We believe that developing and supporting all people, including family members and employees, is essential for your business.
Our services focus on two integrated pillars – culture and operations. Culture underpins a productive and happy workplace with a focus on communication, productivity and personal growth. Operations are the requirements of employing people such as safety, recruitment and induction. Our team understands the relationship between the two pillars and provides a practical, independent and reliable service which aims to improve team productivity and workplace satisfaction.

Succession Planning
Developing a positive succession outcome for your family and business
We work with family businesses seeking the first step in succession to encourage communication and help develop succession outcomes. We have a succession planning process that supports you through the steps, which is like having an advocate by your side through an often challenging time.
We can provide you with an independent perspective and a process to enable the succession plan to progress, as well as ongoing support to ensure your succession planning doesn’t stall. So, why don’t you let us help you and your family prepare for succession?


HR Contract
Providing an independent, professional and proactive employee engagement process
For farming businesses who want to formalise their employment arrangements, this service provides you with documentation to support your new or existing employees. At the end of the service, you will have the following documents for each role in your business:
- Job description
- Letter of offer
- Agreement
- Individual flexibility agreement (if required)
- Annualised wage agreement (if required)
- Time off in lieu agreement (if required)
These documents can be developed for all staff, including family and non-family labour.
