Case Study: Australian Retailers Association

The partnership has strengthened the ARA’s employment relations service substantially, and the ARA now boasts one of the largest and most experienced employment relations teams in the country. The outsourcing partnership was the first of its kind in Australia, delivering a national service delivery model through sophisticated telephone, web-based and consulting solutions.
