Now Actually have been able to help us navigate the multiple changes in employment law over the last few years. Through the COVID period they were able to provide guidance and a framework to manage our COVID compliance.

Now Actually were also involved in assisting us with our significant restructure. They were instrumental in providing the documentation to support that as well as strategic advice on how we go about it. One of the benefits of this was that in the restructure they were able get the Founder off the tools and into a role that enabled him to grow the business. And along the way they have been providing useful and meaningful updates that allow us to focus on the day to day running of the business!”

“As a NDIS provider in NSW there have been significant changes to our industry throughout the COVID pandemic. Having to navigate these changes whilst running a business is tricky. Since engaging with Now Actually I have been able to focus my attention on where it needs to be in business knowing that the HR strategy is taken care of.

They have also been able to explain or provide context around specific clauses listed in the EBA”
