Getting Ready for the Enterprise Bargaining
Round 2014

• Do you have limited Agency resources available to
  prepare for and conduct the next round of
  Enterprise Bargaining?
• Do you need to clarify where you sit within the
  APS market as you begin to develop your strategy
  and priorities for bargaining?
• Just not sure how and where to start with
  bargaining?

...then you should read on...

• With the 2014 Christmas and New Year period
  becoming a distant memory for most, our minds
  turn to business as usual as well as the next
  round of Enterprise Bargaining.
• With most EAs ending in June 2014, there is a
  lot of work involved in preparing and engaging in
  the bargaining process.
• And with what we expect to be the imminent
  release of the new Bargaining Parameters for the
  APS, its an ideal time to consider how you are
  going to resource and conduct the process.

HBA Consulting has developed some new products
and services that can help APS organisations to
prepare for and manage the bargaining process.
These are . . . . . . .

• A data base of all current Federal Government
  Enterprise Agreements

This database replaces the former hard copy APS
Compendium that has been produced by HBA
Consulting for almost a decade. In this new form,
we are able to target specific information for
Agencies and provide you with a tailored report
to assist you in benchmarking your position in
relation to other relevant organisations across
almost any set of terms and conditions required.
We can simply provide data or work with you to
provide analysis on the data and what it means.

• Structured guidance on all stages of the APS
  Bargaining process

This comprehensive how to guidance sets out all
steps in the process, and enables Agencies to
ensure that they have structured and are
conducting their EA process in accordance with
policy and industrial requirements. It also
enables the development of a partnership style
arrangement to the bargaining process that uses a
mixture of HBA Consulting and increasingly scarce
Agency resources to undertake bargaining from
start to finish.

• Current State Assessment

A service that takes the current Agency EA,
independently tests it against the Fair Work Act
provisions including the National Employment
Standards with regard to recent interpretive
decisions in the Commission and the relevant APS
employment policies, frameworks and procedures to
provide an evidence based starting point for EA
strategy development and the Agency management
bargaining position.
