Our History

There is always a catalyst or spark of inspiration to commence a new enterprise. This is true for the birth of ER Strategies, with Steve Champion’s strong desire to start his own employee relations consulting business to make his specialised skills and experience in that field available to a wider audience in 1999. He started his own consulting company that operated out of the rumpus room in Steve and Wendy’s house for the first couple of years.

The initial inception of ER Strategies comprised a silent partner and soon 3 employees, being Steve, Wendy and their first employee Jonathan. With our steady success, we soon outgrew the rumpus room and moved into offices in Berry St, North Sydney.

ER Strategies’ initial packaged service offering was LabourNet, a product that early clients such as Sydney Kitchens, Glidepath and the KFC Franchisee Association embraced and who are still valued clients today. ER Strategies soon expanded into other aligned enterprises, such as offering workers comp premium discount services and a mystery customer program, which was originally developed to provide service performance feedback to registered clubs in NSW and then developed to service other industries.

In 2012, David Price entered the ER Strategies arena as a Senior Consultant, following his previous employment as an Inspector with the Fair Work Ombudsman. He now is our General Manager overseeing the daily operational workflow of our business and ensuring our product offering is in line with ever-changing legislation.

Moving premises has been an indicator of our continued growth and success, with our subsequent moves from Berry St to Mount St in North Sydney, then to North Ryde, before our move to our current location almost on top of Chatswood Station.

In recent years ERS has significantly expanded to address non-compliance activities revealed by the media in the franchise sector. Our specialised product offerings now extend to support many franchised organisations alongside our continued exceptional service for our other corporate and small business clients across a range of industries.

Our staff share our founders’ passion for fostering harmonious and productive work environments for our valued client base. Our team supports various disciplines within the business ranging from employee and industrial relations, human resources, accounting and administration, payroll auditing, and Sales and Marketing.
