Running your own HR consulting business
Running your own HR consulting business - or any business for that matter can seem like a daunting task.
But it doesn't have to be.
We have helped over 145 HR and business professionals launch their own HR consulting business using methodology that works in the Australasian market. We provide HR Coaches:
-
A Toolkit of proprietary solutions that are built off our own research into 900+ Australasian businesses to address current and future problems.
-
An intensive, 2 week training Academy where you will understand the pain points of Australasian businesses, how to provide pragmatic solutions to your clients, how to build your network, market your business and build a business plan that works for you.
-
Ongoing support via a network of Master Coaches that have been running their own successful HR consulting businesses for over 20 years.
-
Ongoing learning via monthly masterclass sessions
-
A HR Coaching Toolkit that evolves regularly to meet the needs of you and your clients
-
A network of referral partners to provide expert support for areas you don't want to focus on.
The HR Consulting Market
The Small to Medium Enterprise section (SME) is the powerhouse of the Australian economy.
According to the ABS, there are more than 2 million businesses operating in Australia that employ less than 200 employees. The sector is responsible for providing 42% of the nation's private sector employment, yet, they rarely employ HR managers as the economics of the position don't add up.
Our statistics show that the average HR consultant can service 200-400 employees for their clients, meaning a full workload for an HR consultant is only 10 - 20 clients in total. But there are 2 million businesses in this sector.
The challenge with accessing the SME market is that the majority of the decision-makers do not come from an HR background. They need pragmatic solutions, that are research-based and add to their bottom line.
Management jargon, policies and procedures and 'happy' employees just dont cut it.
HR Consulting as a Career

HR Coach, A Strong Foundation and Supportive Network
Professionals from all walks of life are drawn to the HR Coach Network to gain access to exceptional tools, methods, intellectual property, and market-leading research.
Coaching is particularly effective in Small to Medium Enterprises (SME's)and has certainly become a preferred and accepted service. Given that the typical SME has no devoted human resource function, HR Coaches have an opportunity to do great work that makes a positive impact on employees, business owners and the local community.
The HR Coach Australasia Network has over 145 members in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. The proportion of males to females is evenly split. This is a statistic we are particularly proud of when you consider that in middle to executive management, the ratio is more heavily weighted to males. The flexibility of a human resource and business coaching business has allowed mums to return to work, business professionals to recognise their real worth and most importantly, for all individuals to rediscover the enjoyment in their work!
