🚨 STOP Workplace Bullying and Harassment Before It Starts🚨

Workplace bullying and harassment aren't just issues for HR to handle—as outlined the Respect at Work legislation, they’re everyone’s responsibility. 💪 Creating a team of active bystanders can make a HUGE difference in creating a safer, more respectful workplace for everyone.

🚀 Increase team performance. Hire Drivers, Not Passengers! 🚀

Are you frustrated by recruitment results that leave you with another "Passenger" on your team?

You know the type: agreeable, but content to coast. Passengers avoid responsibility, settle for the status quo, and expect the paycheck without pushing boundaries. While they may not disrupt, they certainly don't drive success. Too many Passengers can stifle both business growth and leadership potential.

Successful businesses thrive on Drivers—those with a growth mindset who are proactive, ideas-oriented, curious, and assertive. Drivers take ownership, inspire others, and are future leaders in the making. They push your business forward.

An imbalance—too many Passengers and not enough Drivers—hurts performance and undermines your business’s long-term success. It’s time to shift your focus and supercharge your talent attraction strategy by tapping into funnels of top-performing Drivers. Save thousands on recruitment fees and elevate your team to new heights.

💡 Introducing our HR Coaching Solution: Drivers, Not Passengers with expert Rhett Stubbs, a seasoned HR professional with over 27 years of experience. This powerful program will help you:
✅ Understand the key differences between Drivers and Passengers, and define Driver qualities for your industry.
✅ Shape a targeted talent attraction strategy to find Drivers in the right places.
✅ Map out your existing team to spot your Passengers and Drivers.
✅ Develop leadership skills to nurture and retain Drivers in your organization.
✅ Master selection processes to consistently hire Drivers and drive performance.

📅 Join us for (3) one-hour coaching sessions and transform your recruitment strategy.

Supercharge your business and restore a high-performing team culture. It’s time to fill your bus with Drivers, not Passengers!

👥 Book your session today and accelerate your success!

🚨Wrongful Dismissal results in a $368,000 payment to employee🚨

This case highlights the importance of having due diligence in response and undertaking a fair and just workplace investigation and decision making process when attending to complaints about serious workplace issues.

Last week a senior radiologist was awarded $368,000 after being wrongfully dismissed by I-Med Central Queensland. The company terminated him without notice in May 2022, citing bullying and sexual harassment allegations. However, the NSW Supreme Court found that while the employee's occasional rudeness may have impacted a colleague, his behaviour did not rise to the level of bullying or serious misconduct.

Last week was monumental for us at Active HR! We were thrilled to dive into professional development and networking at the Townsville Chamber of Commerce's Raising Regions conference and the Business of the Year Awards.

On Friday, Shan and I had the incredible opportunity to speak at the conference, where we tackled the hot topic of 'quiet quitting'—a trend that's impacting Australian businesses. We explored how enhancing team dynamics can drive employee engagement, fuel growth, boost productivity, and elevate customer experience. With a massive $29B pipeline of work ahead and ongoing workforce challenges, this message couldn't be more relevant for Townsville businesses.

Friday night, we swapped our business attire for something a little more glamorous and joined our friends and colleagues from across Townsville's business community to celebrate local successes at the Awards. It was a fantastic evening, full of inspiration and great company.

👉 Is "quiet quitting" harming your business?
👉 Want to reignite your team's passion for their work?

Join us this Friday at the Townsville Chamber's Raising Regions conference. Rhett will be diving into Team Dynamics and Development as part of a session on Workforce Strategies, which also includes esteemed presenters like Dr Kym Davis and Dr Lisa McDonald.

Interested!!! Today is your last day to secure tickets.

As a company that helps shape great workplaces we love to hear about success stories, so we were excited to recently receive a great client testimonial highlighting our contribution to the growth and development of the client's workforce particularly in respect to attraction, retention and employee engagement.

It was a lengthy testimonial that we'll use to support our application into the Townsville Chamber of Commerce Best Small Business of the Year Award, however we couldn't resist sharing an extract among our socials.
