Our Auditor is Bernard Spanner, CA SA.
Our core business is consulting with corporate South Africa on all matters related to people at work (and we have a great network of colleagues who lend a hand should we not have the expertise). All our work is conducted in plain English at a price that is rarely beaten.
We also assist individuals who are troubled at work or have been unfairly dealt with who want value-for-money advice which is frank and direct with excellent results.

basket tab 1We believe that human resources is the linchpin of every corporate entity and should be strategically maximised to attain above average ROI whilst minimising financial and other risks. HR people seek to ensure survival and success by aligning the supply of resources, be they unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled and/or qualified, with the capacity of existing teams as well as the organisation’s ongoing and future business plans. To achieve this difficult goal, the human resource team must implement the organisation’s human capital requirements effectively, taking into account local conditions and legislation as well as ethical business practices, costs and other implications such as employee motivation, commitment and productivity. Our main objective is to ensure that our clients’ businesses are efficient, productive and great places to work. For individuals in trouble, we offer a cost-effective conflict resolution service from briefing you about your rights at work, providing you with honest down-to-earth advice on the merits of your grievance or dispute to hands-on advice if you intend to escalate the matter.


basket tab 2Labour relations is a multidisciplinary field that comprises the whole spectrum of employer/employee relationships and in South Africa, there are prescribed processes that are involved when dealing with, for instance, termination of employment or restructuring of businesses which may impact on employment issues. It is an extremely important aspect of Human Resource Management and cannot be under estimated. It is all about the way in which people at work are managed to productivity, whilst recognising the balance between work and life outside of work and the distinctly importance of upholding ethics, dignity and respect on both sides of the spectrum.

We are guided by legislative constraints, updated information and case law as well as taking advice from network associates in related fields which augments our knowledge gained over years of working in the field.
