I had a disciplinary meeting coming up at work and was a member of our union, however my rep was not available to discuss my case until the day prior to the meeting (1 week’s notice) and did not request any information from me. I was concerned and stressed as I didn’t know what to expect so called Ira.

Ira advised me that although I was a member of a union I could still use her services. She looked into my case straight away and highlighted a few issues with the allegations against me and helped me to prepare for the meeting.

Ira sought her fees from my employer so it did not cost me anything, unlike my union fees for the past 10 years?!

I told my union rep not to bother and are so grateful to Ira, I would not have known any better if I had waited for my union rep and I would not have come out of my situation so well if I had. Thank you Ira MA

Ira worked on my case for more than 2 years. I was in a difficult employment situation which included my accommodation. I had Employment issues, Tenancy issues and Health and Safety issues, so Ira looked after all of it together and very skillfully worked with my employer until they were all resolved, I was blown away! Ira is more than just a Employment Specialist, she was my guardian. BC

I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you have done for both myself and my partner. I have not meet a more incredible lady than yourself and we are so grateful for all your help. NG

Whilst still in hospital after undergoing a life changing operation which allowed me a quality of life I have never experienced, to be some kind of “normal”, my employment was terminated.

Devastated, I contacted Ira once I was able to come to terms with what had happened, and she was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process.

Ira was kind and compassionate with my situation, I was still a bit forgetful due to my operation, and communicated with my support people to ensure everyone was on the same page at all times and went the extra mile for me. She worked long nights on my case, no matter when I text her she would always respond in a timely manner.
 
I found Ira to be professional, knowledgeable and articulate. The entire process was seamless and relatively stress free, she did all the hard work for me. I could rely on Ira the entire time.
 
In meetings, Ira explained everything to myself and my support people, asked if I was okay or had any questions. She was there for me and at no stage did I think she was doing this for her own benefit.
 
My experience with Ira has been nothing short of outstanding and I cannot thank her enough. I am extremely happy with the result Ira achieved for me in such a short period of time.

If you are after an advocate that works for you while also being kind, empathetic and genuine then Ira is the perfect person for the job. I have so much respect for Ira she is simply incredible.
 
Thank you so much Ira. (S)

Omg! Wow, its actually over! I’m super happy with the results.

This was definitely worth the fight by all means. I just can’t thank you enough for sticking it out with me [2 years 9 months] and supporting me throughout this whole process, even tho you had traumatic events in your life too. I can’t believe how you did it. Wahine Toa!!

For me, it definitely became especially hard after my separation and to be honest you made it all possible…Omg! Many a time I wanted to give in but I just thought about what you went through right in the middle of my case…you’re the best girl, and I’ll always be eternally grateful. And a life lesson well learnt. MR

Message of gratitude from my mum and I, we would like to acknowledge Ira’s exceptional representation.  Mere words could not describe how extremely grateful we were for the way Ira facilitated the whole process.

It was an extremely difficult experience for my mother who resides in Tairawhiti, Gisborne and Ira was by her side every step of the way. Despite exhibiting a significantly high level of professionalism, Ira was also very empathetic and provided consistent assurance giving my mother the security she desperately needed during such a trying period of time.

As stated before, words cannot express or illustrate how thankful we are for her exemplary support.  We both actively highly praise Ira’s efforts to our work colleagues and friends and will not hesitate to advise others who are being mistreated in the workplace that “she is the woman you need to be having a discussion with”…
Sincere regards C&D W.

“Oh goodness, Ira, where do I begin? My brother was unfairly dismissed and when we decided to act, we were put in touch with Ira, and honestly, she is AMAZING! I cannot recommend her enough. She had our back right from the get-go and didn’t let up or back down until it was sorted.

Exceptional communication, very down to earth and lovely to talk to. Took all the stress out of the whole process and got a fantastic end result in a very short time despite the lockdown!!

Would send flowers if we could! Thank you so much Ira, we couldn’t have done it without you!” Marie

It is the utmost respect and gratitude that I have for Ira.

Not only did you offer true professionalism and honest support and advice but you stepped outside, I believe, of your roll and insured that the safety and well-being of my family was put first. For this alone we are truly humbled and grateful.

Stepping back into your roll as my Employment Consultant I got to witness firsthand how amazing and efficient you were. I’m still amazed, at not only how you instructed my employer to engage in mediation but you enabled them to view concerns from our point of view and to take responsibility and accountability for their actions.

I am able to stand again within the mana of my own space with the faith and confidence that things have been put right moving forward.

“Ira helped me out when I needed information about a former employer after I was laid off. Within the hour I had everything I needed. Fast, efficient, and friendly. I would definitely recommend Ira Consulting and would definitely use their services again should the need arise.” Matthew

Ira is the best! She helped me with everything I needed when I was dismissed from my job. She took time out of her Saturday’s and Sunday’s to work on my case and she was always responsive, no matter the time of day or how busy she was! I highly recommend Ira and feels like a blessing to stumble across her in my time of need. The entire process happened very quickly and I couldn’t thank her enough!  Jake

Ira encouraged me to speak honestly to the Employer regarding my life impact from this situation. Ira is fantastic, and her work is thorough, very carefully written and articulated.

I had no hesitation in relying on her completely and would encourage any person to seek her out and chat through their current needs. My result was great and I achieved what I needed personally, and I feel that it was very worthwhile taking the time to pursue this result. Ira goes the extra mile. 

I can’t believe its done and dusted. Our process was a lot shorter than most I imagine. I can’t thank you enough Ira…that’s impressive. Thanks again. CW

I was referred to Ira from a couple of folks who informed me that she was worth seeking out for help as I had a recent Employment issue. Ira has been informative and knowledgeable about the processes of Mediation and Employment Relations Law right from the first conversation I had with her. She has always been able to answer any question I put to her, and help debrief the situation as it unfolded. During mediation, she was considerate but yet able to steer me in the right direction and frame of mind. Lyn

“A big thanks again, highly recommend you!” Anthony

“Aunty Ira, you truly work wonders !! I can not thank you enough for all that you do and have done. You have gone above and beyond for me more than once and each time a successful outcome. You exceed all expectation of a consultant and bond with clients on not only a professional level but a personal one making the process that much more comforting, so thank you. I have and will continue recommending you 100% to everyone cos there’s no mucking around with you 🙂 RH

“Dear Ira, thank you for your guidance through this period of my life. I hope you know how much you assist people to come to terms with what is happening to them in difficult times. You have been amazing in helping me…” CP

“Ira Consulting helped me with a difficult workplace dispute. Ira was extremely professional and always had fantastic advice when it came to any interactions with the previous employer. I would definitely recommend Ira Consulting to anyone having trouble with an employer.”  AB
