I've spent 25 years in HR, most of it leading people and culture teams in financial services, including a decade as Head of HR and a period as Acting Chief Human Resources Officer. These days my work is about how people adapt to change, and AI is the biggest change most workplaces are facing. I started employmentBENEFITS to do the parts of the work I'm best at: designing and delivering leadership training, facilitating, and coaching leaders and teams through AI adoption. HR projects too, when they need a senior hand.
Plain language. Early honesty, including the things you'd rather not hear. No padding, no account managers, no junior doing the work under my name. I'd rather do fewer things well.
Background: Master of Human Resource Management and Graduate Diploma of Human Resource Management, Charles Sturt University. Bachelor of Commerce (Human Resources and Industrial Relations), University of Western Sydney. Certificate IV in Workplace Training and Assessment, UTS. Keeping abreast of the latest AI tools and technologies. Consulting since 2023 across government, financial services and the private sector.
The name makes a quiet point: as AI changes what work looks like, employment itself is a benefit worth protecting.
