Bruniquel & Associates turns 30

Bruniquel & Associates, which specialises in; industrial relations, diversity and leadership training, HR consulting and skills development, has celebrated its 30th anniversary this month. The company produces training DVDs and accredited, practical, systems-based training programmes that can be customised to clients' needs.

B&A delivers training and consulting solutions that aim to help businesses across all industries manage conflict and, in the process, become more efficient and productive. B&A facilitators have practical experience and have been trained in aspects of labour law, HR, leadership, diversity and skills development.

The company was started by Bruno Bruniquel in 1981 with a mission to assist in bringing about peaceful change in South Africa by teaching people in the workplace how to handle conflict effectively. Bruniquel learnt to produce practical, system-based training programmes augmented by videos that he wrote and produced. Today more than 200 organisations throughout South Africa regularly make use of the B&A training programmes.

Different challenges

Today, while the challenges are different, there is still a strong need to teach managers how to deal with labour relations. A new development for B&A was the introduction of leadership training to its portfolio. "Discipline is often used as a substitute for leadership. The challenge is, therefore, to shift paradigms so as to produce leaders who can bring about productive and profitable workplaces" Bruniquel said.
