Recent Perspectives
IR Advisory & EA Bargaining
“We heard about WFA through a number of referrals, so knew they had a great IR reputation; but were pleasantly surprised about how much our own team has developed our capability through the bargaining experience. I’d go so far as to say that we are well-placed to run on our own next time around and a lot of that has to do with Chris and Michelle’s knowledge sharing and genuine care and support”
Workforce Engagement & Organisation Change
“I have worked with Chris for the last four years. In this time he has continuously provided pragmatic, practical, solution oriented advice that has progressed the issues and supported our organisation to deliver on its strategy. Chris has assisted with employee change and providing direct advice on specific issues. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris for any similar engagements.”
Leadership Coaching & Performance
“The Leadership series proved to be a rare opportunity for us as a Partnership to step back and reflect on the practical side of role modelling our values and nurturing our desired culture. It was also great reinforcement around the psychological impact and reciprocal benefits to both the individual and firm from getting the practice fundamentals like building rapport, empowering others, and managing to team norms in place"
Workforce Integration & Alignment
“From a People & Culture perspective, the ramp up of the Agency over the past several years has presented many challenges not least of which was the progressive on-boarding and integration of former State & Territory Employees onto a single, unified employment framework. Pleasingly, it is one where full integration will be achieved come July 2022; something made possible through the proactive guidance provided by WFA and their expertise in scoping and navigating the various industrial, organisational, and cultural considerations”
Organisation Design
“You would expect that aligning stakeholders around the features of a future state model to support volunteering would have its challenges, so it was great to have Chris on-board to co-ordinate the analysis and design effort, facilitate the Core Design Team and Reference Groups, and ensure the principles that were important to us at St John were reflected in broad-based consensus and ultimately the final Blueprint”
