wasn’t long before legal costs spiraled out of control. We saw perfectly healthy businesses take massive hits to their bottom line. For any business, dealing with workplace issues was a major distraction from achieving their business goals.
… a new way to manage workplace relations is IN
We saw a need for a new way to give businesses risk management and compliance support, without taking time and people away from core business strategy. We designed HR Assured to provide our clients with support and security in four critical areas: Knowledge, Expertise, Accessibility and Assurance.
Think of it like the HR version of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. With these four things, your business satisfies its safety and security needs when it comes to managing workplace compliance. You can boost your HR to focus more energy on culture, development and reaching your full potential as a business. Your competitors will still be spending time and money on people issues, while you spend your resources on productivity and your competitive edge. You’ll be confident, knowing that you have a team of expert consultants on hand to provide quality, experienced advice and representation for your workplace-relations needs. To strengthen this security, we incorporate the compliance-driven framework of HRA Cloud, an HR and H&S management technology.
Why the focus on workplace relations?
New Zealand employment, labour and health & safety at work laws change regularly. These changes make it difficult to keep up with workplace legislation – especially if your business is undergoing a digital and culture transformation. For many businesses, the HR department functions that cover workplace relations are complex to manage in-house, and expensive to manage in the traditional sense of working with a legal firm. By providing NZ business with access to high-quality, affordable workplace risk and compliance expertise, we’re helping them succeed by giving them the freedom to focus on doing what they do best.
Why is technology a central part of our offering?
Workplaces are changing dramatically, influenced by exponential advances in technology. Digital transformation means the traditional style of office-based working is becoming more dynamic. Yet many businesses are being left behind, unsure or overwhelmed by the shift from manual to technology-driven operations. That’s why we run our services using our secure, innovative cloud-based technology: HRA cloud. The user-friendly, mobile-compatible interface means that anyone can easily find their way around and get the information they need. Being cloud-based allows greater accessibility than ever before. Your data is always safe, and your leaders and people are empowered by having compliance frameworks and relevant information at their fingertips.
The HR Assured service
We support businesses in four key areas, taking care of the time-consuming parts of HR so you can focus on the things that matter, like culture, strategy, innovation and growth:
1. Audit
We conduct a detailed compliance review of your business to identify risks and uncover threats resulting from incomplete, incorrect or missing processes that would expose you to penalties for failing to comply with the Employment Relations Act 2000 and Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. Then we help you fix them.
2. Cloud-based HR technology
We set you up with HRA Cloud, an HR and H&S management solution supported by NZ workplace law specialists, LangtonHudsonButcher. This cloud-based platform lets you manage all your employee information, from hiring to termination. HRA Cloud contains hundreds of handy checklists, workflows and document templates – continually updated to comply with the latest NZ legislation. HRA Cloud drives workplace productivity and delivers compliance at your fingertips!
3. Telephone Advisory Service (TAS)
Our Telephone Advisory Service (TAS) is staffed by a team of highly qualified, highly experienced HR and industrial relations consultants, available 24/7, every day of the year. We don’t limit the number or duration of calls: call as often as you want, and we’ll stay on the phone for as long as it takes to answer your questions and help you fix your workplace issues.
4. Insurance and Representation
If something goes wrong in your workplace and you’re faced with a claim from an employee, HR Assured has you covered with both comprehensive workplace insurance and legal representation.
