"Congratulations to CEO Nigel Ward and his entire team on this wonderful achievement, which is great recognition for the work they do," said Business NSW Chief Executive Daniel Hunter.

"When you consider the different issues businesses have needed workplace advice on over the last 12 months, to be named the Workplace Relations and Employment team of the year speaks to the knowledge, skills, experience and dedication that the team takes into every single day," Mr Hunter said.

"It’s a privilege to lead an organisation which is not only diverse in its offering to businesses, but clearly has the best of the best when it comes to talent.

"Challenges for businesses never stop, and we will all continue to provide the best advice to guide business owners and their staff through uncertain times.

"This Award is a great way to end what has been a difficult but rewarding year for many businesses, including our own," Mr Hunter said.
