Workforce Guardian includes a comprehensive suite of HR Processes

• Hiring Process

  Hiring is an important part of managing and growing a successful business. By following a sound hiring process you can greatly improve your chances of getting your hiring decisions right.  With Workforce Guardian's Hiring Process you can follow a clear and consistent approach.  The process includes needs assessment, creating job specifications and compliant job advertisements, holding interviews and reference checking.

• Creating Compliant Employment Agreements

  Workforce Guardian Professional provides four basic types of employment agreement for employees that you can create, ready to sign in minutes, all of which are compliant with Australia's Fair Work Act 2009.

• Induction Process

  Having completed the hiring stage, it's vital that you take new employees or contractors through an induction process to help them settle into your company.  Use our highly effective Induction Process to help your new employee or contractor fit into your organisation.

• Performance Management

  Performance Management is a process by which individual and team performance is planned, monitored and reviewed. A standard means of reviewing performance ensures fair treatment and appropriate rewarding of all employees. Follow Workforce Guardian's Performance Management system to structure the way you manage individual and team performance.

• Improving Employee Performance

  When an employee is not meeting performance standards you need to remedy the situation as soon as possible.  First, you need to ensure the issue is a genuine performance problem and one related to the employee not being able to do the job properly.  Follow our Improving Employee Performance Process  to track, monitor and improve employee performance.

• Maintaining Employee Performance

  Once you've corrected a performance issue, the next step is to maintain the improvement. Use our Maintaining Employee Performance Process  to deliver positive reinforcement and praise to your whole team regardless of performance problem history.

• Dealing with Unsatisfactory Performance/Behaviour

  When performance or behaviour is not meeting expectations, it's time to take action. Accurately determine the nature of the issue and follow these steps to effectively deal with unsatisfactory performance and unacceptable behaviour.

• Disciplinary Action

  When a significant misconduct incident occurs, or a previous attempt to correct unsatisfactory performance has been unsuccessful, you need to take action. Follow our Disciplinary Action Process to  effectively and lawfully correct unsatisfactory performance or unacceptable behaviour.

• Harassment Complaints Procedure

  All businesses need to be committed to promoting a good and harmonious working environment in which no worker feels under threat or intimidated.   If an employee has a concern, query or complaint about harassment, manage the allegations consistently with Workforce Guardian's Harassment Complaints Procedure.

• Termination and Dismissal

  When repeated misconduct or persistent poor performance is occurring despite previous disciplinary action, it's time to consider termination of employment on notice.  Follow Workforce Guardian's Termination and Dismissal Process to lawfully terminate employment.

• Restructuring and Redundancy

  Restructuring is undertaken in order to meet a variety of requirements including taking steps to alter the organisation and scale of the business structure to meet future requirements. Use Workforce Guardian's Restructuring and Redundancy Process which includes a Redundancy Selection Criteria, Confirmation of New Role Letter and Certificate of Service template.

• Transfer of Business

  Under the provisions of the Fair Work Act 2009 a transfer of business occurs when a business, or part of it, is sold and one or more of the employees of that business transfer to the new business. Use Workforce Guardian's Transfer of Business guide to ensure you account for the provisions of the Act when the business is transferred from one entity to another.
