Testimonials and Case Studies
Not For Profit Organisation – Management Workplace Misconduct
In this matter NFP personnel made misconduct allegations against a senior manager. The behavioural misconduct of the senior manager was alleged to have impacted the wellbeing of personnel and working relationships across multiple internal business units.
People Assignment Engagement:
People Assignment were engaged to undertake a robust and independent investigation of the allegations as the case was beyond the capability of the NFP.
Outcome:
People Assignment performed a highly professional and independent investigation of the allegations which was completed within agreed timeframe and budget allocation. The outcome was a series of clear, unbiased, and procedurally fair findings and recommendations as to how the NFP and importantly it's personnel, could move forward.
Allegations Against Local Government Personnel
In 2025 a series of serious misconduct allegations were made against an officer within a metropolitan Local Government Association (LGA). The allegations not only questioned the conduct of the officer, but they also had the potential to fracture the working relationship between the LGA and one of its key partners.
People Assignment Engagement:
People Assignment were appointed by the LGA to investigate the allegations. The matter necessitated significant field investigations and interviews, including the sourcing of documentary, photographic and video evidence.
Outcome:
People Assignment provided a comprehensive report to the LGA which contained clear findings and recommendations enabling them to move forward in the knowledge the matter had been thoroughly investigated with a clear outcome delivered. The investigation was delivered within a timeframe set by the client and within budget.
OHS and Misconduct Allegations
Occupational health and safety and workplace misconduct allegations were made against a regional LGA employee. The alleged behaviour of the employee was seen to create unnecessary personal and workplace risk.
People Assignment Engagement
The LGA engaged People Assignment to investigate the matter. The regional LGA advised they had tight financial constraints and needed a swift resolution to the allegations.
To deliver a successful outcome within these constraints, People Assignment proposed LGA HR personnel conduct the investigation overseen by People Assignment’s investigator based in Perth. This approach significantly reduced the financial impact for the regional LGA.
Working 24/7 a People Assignment Investigator created, a bespoke investigation plan including, investigative action register, a series of witness and respondent employee interview guides and other tools to enable the LGA to undertake the investigation themselves. This enabled the LGA’s HR personnel to undertake the investigative actions necessary to deliver a robust and fair outcome for all.
Outcome
Utilising People Assignment’s customised templates, collaborative and supportive approach, enabled the LGA to swiftly reach sound findings. A quality investigative outcome, oversighted by People Assignment, was delivered within the client’s limited budget and restricted timeframe.
High Profile Govt. Project, Statewide Impact
In 2024, with the imminent release of a ‘high profile, on-line’ service across the state of Western Australia, the need to establish a support centre to assist in managing public enquiries was required by this prominent Government Agency.
With infrastructure and systems in place, an immediate need was identified for a flexible, skilled workforce who met stringent Government criteria. The demand for the service itself was unmeasured and while expectations / research indicated staffing needs would be required; how many staff and for how long remained questions hard for them to answer.
People Assignment Engagement
With little time and the responsibility of ensuring the delivery of this service was successful to the general public, People Assignment was approached three weeks before the ‘launch of the service’ to assist in overcoming the challenges faced. In consultation with the Government Agency, a ‘persona of the ideal customer support consultant’ was created ensuring appropriate skills, communication style and qualifications/credentials. Once the persona was established, People Assignment swiftly identified and mobilised a workforce of 18 consultants who were able to attend training and complete what amounted to a 10-day on-site assignment.
Outcome:
People Assignment was acknowledged for the mobilisation and delivery of a short-term workforce who successfully contributed to the support of the statewide service. The flexibility and confidence provided by People Assignment ensured the Govt Agency was able to manage the initial influx of public enquiries during the initial roll-out before returning to a BAU status.
“Without exception this has been the most professional engagement process I have been involved in. The quality of the people you provided us with was simply outstanding. Thank you very much for your team’s hard work and flexibility – the Department very much appreciates it!”
WA Government Department Capability Increased
In 2024 the department had an immediate need to significantly increase its recruiting capability and capacity to on-board in excess of 250 new personnel within a short-term period.
People Assignment Engagement
People Assignment were approached by this WA State Government department to provide specialist HR recruiting personnel. Set against a demanding labour market, People Assignment deployed five specialist recruiting personnel to the department for a seven-month period.
Outcome:
The significant increase in recruiting capability brought economies of scale, slashing the per-head cost of recruiting, enabling the department to focus on its broader objectives. Upon completion of the project People Assignment provided the department with reports outlining system, process, and practice considerations to enhance internal recruiting capability.
