“Workplace Investigations have been delivering solutions to the Q Super group for over 5 years. As our principal adviser WI has consistently demonstrated their in depth knowledge of both the public and private sectors and the importance of tailoring and designing solutions specific to the particular position that a company is at in its ongoing cultural and change journey. This is absolutely critical in the investigations landscape where strong legislative requirements must be balanced with internal policy considerations and commercial pragmatism. WI achieves this with ease, energy and absolute effectiveness. I would strongly recommend WI and their suite of courses to any HR practitioner wishing to develop or expand their knowledge in the Investigations area”.
“Their expertise in workplace investigations is second to none. Their wealth of experience comes through both in content and delivery. I found the WI training course to have a good balance of theory and practice, covering all relevant legislation and some really sensible processes. Their Principal has an engaging and entertaining style which makes learning from her a joy. I’d recommend this course to anyone who needs to manage or conduct workplace investigations.”
“Christina exercises her exceptional skills in Workplace Investigations to deliver timely outcomes which have the highest integrity, strong organisational awareness and rigorous process. Her ability to engage all stakeholders in the most delicate of situations has meant I have engaged her regularly over the last 10 years, including excellent workshops to upskill our own HR and audit teams. An extremely practical and dynamic learning experience. Results have proven the value of this course”
