About us
Get to know us a bit better.
OUR LEADERSHIP
Eugene Van Jaarsveldt and Kathy Morrison set up EVJ & Associates in 2015, in response to the need to ensure the practical implementation of strategic issues arising in employee relations.
In the beginning, we conducted independent investigations, referred to us by solicitors. These investigations covered both grievances and discipline and ranged from simple performance management issues to more complex fraud and bribery allegations.
​
Today, in addition to partnering with solicitors, we work with small and large businesses to help them run more cost-effectively, improve employee relations and train line managers to better deal with people.
​
We take pride in our core values which include independence and impartiality, with an empathetic approach, strong communication skills, combined with proficient business acumen.
