From its beginnings, WorkAccord has always sought to do things a bit differently. As an Australian HR and workforce governance consultancy, we're stepping away from traditional consultancy models to forge a new path—one that emphasises collaboration, shared learning, and mutual growth. And to do it, we’ve established and integrated trcLearning into our service delivery model as an on-line learning community for staffing and recruitment changemakers. So, what exactly does that mean, and why should it matter?
With an extensive background in education, employment relations, dispute resolution and compliance, WorkAccord has shaped its unique approach to HR and workforce governance consultancy, introducing what we term 'post-law' perspectives. Instead of defaulting to legalistic rules and processes, we strive to build accord through measures that resonate with commercial and social norms, professional standards, and your firm’s unique realities. Our strategy is issue resolution-focused rather than remedy-focused, fostering a collaborative and integrative environment for conflict resolution.
The typical "Oracle" or “Advice Dispensary” approach - with its client-consultant dynamics - often creates a space where clients might feel like passive receivers of information. trclearning flips this around, adopting an approach where our client's questions are seen as learning opportunities. It’s not so much a matter of providing advice, as of guide our clients on their own learning path. The aim is to help you gain a solid understanding of the topic you’re enquiring about, not just giving you a pre-packaged solution.
We take great pride in our unique role. While we’re well-versed in legal matters, our focus isn’t on providing legal advice but on equipping you with high-quality, useful information. We strive to enhance your understanding of business, employment, and workforce governance topics, empowering you to better comprehend the advice from your own legal counsel. And we are happy to liaise with your lawyers when all parties are willing.
At WorkAccord, we’re selective about the partnerships we form, focusing on clients who are genuinely interested in knowledge acquisition and professional development. This selective approach ensures that we can give our all to each client and align with our value of empowering our clients through education and collaboration.
At WorkAccord, we believe in the power of shared learning, collaborative problem-solving, and co-creation of knowledge. We invite you to join us in this exciting journey of growth, learning, and partnership. Let's step beyond traditional consultancy and together, shape the future of the recruitment industry.
