### From HR Firefighting to People Strategy: A Smarter Way to Grow Your Business

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]What happens when your business grows faster than your people foundations?

For many SME founders and leaders, HR starts as something you’ll “deal with later”. Not because you don’t care, but because you’re busy building, selling, hiring and delivering.

The problem? “Later” quietly becomes expensive. It shows up as:

 	Time spent second-guessing people decisions
 	Inconsistent processes
 	Awkward performance conversations avoided
 	Employees unclear on expectations or growth
 	Good people leaving because no one was recognising their efforts

At Purple Playground, we believe HR should give you more capacity, not more admin. We systemise the process and humanise the experience, helping you move from constant firefighting to a simple, proactive people strategy that supports sustainable growth.

Ask yourself:  "What are human resource management strategies for if not a way to reclaim your freedom as a leader?"

Let's look at what that shift really involves.
The Hidden Cost of "Dealing With It Later”
When HR is mostly reactive, the cost isn’t always obvious, but it’s constant.

 	Founders and leaders spend hours each week thinking about people issues instead of the business
 	Managers feel unsure how to handle performance or difficult conversations
 	Roles and responsibilities blur as the business grows
 	Compliance gaps are only addressed once something goes wrong

Over time, this leads to slower growth, higher turnover, increased risk, and a lot of unnecessary stress.

A proactive people strategy doesn’t remove every challenge. But it dramatically reduces the number of fires and gives you clearer, more confident decision-making.
Systemise The Process. Humanise The Experience.
Proactive HR isn’t about more policies or corporate complexity.

It’s about building simple, intentional foundations, brick by brick, that make it easier for people to do good work.

For one of our clients in the eco-wellness space, this started with clarifying roles, improving onboarding, and implementing a Human Resources Information System (HRIS) to create a single source of truth for employee records, payroll and key processes.

By reducing admin and removing guesswork, the leadership team could focus more on supporting their people and less on chasing paperwork. The result was better hiring decisions for specialised roles and smoother onboarding while keeping their tight-knit company culture intact.

Tools don’t replace strategy. But the right tools make a good strategy easier to execute.
From Compliance To Strategy: Our 5 P’s Framework
At Purple Playground, we use a simple 5 P’s framework to help with the people strategy for small businesses that is practical, scalable and aligned to commercial goals:

 	People – People are more than their measurable skills. Value emotional intelligence, culture-add, and behavioural competencies. Celebrate the diversity of thought and experience each individual brings to your team.
 	Purpose – Purpose isn’t just feel-good messaging. Aligning employees’ and the organisation’s purpose boosts engagement, sparks discretionary effort, and drives stronger business outcomes.
 	Performance – Harness the intrinsic motivation of a purpose-led team. Use Objective Key Results (OKRs) to link company, team, and personal goals to measurable results, creating a high-performance culture.
 	Profit – With the right people, aligned purpose, and heightened discretionary effort, you’ll enjoy lower productivity costs and increased profits.
 	Positive Impact – Lead with purpose. Make decisions that go beyond profit to create meaningful change, leaving a lasting personal and business legacy.

Compliance underpins all five. It’s essential. But it’s the baseline, not the destination.
Proactive HR = Fewer Fires and Better Decisions
Staying legal keeps you in business. A people strategy helps you grow it.

When your foundations are solid:

 	Leaders feel more confident
 	Teams know what’s expected
 	Issues are addressed earlier
 	Growth becomes more predictable

We work as an extension of your team, helping you reduce risk, remove friction and build people systems that support where your business is heading - whether that’s steady growth, scaling or preparing for an eventual exit.
Start Small. Compound Often.

 	You don’t need to overhaul everything at once.

Start with a few practical questions:

 	Are your key roles aligned to where the business is going?
 	Do your people understand what success looks like?
 	Are your systems supporting your team or slowing them down?

Strategic HR with small, intentional improvements creates compounding value over time.

Your First Move: Tell us the one "HR management fire" currently keeping you up at night, and if you’re interested, we’ll provide guidance to turn that stress into a proactive HR solution that supports you and your business.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

### How Purple Playground Operates Differently as a B Corp and Why Purpose-Driven HR Helps SMEs Thrive

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Choosing a B Corp HR partner like Purple Playground means working with a team that links purpose directly to everyday people decisions. This blog post explores how purpose-driven HR supports small businesses by aligning governance, compliance and people practices with the realities of running an SME. We unpack the benefits of a B Corp vs traditional business approach and explain how ethical, values-led HR helps SMEs reduce risk, build stronger teams and grow sustainably, without adding extra complexity.

With 2026 underway, many Australian business owners are returning from the summer break determined to do things better this year, not just busier. For many, that reflection starts with people and HR questions like:

 	Are our people practices actually helping us grow?
 	Are we doing the right thing - legally and ethically - or just getting by?
 	How can we effectively support our team without adding more complexity?

At Purple Playground, these are exactly the questions we help SMEs answer every day. As a certified B Corp, purpose-driven HR isn’t a slogan for us - it’s the lens we use to guide decisions, manage risk and support sustainable growth.
What Being a B Corp Really Means (and Why it Matters for SMEs)
Becoming a B Corp isn’t just about meeting a standard or earning a badge.

During our initial certification and recertification, the B Impact Assessment (BIA) prompted us to examine how our values are actually reflected in practice, particularly through people and governance decisions. It quickly became clear that HR isn’t separate from purpose. It’s one of the most visible ways purpose is lived every day.

As a B Corp, we are required to consider the impact of our decisions on all stakeholders, including employees, clients, community and the environment and not just financial outcomes. This stakeholder governance approach is what makes the B Corp model so relevant for SMEs.

