Situation and client profile

Why is this important?

The client has a large and diverse workforce. Importantly, many employees fall into the ‘vulnerable’ category as assessed by the Fair Work Ombudsman. The client considered protecting and paying their employees to be central to their organisational values.

Why did the client commence the review?

The client observed a series of recurring issues and associated complaints over a period of time. These issues were reported to the Board, and a program of work was agreed and initiated.
