Wise Workplace Solutions is my go to investigations firm. They are pragmatic, efficient and cost effective. Investigations are difficult and the work we get feels like a true partnership. We need investigators who have the EQ to speak to senior people. The Wise Workplace Solutions team certainly has that.

For complex investigations requiring a nuanced understanding of workplace dynamics and a high degree of EQ, I cannot recommend Wise Workplace Solutions more highly. Recently Jon has undertaken two difficult assessments for us in complex public sector environments, and each time has produced sound, evidence-based reports. This is consistent with our experience of Karen and Jon over many years. Importantly both Karen and Jon remain easy to work with, providing clearly communicated updates on time and costs that are easily understood by clients.

I have worked with Jon Morley and Karen Wise of Wise Workplace Solutions for many years. I have always found them to be excellent workplace investigators: thorough, detailed, empathetic and very easy to work with. I recently worked with Jon on a sensitive matter for a large multi-national client and he again provided a high-quality investigation and report within a very tight timeframe. He was also excellent in his dealings with the client.

In the many years we have been associated with Wise Workplace Solutions, they have provided outstanding service. They have managed our complex and challenging investigations and never failed to deliver. Their highly professional team of investigators are very thorough, they make our priorities their priorities and they have exceeded all expectations in delivering a timely, professional, ethical and caring service.

I have engaged Wise Workplace Solutions over the last 4 years to undertake various workplace investigations, including culture reviews. All their consultants have a thorough knowledge of the complexities associated with the Local Government sector which makes my job of briefing them just that little bit easier. For me, their point of difference is the comprehensive updates provided throughout investigations and reviews, and their application of the principles of procedural fairness.

I have worked very closely with Karen, Jon and the Wise Workplace Solutions team, and I have found them to be an absolute pleasure to deal with. The Wise Workplace Solutions approach is always considered, professional, thorough and practical. They understand deeply our business and the environment in which we operate and how best to navigate the sensitivities and complexities involved in workplace investigations and conflict resolution. At every stage of the matter, we are kept abreast of where things are at by their consultants, so that we can manage our own internal stakeholders and their demands. I can’t highly enough recommend Wise Workplace Solutions.

We have worked with Wise Workplace Solutions for two cultural reviews. Wise Workplace Solutions clearly understood the brief required, put in place a clear and evidence based approach in order to get to the root cause of the issues, engaged in respectful interviews with the participants and got buy in from participants to future actions. Wise Workplace Solutions have great technical expertise, are very perceptive to the issues and are great communicators. Wise Workplace Solutions care about delivering quality solutions that address the issues that arise through procedurally sound processes whilst also rebuilding the culture of the impacted team.

I have worked with Wise Workplace Solutions for over a decade and can say that every engagement has been positive – a consistently high standard of consultant, timely and thorough processes, strong and clear communication throughout and pragmatic and practical recommendations. Karen and Jon always take the time to ensure the scope of work is suitable to the situation and tailored to each scenario. A recent Workplace Culture review has provided excellent insights as to how to improve the work culture within the team and in carrying out the recommendation will make a real impact on the work life of those in the team. Could not recommend Wise Workplace Solutions more strongly!
