Nic is also a frequent writer and speaker across various Human Resources Professional Groups, as well as related Industry Associations, offering practical considerations that are proactive, while identifying gaps that go well beyond the usual circulars that do the rounds.
Nic also remains passionately affiliated with the Labour Law body in South Africa (SASLAW), which offers pro bono representation, guidance and advice to some of South Africa's most vulnerable and poorest of workers, who would not otherwise have access to justice. Throughout his career, Nic has also appeared in several print and media news, as well as television and radio interviews.
