With over 8 years working in HR in high-volume employment relations roles I feel like I have seen it all – the good, the bad and the downright ugly. And let me tell you, when things go wrong, it can get very ugly indeed!
The thing is, it doesn’t need to.
If you have the right knowledge, the right approach, and you take quick and purposeful action, you are more likely to influence and deliver positive outcomes for all the parties involve.
With my extensive experience navigating, leading, supporting and resolving hundreds of different employment related matters, I am now passionate about educating and upskilling others and advocating for superior HR practices and application.
This is why I created this course, to share my expertise and knowledge distilled into a simple format to teach you everything you need to know to avoid ‘the ugly’ and make a real impact in your workplace.
