Most businesses are paying for HR systems they’re barely using.

Not because the platform is bad, but because no one has had the time, structure or expertise to set it up properly.

We regularly step into businesses where onboarding is inconsistent, contracts and policies are outdated, performance conversations aren’t being tracked, and key workflows inside Employment Hero are sitting completely untouched.

When implemented well, a platform like Employment Hero should reduce admin, improve compliance, streamline onboarding and provide real visibility across your people function.

The challenge usually isn’t the software.
It’s the setup, process design and ongoing management behind it.

That’s where we’ve been helping businesses, not just implement systems, but build people operations that actually support growth.

Placement: Product & Solutions Designer at 🚀

Another incredible placement with the team at PixelForce, bringing on a Product & Solutions Designer to bridge the gap between client vision and buildable reality.

This role is at the heart of how PixelForce delivers, owning the full scoping and design lifecycle. It’s a position that requires strong commercial thinking, technical literacy and the ability to guide clients toward the right product decisions, not just the requested ones.

What stood out in this process was finding someone who could balance strategy with ex*****on, confidently lead client conversations, and operate across multiple projects while maintaining a high standard of output.

A huge congratulations to Michael stepping into this role and to the PixelForce team for continuing to build out such a strong product and delivery function 👏

Not every team session needs a whiteboard 🌸

Last month we joined the team for their quarterly catch-up, swapping strategy sessions for flower arranging, good food and a chance to properly connect.

It was relaxed, creative and exactly what the team needed.

We talk a lot about high performance, but this is part of it too.
Teams that connect well, work well.

One of the best parts of what we do is being truly embedded with our clients, showing up for the big moments and the small ones.

And yes… we’ve now added “flower arranging” to our skillset.

Most organisations don’t have a retention problem.

They have a people experience problem.

Retention is a byproduct of how well your organisation shows up for its people, day in and day out. Yet most businesses only think about it once someone has handed in their notice — by then, it’s too late.

Here are 5 things that actually move the needle:

🚀 1. Onboard like it matters
The first 90 days set the tone. Clear expectations, strong structure, and regular check-ins build trust early.

🚀 2. Have the conversation early
Don’t wait for a problem. Regular, meaningful 1:1s help you stay ahead of disengagement.

🚀 3. Recognise effort properly
Generic praise doesn’t stick. Be specific, timely, and clear on why it mattered.

🚀 4. Invest in growth
People leave when they stop growing. Show them a future, through stretch, learning, and opportunity.

🚀 5. Create a culture where people can speak up
Psychological safety isn’t optional. When people feel safe to speak, trust builds and problems get solved faster.

The cost of replacing someone is high. Retention isn’t an HR metric, it’s a leadership responsibility.

Start with one. Do it well. Then build from there.

What’s made the biggest difference to retention in your business?

Hustling like a startup is fine.
Recruiting like one isn’t.

We see it all the time, high-growth businesses building serious momentum… but hiring is still reactive, inconsistent, and slowing everything down.

The truth?
The way you hire at 5–10 people won’t get you to 30, 50, 100+.

So we’re running a free live session for founders and leaders who want to get this right 👇

In this session, we’ll break down:
• The hiring mistakes that quietly cost you momentum
• What high-performing teams do differently
• How to bring structure into your hiring (without overcomplicating it)
• Practical ways to improve your hiring outcomes immediately

This is built from real work with scaling businesses, no fluff, just what actually works.

📅 14 May
🕛 10.30am - 11.15am ACST
🎟️ Free session

If you’re planning to grow your team this year, this is worth your time.
