Managing a large portfolio of clients across private and public sectors, I have a range of clients from large corporate accounts, to hyper-growth SaaS product companies, to small Kiwi start-ups and everything in between.

On first joining Beyond Recruitment, I was a Client Manager in the Call Centre and Customer Services team. After a few months, due to my passion for technology, I moved into the Technology & Transformation Team.

Upon completing my six month assignment to the MyPolice Project in Wellington as a SME, I have returned to my substantive HR team in Auckland.My role includes continuing day to day transactional and low level advisory roles, as well as training new HR Assistants in the broad range of HR services that we provide.I am focusing on preparing both the HR team as well as wider stakeholders for the change from Peoplesoft to MyPolice. This includes gradually morphing processes to be more compatible with the new world, so that the change is more manageable. It also includes improving business readiness by ensuring the mentality towards the impending change is positive. This is being achieved through reinforcement of the benefits, as well as minimizing fear of change through education and awareness.

The New Zealand Police are currently in the process of replacing their human resource information management, learning management, and rostering systems, with a solution called MyPolice. Mypolice incorporates SAP, SuccessFactors and Kronos to provide a modern and effective solution for managing, paying and deploying all 12,500 employees.During my six month assignment to MyPolice Project, my role was as a Subject Matter Expert (SME). I was responsible for representing HR Support Services for Upper North (Palmerston North and above), and ensuring the solution incorporated all requirements of my districts.Over this time I have gained skills and knowledge of what a major change within a large organisation involves, including business and operational readiness, and fundamental requirements of a new software solution.

I worked as part of a wider HR team during a transitional period within the NZ Police, formulating and implementing processes to ensure efficiency and accuracy of a recently centralised HR Service Centre. Day to day activities included a high volume of transactional tasks, as well as a low level advisory service to employees on the full range of HR matters.With a large, multi-faceted organisation such as the NZ Police, detailed knowledge of all HR policies was necessary in order to meet the needs of over five thousand employees. Also necessary was the ability to manage an extremely high workload through time management, team organisation, and problem solving skills.

As a branch manager, I was responsible for the branch meeting sales targets and KPI's. My role included hiring and training of staff, sustainable and effective running of store, and managing my team effectively.Hiring and training staff involved interviewing candidates for multiple positions, and choosing the best person for each role, based on both areas of expertise and behavioural traits. I was responsible for the employment contracts, as well as the induction and ongoing training of staff in both sales and daily tasks needed for running a sustainably profitable store.Daily running of the store including processing stock, visual merchandising and setting grooming standards. It also involved carefully tracking sales and KPI's, by producing weekly manager's reports details these stats.Ensuring that my team was effective meant managing multiple personalities appropriately. To train each member effectively and solve conflicts between staff as well between staff and the organisation was important for maintaining a happy team that were eager to do their best.One branch that I was responsible for was a newly opened store. Setting the team culture, learning the new clientele, and pushing to set our own targets, resulted in a huge growth of my transferrable management skills, all of which have been valuable in more recent roles.
