Burgess and Sons Consulting has undertaken in excess of 600 misconduct, disciplinary, grievance and substandard performance (s79 Public Sector Management Act) investigations for over 100 organisations comprising WA state government agencies, in addition to numerous local government cities, towns and shires, commonwealth departments and private sector organisations throughout Western Australia from 1999 to the present, with particular and specific experience in successfully completing complex and sensitive investigations.  As a former Breach of Public Sector Standards reviewer, a significant number of breach reviews have been undertaken initially for the Commissioner for Public Sector Standards and more recently for agencies requesting an independent assessment of a breach claim.

Peter has also tutored and lectured at university in a number of Management and Human Resources units at undergraduate (first second and third year) levels and postgraduate units, and spent five years as a Management Consultant with Ernst & Young.

All investigations are independent and are undertaken in a bias free and extremely thorough manner ensuring procedural fairness with a high degree of confidentiality with findings made only on the evidence presented, in an objective manner.  With regard to grievance investigations that are subject to the Grievance Resolution Standard, reports are written that address all the issues raised in a grievance which ensures the minimum standard of merit, equity and probity as required by that standard is met, which precludes any subsequent breach claim submitted having substance.  Disciplinary and misconduct investigations are written to a standard that meets the requirements of the WAIRC or the Fair Work Commission should a respondent submit a claim to either of those bodies.

Recruitment management

The Nexus Network has been providing recruitment services to the WA Public Sector for nearly 20 years. In that time we have consulted to over 40 State Government agencies. Our work ranges from designing selection policies to conducting executive searches and supporting individual selection panels. Prior to moving into consulting, each of our consultants worked in a variety of government agencies. We therefore have a deep appreciation of, and commitment to, the public sector. Our comprehensive understanding of Public Sector recruitment practices led to us being appointed by the then Public Sector Standards Commissioner to undertake a review of the Breach Claim Regulations in place at the time. At Nexus, we continue to develop our skills and knowledge of recruitment practices, including innovative selection techniques, and pride ourselves on providing a quality service to our clients.
