Our HR Services
Outsourced HR Team
Our HR Plan option is ideal for rapidly scaling businesses that want confidence in how to structure their team for growth, help with meeting their Fair Work compliance obligations and guidance on how to systemize the process and humanize the experience for both leaders and employees. We partner you with two of our HR Team members who offer different areas of expertise from HR Admin all the way through to HR Strategy and everything in between. Our HR Plans are drafted for a six or twelve month term and are paid by the month. We plan out your people vision and agree on key outcomes and milestones aligned to your overall goals, then we get to work doing the doing! Just think about all the time you’ll save which will free you up to refocus on the other high value activities of running a business.
Pay Per Service
We offer a pay-as-you-go service for some clients. This allows you to pay for ad hoc work as and when you need it, without the need for constant monitoring and management from an account manager. We are here to do the job to a high standard, so if there are any issues or questions along the way we will be happy to help.
HR Project Team
For organisations that need extra HR resources to complete specific, sensitive or time-intensive people & culture projects. e.g. wage review, policy review, engagement/wellbeing surveys, personality profiling, position description reviews etc.
So the next time you’re contemplating hiring another internal HR resource, consider the more flexible and cost-effective option of having our team of HR experts getting it done for you.

TESTIMONIALS
Our Happy Clients
Working with Purple Playground was absolutely pivotal and the best thing we could have done for our business. We were snowed under internally and were lacking compliance, and knew we needed help without needing a full time internal HR staff. Purple Playground were awesome to work with, they mapped out exactly what we were lacking within the business and filled all our gaps seamlessly. They really helped to bring our compliance up-to-date, and even more importantly brought together our team through workshops and catchups. Our whole team absolutely grew to love Sally, Jemma, and everyone at PP as one of our own…we don’t know how we ever survived without them!

HR FAQS
Everything you want to know
Can you support our business remotely?
Absolutely! This is the way we work 90% of the time. We have clients based all around Australia, and what makes it so seamless is having access to a quality Human Resource Information System (HRIS) like our fav, Employment Hero.
I’m having problems with a staff member. Can you help me?
We sure can. We’ll work with you and your employee to uncover the underlying concerns and create a solution that ultimately achieves the best possible outcome for all.
What level of support can you offer my business?
We offer the same level of support as an internal HR team. We do this by providing our clients access to an experienced HR Manager and a HR Consultant, backed by a complete team of HR professionals. We cover everything from HR Strategy and building leadership capability to generalist HR support spanning across all areas of the employee lifecycle.
How much do HR services cost?
We’re all about being proactive, mitigating your employer-related risks and driving a positive people and culture agenda. We may operate via an outsourced model but we are thought of as your very own HR Team. That’s why our Premium Services are not for everyone. We all know the saying ‘you get what you pay for,’ so unlike traditional HR Consultants, we work with a proactive mindset and partner with you for a minimum term to really get some traction and make a difference.
Don’t worry, it’s more affordable than you think! With the skills and expertise of a whole experienced team, you get a great return on investment.
I just want help with one thing. Can you help me on an ad-hoc basis?
We add the most value when we get to know your business and team culture over time. But we also hate saying no to business leaders in need, so let’s have a chat to see what you’re after and explore ways we can help.
