Meet the Team: Rebecca O’Connell

Meet the Team
Total HRM team in August 2023. From L-R Amelie, Dave, Alison, Felicity, Kim, Linda, Rebecca, Sarah, Ashly and Caitlin.
We would like to introduce you to Rebecca O’Connell – our competitive and fun Operations Manager. Beck joined the team recently and has taken on various responsibilities, wearing many hats and getting straight down to business.

Beck’s HR journey started in a bit of a different way – as many of our careers tend to do. She worked as a People & Culture leader, managing people and making sure things ran smoothly, and as time went on, she found herself gravitating towards HR tasks more and more. She became an HR Business Partner at Albury City Council and was involved in the nitty-gritty of how HR works. She’s done everything from hiring the right people to keeping everything moving.

Beck is now part of the Total HRM team bringing her A-grade game to the operations side. That means she’s juggling a lot of stuff, from managing schedules and setting up interviews, creating proposals, and hosting breakfasts to ensuring everything runs like clockwork. And she’s doing it all with a big smile and a can-do attitude.

Beyond the office, Beck’s passion for sports is hard to miss. You’ll find her on the netball court every weekend and watching more sports afterwards. Beck loves staying active and competitive – part of what makes her tick. Growing up, she would’ve loved to have played netball for Australia, but she is happy playing in Yackandandah.


Beck has been in the Albury/Wodonga region since she was a kid, with a short stint moving away to the city before returning in 2008. Beck loves everything about our region, especially as she raises her family here. Her favourite thing to do on the weekend is watching her kids play sports. She reasons that now that they’re older, watching and seeing them improve is what she loves. They’re not just a swarm of bees chasing a ball anymore!
You can usually find Beck around the weir with her family, at the local sports grounds, or at the pub watching the afternoon games with everyone. Did we mention she likes sport? Beck would love to get to Canada and explore the mountain regions, especially in the spring when you can hike and see the amazing views. She will also catch a couple of NBA and NHL games while she’s there.


Her willingness to tackle challenges head-on and make difficult decisions aligns with her philosophy of doing what’s right, not just what’s easy. It’s a philosophy that guides her, whether making tough decisions or facing hurdles head-on – which seamlessly fits in with our Total HRM approach.
Beck is a real asset to the team. Her diverse background, operational skills, and dedication to growth make her a standout in HR. We love having Beck’s energy in the office and her ability to keep us in line and move forward with a big smile.

You will see Beck around the office and at our events, so please introduce yourself if you bump into her. Beck is likely to be one of your first points of contact with Total HRM, so there’s no doubt all of you will speak to her soon!
