People + Culture Strategies

We at People + Culture Strategies wish our clients and friends from all over Australia and around the world a safe and festive holiday season. 2024 has been a record year for our firm on a number of fronts. We would not have been able to achieve what we have without the loyalty of the many people and organisations who trust us every day to guide, advise, represent and educate them. We say a heartfelt thank you and can’t wait to do even more than what we did this year in 2025 as we celebrate our firm’s 15th birthday. Finally, to those organisations whom we have supported across our philanthropic pillars of arts, sport and education, we value our relationships with you greatly.

Breach of a workplace policy…it’s a common reason relied on by employers to justify the termination of an employee’s employment. But a recent decision of the Fair Work Commission makes it clear that employers must ensure employees are aware of the policies and that they have been implemented effectively. #employmentlaw #humanresources #hr #peoplemanagement

Much of our focus when discussing people management issues revolves around “what”, “when”, and “how”. All of that is important, but sometimes our discussions risk deprioritising or, at least assuming too much about, “why”.

Very pleased with the execution of our first "In Conversation with ..." webinar earlier today ... thanks Allie Smith for capturing some of our preparation activity. 109 people on the webinar itself. Incredible.
