Employing and managing staff is becoming increasingly complex and organisations large and small must be HR compliant.

At the ground level, gain an understanding of the essentials of HR compliance or alternatively learn how to manage employees in difficult situations, ensuring you are covered with regards to Fair Work obligations and when to mediate or investigate on workplace grievances/complaints.

The 'Workforce Management in Crisis'…

The ‘Workforce Management in Crisis’ webinar series was an added bonus to access. In a time of rapid change due to COVID-19 and information coming in thick and fast from multiple areas, it was valuable to have these sessions available. Thank you Harvest HR for this series and the great work you have done in establishing a comprehensive Professional Development program for HR professionals in the Geelong region!

Thank you Harvest!

Diversitat was lucky enough to participate in two Self Care sessions delivered by Harvest Recruitment as part of their Workforce Management response to the COVID 19 pandemic. Arrangements were made quickly and without any hassles, both sessions were informative and helpful and the facilitator was excellent. Congratulations Harvest on an excellent program.

HR Roundtable Feedback

I thought the panellists were great. The information provided was useful and I enjoyed listening to the conversation. The discussion regarding the particular topic did not commence until 10am (after networking and introductions). Obviously we are all short for time these days so perhaps would prefer to see the discussion commence closer to the time of 9.30am. Thank you for initiating these conversations in Geelong.

Building and cultivating resilience is…

Building and cultivating resilience is such an important aspect of both our personal and professional lives. Melanie’s experience and knowledge was very evident in this thought provoking workshop.
