FiveSeven Consulting

Our Experience in Local Government

Our Consultants are highly experienced in Local Government systems and processes, to ensure that you have access to advice, tailored to support and streamline your business and strategic objectives.

 

Providing advice and expertise to Local Government comes with its challenges. Whilst most other industries are governed by the Fair Work Act, we know this is not the case for Local Government. This creates a number of idiosyncrasies that exist and complicate this industry. At FiveSeven our Team of Consultants have extensive experience within Local Government. We have provided advice, guidance, and support as external Consultants and have played pivotal internal roles in key Local Government positions.

We understand the challenges associated with Local Government from experience. We have expertise in the development of structured, best practice processes that align with the Local Government (State) Award.

How We Do This

  • Align practices and advice with the provisions of the Local Government (State) Award

  • Extensive knowledge and experience in Performance Management processes and support

  • Benchmarking new and existing positions in accordance with the salary system

  • Developing and undertaking Performance Appraisals processes, including the development of Annual Development Plans to support recommendation for Step increase.

  • Development of Policies and Procedures and presentation of information and advice to Consultative Committee and Union Representation

  • Compliance and audits in relation to Award (Better Off Over Tests and Award Interpretation)

  • Mentoring and Leadership Programs bespoke for your workplace leaders 

Whatever your support needs, we can help. Our support model can be tailored to provide assistance with one-off projects, ongoing HR aid or mentoring and development for your Leadership Team.
