Jason provides expert ER and bargaining services for GenPro and works alongside me in all aspects of the bargaining process.
From guiding me through the legal pitfalls of compliance with acts, through to assisting with ensuring that our implementation advice to our members is accurate and easy to understand, Jason ensures we operate safely and are always compliant. He makes complex matters easy to understand, ensures that we are clear in our responses and plays a crucial role as part of the GenPro bargaining team.
Every company runs into situations where the right way through needs more than an HR function can carry on its own.
That is when we call Jason. We brought him in on disciplinary and performance matters where we needed to be sure we were on solid ground. He gave clear, practical advice, quickly, and told us plainly when our thinking was wrong. Each situation was handled properly and we stayed on the right side of the process. Having that backup, with real knowledge and experience behind it, matters for a business our size.
After 20 years in business we unfortunately finally had a situation where we needed advice and guidance on our rights as an employer and how to perform a dismissal within the legal framework and while minimizing the financial impact.
Jason laid our options out clearly and gave us the support to help us make an informed and financially sound decision, along with the tools and resources to act on our agreed course of action. We were grateful to have someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Jason on our team to get us the outcome we desired.
Jason of ERS supported us through a challenging, complex restructuring situation that required careful, structured facilitation.
His approach helped us move from tension and uncertainty to a practical, mutually agreed resolution. The process protected our team culture, reduced risk, and allowed us to refocus on the business with confidence.
We recently engaged ERS to partner with us through a major organisational-wide restructure, a process that is uniquely challenging in a mission-driven environment, such as ours.
Jason’s exceptional understanding of employment relations and compliance provided an additional level of assurance, that our consultation process was legally compliant, transparent, and aligned with our organisational values.
Beyond Jason’s technical and legal acumen, he brought a steady, empathetic, and objective approach to what is inherently a highly stressful period for any organisation needing to undertake a significant restructure. Thanks to his clear, hands-one guidance and specialist expertise, we minimised disruption, worked through each stage of the process with confidence and mitigated risk. Jason is a highly experienced ER professional, a reassuring partner in difficult times, and a strategic asset to any leadership team facing organisational change.
ERS supported our organisation through two rounds of Collective Agreement negotiations, providing expert guidance, mediation, and facilitation throughout the process.
Jason’s collaborative and constructive approach, combined with strong technical expertise and capability, was invaluable in helping all parties navigate complex discussions. This combination of relationship-focused facilitation and deep employment relations knowledge contributed to positive outcomes for all parties involved and helped us achieve agreements that were both practical and sustainable.
