An operational business needed a practical way for supervisors to hold regular one-to-one conversations with warehouse and manufacturing employees.
Our work
CCG prepared and delivered training on effective one-to-one meetings, issued supporting documents to leaders, and adapted the meeting agenda and template following feedback about the needs of the operational teams.

Leaders received training and a tailored meeting framework they could use for employee check-ins and feedback.
The need
An industrial employer needed help working through award coverage and employment-condition questions while progressing enterprise-agreement discussions.
Our work
CCG reviewed the relevant award and agreement provisions, prepared written findings, and worked through questions with management and payroll. We also supported employee-representative communications and provided advice on the next steps in agreement discussions.
What was delivered
Management and payroll received documented advice and supporting communications to inform their decisions and the ongoing agreement process.
Manufacturing businesses can have production, warehouse, distribution, technical and office roles. A single label for the business does not explain every employee’s work.
We gather the information needed to assess your employment questions, review the relevant arrangements and work through findings with management and payroll. If a wider agreement process is involved, we clarify the support and next steps within our scope.
Operational leaders need an approach to employee conversations that fits their responsibilities. A generic template can leave them unsure what to ask, how to give feedback or what to record.
We can prepare and deliver training, tailor a meeting framework and support follow-up. The aim is a practical process leaders can put into use across warehouse and manufacturing teams.
