It's like having a specialist in house to manage our ER obligations but without the usual overheads.

Roniece Dawson-Bruce, Human Resources Manager, Leading Edge Group Limited

For Leading Edge Group it's all about leveraging the strength and buying power of many to champion the independent. With its membership base of some 1500 shopfronts across Australia, New Zealand and the UK, the company uses the group's combined buying power to dramatically improve the competitiveness and bottom line profitability for each individual member.  Leading Edge Group creates for the independent the sort of business advantages that larger companies enjoy.

More muscle

With nearly 25 years experience successfully assisting independent businesses compete more effectively and grow their margins, Leading Edge Group's own business has flourished and now employs a staff of 150 at its headquarters in Gordon NSW.

With their own business growth, employment relations compliance obligations for the company had escalated.   For Leading Edge, keeping up to date with employment law and compliance obligations was a real headache even with an internal human resource team on staff.

"Initially, it was an enormous challenge for us to ensure all our staff had compliant work contracts and that they were updated on a regular basis.

"The big problem for us was maintaining ER compliance without substantially increasing our overheads or pulling me away from core business goals."

Bringing Workforce Guardian on board successfully solved this problem for the company.

New ER resource without the overheads

"With Workforce Guardian I have complete confidence that everything I need regarding employment law compliance is right at my fingertips.

"I have the peace of mind that our employment contracts are fully compliant and that we have put best practice procedures and policies in place regarding how we employ and manage our staff.  I can't believe what a difference this employment relations resource has made to my day-to-day work."

User friendly and easy to use

"It's so easy to use the online templates to generate compliant employment contracts. They are user friendly and quick to generate and also they provide lots of excellent information to give you peace of mind across all areas of HR.

"I can't speak highly enough of the Workforce Guardian team, they are always available to provide great online assistance with any of my queries and have helped me on numerous occasions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Workforce Guardian as a reputable and committed company to deal with."
