Workforce Positive is about channelling human energy to change the world, one workplace at a time. As an advisor I connect with business owners and leaders every day to support them in their HR responsibilities. Answer technical questions, write road maps to achieve desired outcomes, and get my hands dirty to deliver business goals. What I have noticed is that there are many, many, many! people who carry HR responsibilities as part of their role – and they need support. That support is needed because, honestly, the Australian IR system is broken. It causes frustration, confusions and distress for business owners and administrators. The IR system is difficult to understand and access to timely information is hard to get at the right price. I talk openly about the broken IR system because I want business owners to know that they are not alone. Every employer in Australia is feeling HR pain in one way or another. For me personally, my purpose is to channel my energy and experience into relieving HR pain. I am the HR’s, HR. The professional, trusted advisor that champions small businesses in Australia and supports people to complete their HR duties, not do it for them. Employers with less than 50 staff are not going to have the need for a permanent HR on their team, and businesses with less than 100 staff have stand-alone HR advisor. These people are my people. If you need a HR community that supports you to do your HR yourself, understands your pain, and focuses on the practical - then join the Workforce Positive Collective. In the Workforce Positive Collective we don’t talk about HR theory, or management theory, or thought leadership. You can go to any certificate course or tertiary degree to get the theory. The Workforce Positive Collective is purely practical – because real-life HR is never taught in any course.
