The HR Impact

The HR Impact provides generalist HR consulting as an outsourced HR partner for Australian SMEs, based in Sydney and supporting businesses across Australia.

• Outsourced HR Manager service covers the full employee lifecycle including recruitment and onboarding, employment contracts and award interpretation, performance management, absence management, workplace policies, and termination, redundancy and restructure support.
• Employee Relations and HR Compliance service supports performance issues, grievances, terminations and restructures under the Fair Work Act 2009, with both advisory and hands on implementation support.
• HR Review and Health Check service assesses compliance and risk, operational effectiveness and strategic alignment, with a case study showing delivery of HR foundations and policy review work for Meshed Group, an education technology company.
• Engagement offered as a retainer based ongoing HR partnership or ad hoc hourly support, led by founder and HR consultant Nicole Howe.

Best for: Australian SMEs without an internal HR function that need ongoing, hands on outsourced HR support and Fair Work compliance guidance.

The HR Impact also delivers leadership development for Australian SMEs, run from its Sydney base as part of its broader HR consulting practice.

• One on one leadership mentoring programs run from four to twelve sessions, built around DISC profiling and 360 degree feedback, with a growth plan tailored to each leader.
• Leadership team effectiveness work uses facilitated sessions and DISC team profiling to improve how leadership teams make decisions and communicate together.
• Case study evidence includes mentoring four leaders and running DISC assessments across the leadership and sales teams at Meshed Group.

Best for: SME leadership teams needing structured, mentoring led development rather than off the shelf training.
