"I thought I needed an employment lawyer to help me with my staff issue, but after speaking with Bec at The Proven Group, she told me exactly what I needed to do, so for only $99 my issue was sorted quickly and professionally, allowing me to get back to what I do best. Highly recommend The Proven Group, the Phone a Friend service is excellent."

Ongoing HR Support - an External HR Manager as part of your Team

Many of our clients choose to partner with us on an ongoing basis through our Outsourced HR Manager service or People Success Plan.

Instead of employing an internal HR Manager, you'll have access to experienced senior HR professionals who get to know you, your business and your team and provide practical advice designed to help you achieve your business goals throughout the year.

We'll work alongside your leadership team, providing proactive support as your business grows.

Best of all, this can be done with a 12-month contract, or a 3-month contract – you choose.

People Success Plans

Our People Success Plans are designed for businesses wanting more than reactive HR advice.

Together, we'll develop a tailored HR roadmap aligned with your Strategic Plan, helping you strengthen leadership, improve workplace culture, manage compliance, develop your people and achieve your business goals.

It's a proactive approach to Human Resources that supports long-term business success.

Fair Work Representation

Navigating a Fair Work matter can be stressful, time-consuming and costly without the right support. Whether you're responding to an unfair dismissal application, general protections claim, bullying matter, underpayment allegation or Fair Work Ombudsman enquiry, The Proven Group provides practical advice and professional representation throughout the process.

We are experienced HR consultants, not lawyers. Our experienced HR consultants work closely with employers to prepare documentation, develop response strategies, represent businesses during Fair Work Commission conciliation conferences and hearings, and help resolve workplace disputes as efficiently as possible. Our focus is always on protecting your business, reducing risk and achieving practical outcomes that allow you to move forward with confidence.

We are experienced investigators and mediators. If you have a sticky industrial relations situation – we can help.

Why Choose The Proven Group

Every business is different.

That's why we don't believe in one-size-fits-all HR solutions.

Whether you need one-off advice, support with a specific project or an outsourced HR partner who becomes part of your leadership team, we'll tailor our services to meet your needs.

Our advice is practical, commercially focused and designed to help you build a compliant, productive and high-performing workplace.
