At Garside Consulting, we love it when organisations run efficiently. An organisation can have cutting edge, state-of-the-art technology but if it doesn't get the people things right it will never reach best practice. This is true whether you are in the manufacturing, retail or financial industries, the community sector or any level of government. It frustrates us that across all workplaces, operators, managers and sadly sometimes even HR staff use the words, harassment, discrimination and bullying, but have no idea what these words actually mean in a true legal sense. Consequently there are times when these words are used as weapons to try and stop managers doing their job as people managers. An understanding of what harassment, discrimination and bullying isn't, is just as important as understanding what it is. We are full service providers in the area of dealing with difficult staffing situations, specifically harassment, discrimination, bullying, discipline and performance. We provide training courses to all staff which are engaging and entertaining as well as informative. We are licensed private investigators, we do mediation and conciliation, counselling and mentoring, as well as policy work. In our investigations we are truly independent and tell clients what they need to know, not what they want to know. We are a one-stop shop for all difficult staffing situations. We provide a free confidential helpline for clients. We have worked with many of Australia's biggest companies, including law firms, as clients.
