We help businesses improve their performance by growing the capability and capacity of their people. Our simple, effective HR solutions protect businesses by making the people stuff simple.
Your most valuable business asset is your team. And every business owner knows how destructive ‘people problems’ can be if they’re not dealt with properly.
At Total HRM we are expert ‘people problem’-solvers!
Our simple, effective HR solutions transform the businesses we work with. We make sure every business has the right person in each role, with the tools to succeed, in an environment where they can thrive.
And because we’re smoothing out the bumps and helping businesses grow, our clients discover a renewed love for what they do (and sleep well at night!).
To build better businesses by empowering their people – all their people – to thrive at work and beyond.
To enable every person, in every workplace we’ve supported, to improve themselves, their team, and their results.
These five values are behind every decision, big or small, that we make at Total HRM
We act with integrity. We give fearless advice.
We always behave legally and ethically, and we call out illegal or inappropriate behaviour if/when we see it.
The best relationships are built on respect – its a two way thing! We are honest and frank with our clients but it comes from a place of care and respect – for them and their business.
We set ourselves and our clients up for success. We offer proven, practical, simple solutions that work. We don’t fill gaps. We identify people who will excel in a role and be a perfect culture fit as well.
To be sustainable we need to keep it simple. We make the hard stuff simple by using proven processes and methodology. Our work isn’t always easy but it should be simple.
We find the joy in what we do. We enjoy what we do because we love making a difference. We start each day with a sense of purpose and end with a sense of accomplishment – and we want that for our clients too.
Consider us your ‘people problem’ solvers!
We can provide straightforward guidance, proven advice and hands-on HR support when you need it.
It starts with putting a solid,
