Wise, practical and strategic HR advice in times of change and conflict

Worklogic is often brought into the workplace to explore concerns and risks, and to address workplace-wide problems.  The combination of workplace experience, creative thinking, legal and risk training, and practical focus gives us a unique perspective. Worklogic’s consultants are highly skilled researchers, problem-solvers and on-the-ground aides to senior executives and in-house counsel. We take a sophisticated and practical approach to strategic and operational projects in corporate ethics and workplace behaviour.

Worklogic has recently been entrusted with the following projects:

• Worklogic assisted a large employer to address major dysfunction in a team (including gossiping, disrespect of the line manager and undermining change initiatives). We developed coaching for the line manager, training for the team around values and behavioural expectations at work, and a follow-up process to ensure that the new standards were consistently applied and reinforced.
• A division of a major tertiary institution had suffered repeated turnover in a particular role, problems with staff morale and apparent confusion over strategy and deliverables. After interviewing staff at all levels, we recommended a minor restructure, review of reporting lines, coaching (and likely exit) of one executive and a clarification of purpose and accountability for all. The client reported a significant improvement after 2 months, and the division is stable and performing two years later.
• Developing and running a Culture Change Program – Focusing on flexible work practices and employee retention, Worklogic worked with a major international manufacturer to improve the cohesion and equity in the workplace, with flow-on benefits in productivity, team effectiveness and morale.
• Focus Group Facilitation – A workgroup was developing a malicious and divisive culture. Left unchecked, the business expected the workgroup to implode with bullying complaints and resignations. In a series of workshops developed around the company’s Code of Conduct, Worklogic worked with the employees to explore the reasons for disharmony and define new ground rules for working together.
• Complaints-Handling Review – In response to a formal direction from a government regulator, Worklogic was engaged to undertake a qualitative and quantitative review of an organisation’s complaint files over the past 5 years, and to formulate recommendations for process improvement.
