Our ER services
What do you need fixed first?
We embed expert ER consultants who handle day-to-day disputes, complex negotiations, and policy work that has to stand up to scrutiny. No guesswork. No theatre. Just clean, workable support for busy Irish employers.

ER specialists for your sector
Built for the sectors that feel pressure first.
Healthcare, construction, engineering, and manufacturing all carry their own habits, hazards, and flashpoints. We know the patterns. We also know how quickly a small issue turns into a full-blown operational risk.
Healthcare
IR challenges in HSE-funded settings, handled with care.
Construction
Site-based union dynamics and project-lifecycle ER.
Manufacturing
Shift-work disputes, safety grievances, and attendance pressure.
Engineering
Policy clarity for technical teams and supervisors alike.
How we restore harmony
A clear process. No drama.
We move fast, but we don’t rush the facts. That’s the difference between a temporary fix and a resolution people can actually live with.
1
Rapid diagnosis call within 4 hours
We establish the risk, the stakeholders, and the likely route forward. Why wait for the problem to deepen?
2
On-site or remote investigation
We gather evidence properly, handle confidentiality with respect, and keep the process fair from the start.
3
Mediation and negotiation
We lead the conversation, soften the heat, and push toward agreement. The room gets quieter. The path gets clearer.
4
Resolution documentation and policy update
Every outcome is recorded cleanly, then fed back into policy so the same issue doesn’t keep returning.
Case study
From walkout to win-win.
A Dublin construction site faced a wildcat strike over shift allowances. The team needed action, not a stack of excuses. We stepped in for 48 hours of intense mediation, built a new shift-pay matrix, and got all parties to sign off.

ER support Dublin
Questions people ask quietly, until they can’t.
If you’re dealing with a grievance, a bullying claim, or a union issue, you probably have the same questions everyone else is afraid to ask. Fair enough. Let’s answer them properly.
Can you represent us at the WRC?
Yes. We support you from mediation through to adjudication, and we keep the file tight all the way through. Why walk in alone?
How quickly can you mobilise?
We can have an ER consultant on-site within 24 hours in Dublin, and we’ll often start with a same-day diagnosis call.
Do you handle bullying and harassment claims?
Yes. We manage full investigations, issue findings, and help you close the loop with clear documentation and next steps.
Can you help refresh our policies?
Absolutely. We update policies, handbooks, and manager guidance so they reflect current practice and don’t create unnecessary exposure.
Keep your workplace healthy
Don’t wait for a crisis.
If the mood is shifting, the paperwork is piling up, or a meeting has gone cold, we’re ready to help. Book an ER Health Check and get a clear view of the risks before they get expensive.
