Health Services Union

• Australia
• Civic and Social Organizations
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Industrial Services Officer

  • Aug 2021 - Feb 2022

  In this role I truly enjoyed and valued supporting employees/individuals in workplace disputes that had potential to severely impact their lives. This role focused less on technical compliance and the letter of the law, and more on the coaching/advice provided to members of the Union, and representing them in meetings with management which helped level the uneven playing field employees can find themselves on. What I enjoyed most about this role was: - Building connections with diverse members (from cleaners to Senior HR Business Partners at NSW Health); - Advising and representing my members rights towards management (i.e., through emails, calls and virtual meetings); - Supporting members to overcome unfair practices/prejudices to improve their working and overall life; - Advocating for the continuous improvement of employee rights in the workplace. The role opened my eyes to the effect of unfair (or unreasonable) management action and the detrimental impact this can have on employees, which led to frustrations about HR and management more broadly often fail to consider ways a process/outcome can be achieved in a fairer and more reasonable way.
