Our organisation’s journey started in 1991, when Paul Diver founded Paul Diver Associates after reflecting on employment relations in New Zealand, and what the space was missing. Paul observed that the industrial relations system in New Zealand was focused on centrally controlled processes rather than relationships between employers and employees.
Guided by Dr Margaret Wheatley’s words, “relationships are all that there is”, Paul Diver Associates sought to promote the direct nature of the relationship between employers and employees, while acknowledging the role that unions had to play in many workplaces.
In 2017 the organisation rebranded as Three60 Consult. While our foundations remain unchanged, our services have expanded and our mission has advanced. We now work across employment conflict resolution including mediations, workplace investigations, audit and compliance and continue to provide expert HR/ER support and strategy, and collective bargaining. Across all engagements, we are committed to partnering with businesses to develop, improve and sustain their workplace relationships.
We welcome all clients, big or small, from listed companies to SMEs.
