25.01.2022 Audit your culture! Just as you would audit your business financials or employee productivity, your culture needs auditing too. Inspect your policies, systems, review complaints processes, and consultation then improve on them!

22.01.2022 Don’t be the Fun Police... be the Smart Police instead. Look out. Party season is upon us. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love having fun. So the very last thing I will EVER say to a client is to stop the Christmas party due to risk of things going wrong. It is a sad day when your people can't be rewarded and have a good time together. In fact, I usually say the opposite - make sure you encourage your people for doing great things. So, keep the party, ditch the lack o...f planning and foresight. Here are a few 'top tips' to get ready for your Christmas party: 1. Be smart about it. Don't just plonk all of your people in a fun bar/restaurant and hope for the best. 2. Make sure the venue is appropriate for the function. Numero Uno. Is it SAFE? For example, steer clear from venues where it is hard to keep an eye on everyone (i.e. venues with lots of small secluded rooms/areas), check the venue upholds RSA requirements and be clear that this will be very much expected on the day/night, do they serve food?... even a mini-risk assessment/visit of/to the venue is not OTT, it is smart. 3. Make sure there are a few sober people there to supervise the event, work out how many in a ratio to your people. This is a big one. The legal obligations to keep people safe and prevent harassment/bullying/discrimination don't end (as we know) outside the 4 walls of your business. It is incredible how much of a difference a few sets of sober eyes can have in keeping everyone out of harm's way - i.e. getting too drunk... or gawd, too touchy feely. Sober eyes can really minimise harm in many ways, e.g. getting Jade some water/more food if she is getting too intoxicated, making sure silly arguments don't start/continue or escalate, making sure Dave gets home ok if he for some reason needs to leave in a rush.. there are soooo many reasons why sober eyes are important. 4. Keep serving food and water. We have all been there, we get excited, drink too fast, don't eat enough, and it never ends well. Make sure there is plenty of water and hearty food on offer throughout the function. 5. Yes, send the reminder. We are being warned now from our Work Health and Safety regulators about the need to ingrain our policies values and expectations into our culture. I have worked on 100's of cases in this area and seen so many awful outcomes due to poor decisions made by people during poorly planned Christmas events. A strong message from the Boss before these events/silly season is important (and prudent). Remind people of the expectations of good behaviour in line with your policies and that yes, consequences will follow if expectations are not met. Set the bar - and be clear about it. An additional reminder to your leaders is also a great idea. This helps to instil the importance of great (proactive/safe) leadership and reminds leaders that they play a vital role to keeping everyone safe too. 6. Have a great time!

20.01.2022 Self-awareness is key to great leadership! You can attend 10000 seminars, conferences and training programs on leadership. But without self-awareness, you simply cannot reach your full potential as a leader. Who agrees?

17.01.2022 Fantastic week sharing ideas on culture and preventing bullying/harassment with a great accounting firm in Melbourne. Working with the leaders is where the magic happens for us!

11.01.2022 We just want to say thank you to all of our amazing clients who we have worked with over the past year from some of our Aussie sports organisations, charities to the emergency services, tech companies, manufacturers, local government and many in between. We never take our work for granted and appreciate you all and the trust you place in us to work with you and your people. Wishing you all the very best as 2019 winds down to a close and a safe, healthy and fabulous 2020! Our thoughts are with our incredible firefighters who continue to work so hard under such unrelenting conditions - thank you for everything that you all do please stay safe!

10.01.2022 Nothing kills a safe and respectful culture faster than leaders who don't 'walk the walk'. Be a great role model! Set the bar high, and stay above it...

09.01.2022 This year’s theme for World Mental Health Day is suicide prevention. We are encouraging you to prepare to take 40 seconds of action today by focusing on the following: - Raise awareness in your workplace of the significance of suicide - Educate your employees on what can be done to prevent suicide - Reduce the stigma associated with suicide - Let anyone who is struggling know that they are not alone... - If you have EAP remind people it is there if they need it - Tell your people they are appreciated, a small gesture can go a long way! Every 40 seconds a life is lost to suicide. Take 40 seconds out of your day today to do something about it and prevent suicide in your organisation.

08.01.2022 Some very important work and information on the prevalence of sexual harassment within the SDA. One statistic that surprised me was that ‘customers were the harassers in 36% of cases of workplace sexual harassment’. In 2019, this is quite frankly, crazy. #wehavetogetbetteratthis Thank you for sharing your speech and this important research Kate Jenkins.

08.01.2022 We have a fresh new decade, learn from the bad, take ahead the great. Wishing you the very best for 2020!

06.01.2022 Diversify and support your team members to bring the best out of them for your organisation.

05.01.2022 A huge thank you to all the incredible firefighters and volunteers who continue to work day and night to fight the horrific bushfires. Be safe.

01.01.2022 Transforming workplace cultures is not rocket science, but it is also not easy. James Kerr writes about leadership and excellence in his great book 'Legacy'. Like anything great, culture enhancement/transformation takes effort, dedication and thought... it is an evolution. We can't get overwhelmed (as I often say to my clients! ), we need to plan it out, keep learning and improve incremently (but certainly!).
