Leading Edge Group Ltd.

Keeping on top of changes to employment law and understanding the impact to their own business used to be a right headache for Leading Edge Group Limited – a buying and marketing group that has over 1400 retail shopfronts throughout Australia and employs around 140 people in its head office in Gordon.

That was until they started using Workforce Guardian and Roniece Dawson-Bruce the company’s Human Resource Manager can’t believe what a difference the employment relations resource has made to her day-to-day work. Not only has the online resource increased her productivity it has dramatically reduced the stress of her job.

“With Workforce Guardian I have complete confidence that everything I need regarding employment law is right at my fingertips”, says Dawson-Bruce.

“I have the peace of mind that our employment contracts are fully compliant and that we have put best practise procedures and policies in place regarding how we employ and manage our staff. Up to now it has been difficult to find such useful, valid and legal information in the one place.”

Housed within the resource is a wealth of documents, processes and articles about all aspects of employing and managing staff and Dawson-Bruce has found these to be highly useful and insightful.

When it comes to producing a compliant contract, she is a major fan of Workforce Guardian’s tool which uses a simple question and answer format to produce a fully compliant contract including a code of conduct for working at Leading Edge Group within minutes.

‘Workforce Guardian is a streamlined, easy to use resource that delivers compliant results quickly and efficiently. It has made my working life much easier and far less stressful”, says Dawson-Bruce.

CEO of Leading Edge Group Keith Lane is a firm advocate of the resource, believing it to be an essential tool for Australian SMEs.

“In the changing employment regulatory climate it is essential employers reduce their business risk, particularly with regards compliance and Workforce Guardian is essential. It is inexpensive yet delivers powerful results while providing us with the confidence that we are employing and managing our people in line with best practice”, Keith Lane, CEO.
