What could you achieve with your team?

Every business is in a unique position with their current team so an effective strategy requires an in-depth analysis of the current situation along with the short, medium and long term goals of the company.

Here are some real world results, achieved by implementing the result of my team strategy gap analysis:

Transforming Learning

By transforming the learning process (sales training for customer facing and leadership training for management), sales directly increased by 15% in APAC and 50% in Asia.

  • Timeline: 18 months from the start of the gap analysis through verifying initial results, testing, adjusting, finalising the strategy, implementing and gathering final results data.

Specialist Recruitment In-House

By bringing all specialist recruitment in-house the ASX listed client saved over $3.5 million in two years and continues to save on annual recruitment costs.

  • Timeline: 2 years to scale initial small testing group with one department up to company-wide processes.

NPS Score & Customer Facing Staff Turnover

Improved Net Promoter Score of all potential staff going through hiring process who were unsuccessful (not hired) from being in deeply negative numbers up to 20+. Directly correlated with huge improvement in new staff turnover during the first year leading to best staff retention figures in retail in APAC market.

  • Timeline: 12 months

Budgeting

Working with HR and people teams for a client to find efficiencies helped them come in under budget by more than 5% for five straight years in a row. Achieved through automation, simplifying processes where needed, improving systems, looking for costs savings and finding non-obvious efficiency opportunities.

Flexibility & Employer of Choice

The workforce of today wants flexibility in the hours and locations they work. Worked with a client in a challenging industry who was sure flexibility was not possible but realised that flexibility was important to their team and very important to becoming an employer of choice. Across two years, flexibility went from 12% globally to 32%.

  • Timeline: 2 years to drive flexibility changes in process and implementation
