HR & Business Consulting Services

Taking care of the HARD DISCUSSIONS

that need to happen in the workplace

How we can help you?

Every workplace that employs people needs to have those hard discussions from time to time.

We make those HARD DISCUSSIONS easier.

  • Business Consulting

    Running a business is a tough gig. Let us work beside you and help you build a successful and sustainable business model without all the headaches. From HR to Finance to Marketing, we are here for you.

  • HR- Termination

    Terminating an employee can be tough, for the employer, the person being terminated and the remaining staff. We help you do it correctly

  • HR - Recruitment

    Recruitment is more than an ad on a job board. Employing people can make or break your company, and we are here to help you make the right decision

  • Structure & Strategy

    Every operating company includes people, and people complicate almost everything. So there is no way a group of people (called your company) can run smoothly all the time. Let us guide you through this maze.

  • Systems Processes

    The biggest hole in most companies is a lack of systems and processes that if were in place would make their job so much easier. We help you build and implement a complete set of systems and process for your organisation. 

  • Help & Support

    Problems occur at the most inconvenient times. We are there for our clients all the time, 24 x 5 (we take 2 days off a week). So when you need help, we are there for you. 

What People Say About Us

The following are from real people.

Given the confidential nature of what we do, any identifying elements have been removed to maintain confidentiality. 

Transport Company

John & Elisabeth

We have 27 people working for us and have never had to remove someone in our lives. We caught an employee stealing and needed to remove them however the emotion was too much for us. We appointed Hard Discussions and Elaine came out and handled everything for us. It was amazing and money well spent

Manufacturing Company

Nathan E - CEO/Owner

We needed to make some changes in our business but as a SME with only 55 people its was going to be hard to keep the moral going. We appointed Hard Discussions and I am so glad we did. They handled absolutely everything. The employees that departed were looked after, the current employees were looked after (the communication was amazing) and I stopped loosing sleep. We are better today then before the process.

Plastics Company

Mark - MD/Owner

We were bidding for a massive contract and we needed to provide a copy of our HR Framework. With 35 people I had never heard of a HR Framework. Our insurer put us onto Steve at Hard Discussions and within two weeks we had a complete HR Framework with everything in place. We were amazed at what we were not doing. By the way, we won the contract. 

Tech Startup

Mel - COO

I am the COO of a Tech Startup and need to get some support in building a Recruitment & Retention strategy. I was told about the guys at Hard Discussions. Steve helped us build a solid R&R policy that is working a dream. This is what business consultants should be like. Thanks guys. 

Real Estate

Julie - Priniciple

We are a Real Estate company in a regional area, so it is hard to compete for staff. Steve at Hard Discussions helped us realise that Staff Attraction was very similar to property listing and as a result we were able to grow our team by five people. Awesome service. 

Accounting Firm

Nills - Owner

You would think as an accounting firm that we would know what we are doing, but when it comes to people, we are (or were) hopeless. We have 35 people across six offices and a staff turnover rate of 40%. A client of ours told us about Hard Discussions and they solved our problem by identifying the factors contributing to our staff turnover. It has saved us thousands. Highly recommended. 

Business Services

Nikki - CEO

I had miss managed my business. I had grown too fast and my company had not kept up which was purely my fault - I had lost my way. My structure and discipline was gone. I needed help to get out of this mess. My accountant introduced me to HD and within 2 months we had solved the problem I created.
