Chairpersons for workplace hearings

We provide independent and professional chairperson services for parties engaged in workplace grievance, disciplinary and performance hearings.

Our panel of chairpersons is comprised of seasoned and senior part-time commissioners of the CCMA who are well known and respected in the ER industry.

Our chairpersons build trust in the enquiry process and its outcomes, which helps reduce referral rates to the CCMA.

Given their unique knowledge and hands-on insight into the application of the LRA, our chairpersons are ideally equipped to preside over workplace hearings.

We chair with integrity

Investigators and initiators for serious allegations

Our specialist investigators manage complex or sensitive investigations into misconduct allegations and assist the parties in understanding the potential merits of a matter and how best to proceed in the circumstances.

We manage the investigation process and will initiate and provide a detailed report with findings and recommendations.

At the client’s request, we will initiate disciplinary hearings on behalf of the employer.

We investigate and initiate with professionalism

Mediators and facilitators for consensual outcomes (S189A)
