Ongoing part time strategic needs for an established organisation

American Technology Company, employing 14,000 staff around the world, with a staff of 60 in Australia, primarily in Sales, Administration and Distribution. Capital Knowledge forms part of their Australian management team 6-8 days a month, providing strategic HR advice on the restructure of their sales team, recruitment of sales people, managing the performance appraisal process, identifying succession plans and coordinating development plans for Managers. We work in with the Corporate HR strategies and directives from head office, attend the regular country business review meetings with the Executive team and help the local managers deal with the ever-changing people needs affecting their business.

Strategic and operational HR support for long term outcome

Professional services firm, employing 45 people, with no HR support. HR was something the Partners did in their spare time. Capital Knowledge works 2 days a week on both operational and strategic HR issues, including setting up basic HR infrastructures such as employment letters, performance appraisal system, tracking probation periods, and exit interviews. We have worked on their recruitment and retention strategy to reduce high staff turnover and terminations during the probation period due to inappropriate recruitment decisions. We are reviewing their remuneration strategy and helping them collect and compile market data to benchmark salaries and benefits to attract people within a limited supply market.

Company undergoing restructure

Australian Construction Company, merging several of their businesses, sought advice on planning and implementing their merger activities. Capital Knowledge was able to provide strategic advice and project management for a short period during the merger activities. These are just some of the examples of the ways in which Capital Knowledge has assisted its clients by providing professional HR advice and support. We can help you make informed decisions about the people strategies that impact your business success and we can help you implement them. We are only there when you need us, and we are not on your payroll.
