How We Work

Workforce Success, minus the waffle

Most HR strategies fail because they’re too generic, too complex, or too disconnected from what the business actually needs. That’s why we created the 5D Method — a proven framework for turning people problems into business wins. It's for HR leaders stuck in the grind — juggling too much, losing great people, struggling to prove ROI, and sick of strategies that never land.

What We Don’t Do

We’re not a traditional HR consultancy. We don’t hand you a thick strategy deck, wish you luck, and call that transformation.

We’re not a wellbeing app, a bullish!t survey platform, or a shiny HR tech startup. We won’t sell you dashboards your people won’t use or “solutions” that just tick a box.

We’re not here for corporate theatre. We don’t believe in fluffy engagement programs, buzzword bingo, or culture posters that don't reflect reality.

We won’t drag you through a 6-month process to tell you what you already know. And we won’t sell you a “people-first” promise with no way to prove it.

We build Workforce Success. That means practical, measurable people strategy — designed to fix attraction, engagement, and retention where it really counts.

If that’s what you’re looking for, we should talk.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the business case for Workforce Success?

Attraction, engagement, and retention aren’t just HR priorities — they’re business levers.
We’ve helped clients:

  • Lift eNPS by 17 points in 12 months

  • Cut turnover by 20% (saving $250K+ annually)

  • Speed up hiring and boost employer brand engagement by 726%

Workforce Success™ turns HR into a revenue-aligned engine — not a cost centre.

Who do you typically work with?

Mid-sized, growth-focused organisations — especially those scaling, changing, or stuck.
We partner with:

  • People Leaders flying solo

  • P&C teams under pressure

  • Execs who want HR to drive the business forward

Our clients span industries like construction, finance, aviation, education, and tech.

How do you help HR teams get executive buy-in?

We make people strategy commercial.
By showing the impact in dollars, risk, and retention — not just vibes and values — we give HR leaders the data and language execs respond to.

We don’t chase approval. We build proof.

How do you measure success?

Success = business impact.
We track:

  • Turnover rates and costs
  • Engagement and eNPS
  • Hiring time and recruitment metrics
  • Social media metrics
  • Wellbeing and happiness
  • Psychosocial hazards
  • Employee participation
  • and more!

If it can’t be measured, we don’t recommend it.

How long does a typical project take?

Most projects run for 6–12 weeks, depending on complexity.
We also offer:

  • People Strategy Sprints (delivered in 2 weeks)

  • Longer-term implementation partnerships

We move at the speed of your business — not HR bureaucracy.

That includes:

  • Discovery workshops

  • Business impact reporting

If your strategy is going to work, the right people need to help shape it — and we make sure they do.

What if our company is resistant to change?

That’s normal.
We overcome resistance with:

  • Quick wins

  • Business-aligned messaging

  • Measurable progress

Skeptics become supporters when they see results.
