Why it matters

Avoided conversations don’t disappear — they get more expensive.

Festering underperformance
The problem everyone sees but no one addresses, dragging the whole team down.
Undocumented warnings
Verbal chats that leave you with no trail when it escalates to a claim.
Unfair dismissal exposure
Process missteps that turn a fair decision into a costly Fair Work claim.
Manager burnout
Owners and managers carrying people problems they were never trained for.

The person behind the work

"Most people problems aren’t legal problems yet — they become ones when they’re avoided. I help you have the conversation while it’s still fixable."

FAQ

Performance & ER questions, answered.

Can you sit in on the conversation?
Yes. We can coach you beforehand or be in the room — in person or by call — for the conversations that carry the most risk.
Someone is underperforming. Where do we start?
With a plan. We’ll assess the situation, set up a fair improvement process, and make sure every step is documented properly.
How do we avoid an unfair dismissal claim?
Process is everything. Done correctly — fair warnings, real chances, clear records — most dismissals are defensible. We make sure yours is.
Do you know our industry and award?
Almost certainly. Martin has 15+ years across construction, hospitality, healthcare, professional services and more.
