What do you love most about your job?
My passion is working with organisations to help them optimise the achievement of their business objectives, through effective and efficient people strategies and delivery. I love being able to understand the business and add greater value over time by ensuring all thing HR are tailored to fit each client.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to work with small businesses who cannot afford a full time (or even part time) senior experienced HR professional, but really would like to be able to have access to input from someone on an “as needed” basis.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I’ve got lots of experience across a broad range of industries and I offer pragmatic and commercial solutions that are going to add value, not be some over-engineered expensive exercise that won’t deliver a result for you.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I often work remotely, but am equally happy to meet and work onsite - it’s about what works for each client and each assignment/project.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am a religious scanner and keep appraised of the current situation in regard to Covid-19 in New Zealand. Depending on the current situation, will determine whether I meet in person, or we need to lean more heavily of technology and e-meetings.
HR consulting services
Your outsourced in-house senior HR professional, capable of providing all HR operational and strategic services or knowing how to get you specialists where needed. Services include recruitment and selection, performance management, disciplinary processes, remuneration and benefits and organisation design/development.
Compensation & Benefits
Attracting and retaining top talent is critical to achieving your show and long term business goals. If you need help to get your offering right, and aligned equitably across your organisation, Changing Gear can help.
Employee engagement/relations
Organisations with highly engaged employees perform better. Changing Gear can work with you to ensure you are creating an environment that fosters engagement. That said, sometimes you will have employment relations issues, and these might need a reactive approach. We can help with sorting out these too!
Executive Coaching
Sometimes the more senior you become, the lonelier it gets, and you struggle to find someone you can trust to have confidential conversations with. If you want someone to be a sounding board, challenge your thinking, and encourage you to be the very best leader/manager you can be, let Changing Gear help you get there!
HR outsourcing
Too small to have an in-house HR person/team, but know you need HR specialist support. It might be operational delivery this week, and strategy or organisation design next week. Let Changing Gear be your "on tap" HR team when you need it and only pay for what you use.
Organisation Design
Feel like something just isn't working in your organisation, or looking to switch up your strategy and want to ensure your structure is aligned to deliver on that - getting Changing Gear involved will help you to work through that with you and make sure your people deliver on your vision.
Performance & reward
Recognising and rewarding people leads to highly motivated and engaged employees. Making sure you do this in an equitable way across your organisation, and that it remains in sync both internally and to the external market, can be a difficult balancing act. If you need help, contact Changing Gear.
Recruitment & Selection
Strategically one of the most important aspects of HR managers and leaders get involved in! But it is a specialist skill, so use someone who has lots of experience and success in helping organisations find great talent. Remember the saying - "Recruit hard - manage easy" and don't get caught with "Recruit lazy - manage hard!" It can be very easy to get someone in the door, and very difficult to get them out. Be smart where you invest your time and energy and engaged Changing Gear to help you!
