Bespoke HR advisory and people development services for Founders, Small Business and Scale-Ups!
Let's TalkWe've done corporate.
We prefer crazy!
"Start Ups" and "Up all Night" is our thing.
We're for you if you're big enough to need help, small enough not to need it all the time. We do the heavy lifting when you need it most. Small interventions at the right time, saving you time and money down the track.
We are Joss & Lisa! We met in a scale-up and haven't looked back. We've been in the thick of things where rapid growth collides with people pressure - rapid hiring, policy development, compliance, governance, people systems and performance. We've managed up, down, and sideways in fast paced start-ups, and are your hands on, sleeves rolled up partners across every stage of the employee life cycle.
We understand evolving org design, role re-engineering, on-the-fly leadership development, employee informed exit strategies, and the Fair Work landscape. We sit at the intersection of business growth and organisational rigour. Helping optimise your scaling with the appropriate guardrails so you can get on with your business!
We also love coffee and a chat! Book a time to connect and we'll make it happen.
