With a portfolio that spans some of Australia's most trusted and beloved homeware brands, AHE has built a reputation for excellence both in its products and its business practices.
As a dynamic and forward-thinking organisation, AHE understands that staying ahead in a competitive market requires more than just exceptional products; it requires a strong, aligned workforce that can drive the company’s strategic vision forward. Recognising this, AHE partnered with Exsona to develop a comprehensive People Strategy that would not only support their business goals but also cultivate a high-performance culture across the organisation.
With a focus on aligning the People & Culture function with AHE’s strategic pillars, this collaboration set the stage for long-term success, ensuring that AHE remains at the forefront of the industry while fostering an environment where employees thrive.
Australian Homeware Enterprises (AHE), a growing organisation in the manufacturing industry, recognised the need to align its People & Culture (P&C) function more closely with its evolving business strategy.
As the company continued to expand, there was a pressing requirement to enhance the effectiveness of the P&C function to better support the company's strategic pillars.
The challenge was to create a People Strategy that would address existing gaps, capitalise on opportunities, and equip the P&C function to drive the company's success.
Applying our efficient 5D Methodology, Exsona quickly discovered critical pain points and collaborated closely with AHE’s leadership to design and deliver a robust People Strategy, complete with a clear 2–3 year roadmap, within an ambitious 60-day timeframe.
Exsona provided immediate clarity and actionable strategies without dragging AHE through complex or lengthy processes. The speed, precision, and practicality of our approach ensured rapid, measurable improvement.
By thoroughly understanding the business strategy and involving key stakeholders throughout the process, Exsona was able to deliver a People Strategy that is both relevant and impactful. Here's what AHE had to say about the experience:
"Exsona’s expertise in helping develop our People Strategy was instrumental. They employ a methodical approach combined with a deep understanding of both our business and HR functions to help develop a clear path forward. We’re confident this strategy will drive significant improvements in our people practices and support our business’s ongoing success." Matt Von Wald, Manager People and Culture
