As business owners and leaders, we are focused on the leading, growing and protecting of our business.

But without effective people practices, we can spend more time trying to protect our businesses through people risk minimisation, than our other roles.

With this in mind, in 2008, Lyndell Fogarty (CEO) and Jenny Roberts (Board of Directors) formed performHR, a team of 10 HR specialists available on tap or onsite Monday to Friday, to small to medium-sized (5 to 300) business owners. performHR supports over 70 businesses across Australia, in industries from engineering, to franchises, to community housing and aged care services.

performHR understands that all businesses are at a different stage in the HR life cycle, so we tailor our support and services to be exactly what you need. While some businesses only need a helping hand: a ‘HR overflow’ department that can provide support for projects as they come up; others need a little more help part or full-time.

Whatever you need, performHR ensures that you receive pragmatic HR solutions in a timely manner, packaged and delivered to ensure that it meets your business objectives; always balancing legal obligations and ethical aspirations.

Provide yourself with peace of mind, knowing that you can concentrate on leading and growing your business with the support of your employees.

 

OUR VALUES

performHR’s values are the guidelines for our daily actions. They form part of the ‘way we do things’, or our ‘culture’.

When we work according to them, we can be more proud of our work, and form more effective and respectful relationships with our customers and clients. It’s important to us that we think about our values at all times, and challenge ourselves when we’re not acting according to our values.

We have six key values within performHR:

Care

  • We actively listen and respond to our clients’ needs and wishes.
  • We practice and promote our ‘customer love’ strategy.
  • We contribute and participate in the community that we care about.

Continuous Learning

  • We are committed to developing ourselves, as better HR specialists and as better people.
  • We take responsibility in identifying relevant legislative changes and communicating these to our clients.
  • We strive to source the best HR solutions for our clients.
  • We are open to new ideas and approaches.
  • We take calculated risks with our clients’ best interests in mind.

Achievement

  • We begin with the end in mind.
  • We take responsibility for the results we achieve.
  • We set goals, and hold ourselves accountable to these.

Flexibility

  • We take the time to understand our clients’ business objectives, and research and provide flexible HR solutions to assist in the achievement of these.
  • We help our clients when and how they need us.
  • We do what we say we will do, when we say we will do it.
  • We respect others’ choices.

Passion
