ILES strives to develop and offer innovative products responsive to global trends through its consultancy services. Through its Research and Development Department, the institute consults on specialised and targeted labour and employment contexts — helping organisations in both the public and private sector achieve their full growth potential by tackling a diverse range of labour and employment matters. ILES also offers consultation through private mediation and the chairing of disciplinary hearings. The consultancy is inclusive, participatory, and prioritises inputs from staff, beneficiaries and other key stakeholders, combining contextual analysis, research on best practices, focus groups, interviews and surveys, with monitoring and evaluation elements used to refine the project plan and recommendations.