Why? Because small business owners are already making these decisions - often without a clear framework or support - and the consequences land directly on their people and their business.

Purpose-driven HR provides clarity in those moments.
How Purple Playground Operates Differently
Our B Corp journey reinforced something we already believed: strong HR foundations are proof of purpose in action, not just good intentions.

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all framework, our SME HR strategy focuses on linking practical HR support back to the five core impact areas measured in the B Impact Assessment:
Governance
We help businesses put clear, ethical decision-making structures in place. This includes compliant employment contracts, clear policies and well-defined accountabilities that protect both the business and its people, which reduces risk and uncertainty.
Workers
People-first isn’t a feeling; it’s demonstrated through fair pay, safe workplaces, clarity and development. We support:

 	Structured wage and salary reviews to promote pay equity and financial security.
 	Clear position descriptions that support performance, development and engagement.
 	HR advice that helps leaders manage issues early, fairly and confidently.

Community
Ethical employment practices have a ripple effect beyond your team. Transparent, value-based recruitment and selection processes help SMEs build inclusive workplaces and contribute positively to their wider community.
Customers
When HR foundations are strong, teams are more engaged, consistent and aligned, which directly impacts customer experience. Purpose-driven HR helps ensure the way you treat your people supports the reputation you want to build externally.
Environment
While HR isn’t the only lever here, governance, policies and ways of working all influence environmental impact: from flexible work practices to responsible operational decisions.

In short, our role isn’t just to “set things up”, but to help SME leaders make people decisions they can stand behind, even when situations are complex or uncomfortable.
Why Purpose-Driven HR Helps SMEs Thrive
For small and growing businesses, HR decisions often sit in grey areas. Purpose-driven HR provides a steady reference point.

In practice, this means:

Less turnover and hiring fatigue:

Clear expectations, fair pay and consistent people practices reduce the “revolving door” costs, ultimately saving time, money and energy.

Attracting people who align with your values:

Purpose-led businesses tend to attract candidates who care about how work is done, not just what they’re paid. This alignment matters, especially in small teams.

Reduce compliance risks (and fewer sleepless nights):

Strong HR foundations don’t eliminate risk entirely, but they significantly reduce it and give business owners confidence they’re doing the right thing.

A team that grows with the business:

When people understand the “why” behind decisions and feel supported, they’re more likely to adapt, contribute ideas and stay engaged through change.

Purpose-driven HR isn’t about perfection. It’s about making thoughtful, consistent decisions that support both people and business sustainability.

Practical Next Steps for SME Leaders

If HR feels heavy or reactive right now, a reset doesn’t need to be overwhelming. A few focused steps can make a meaningful difference:

 	Review your foundations

Do your contracts, policies and role clarity reflect how you actually operate or are they generic documents no one uses?

 	Check alignment, not just compliance

Are your people practices consistent with your values, or do they create confusion when issues arise?

 	Embed HR into daily leadership

HR works best when it supports real conversations, not just paperwork.

 	Get support when you need it

Having an HR partner means you don’t have to navigate complex decisions alone.

You Don’t Have to Do HR by Yourself

At Purple Playground, our B Corp commitment shapes how we show up for SMEs: with practical support, ethical guidance and a genuine focus on people and governance.

Whether through our HR Membership or bespoke HR services support, we help business owners build HR foundations they can rely on. So purpose isn’t just something you talk about, but something your people experience every day.

### What HR Policies Are Essential For Australian SMEs — And The Risks Of Getting It Wrong

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]HR policies aren’t just paperwork - they set the standards that protect your business, guide decision-making and shape workplace culture. This article outlines the essential HR policies Australian SMEs need, the risks of unclear or outdated documents, and how to build a practical, compliant foundation that supports both people and performance.
For many Australian SMEs, HR policies are something you know you should have, but aren’t always confident you’ve got right.
Documents may exist. Templates may have been downloaded. But when policies are unclear, outdated or inconsistent, they don’t provide the clarity or protection businesses expect. In fact, they can create more risk than having nothing at all.
In 2026, HR policies are no longer “nice to have”. They are a core part of how you manage risk, set expectations and create a fair, functional workplace.
So what HR policies are actually essential for Australian SMEs and what’s at stake if you get them wrong?
What HR Policies Really Are (And What They’re Not)
HR policies outline the standards, expectations and behavioural guidelines that shape how your business operates. They define what to expect, not the step-by-step instructions of how to do things.
Put simply:

 	Policies set the rules of the game
 	Procedures explain how the game is played

When policies are clear and consistently applied, employees understand expectations, leaders make confident decisions, and your workplace operates more smoothly and fairly.
Why HR Policies Matter More Than Ever for SMEs
Getting the basics right now saves time, avoids compliance risks and builds confidence as your business grows.
Strong HR policies:

 	Create clarity and consistency
 	Protect your business and your people
 	Support fair decision-making
 	Provide a foundation for a healthy workplace culture

Weak or missing policies, on the other hand, leave your business exposed, especially as legislative expectations continue to increase.
The Essential HR Policies Australian SMEs Can’t Ignore
You don’t need dozens of HR policies to start. You do need the right foundations.
Code of Conduct
This is your baseline. It sets expectations around behaviour, professionalism and decision-making. When issues arise, this policy anchors fairness and consistency.
Anti-Discrimination, Bullying and Harassment
If you operate a business in Australia (no matter the size), you have a legal obligation to proactively prevent discrimination, harassment and hostile workplaces - not just respond when something goes wrong.
This isn’t just about compliance or ticking a box. It’s about creating workplaces that are safe, respectful and inclusive for everyone.
Workplace Health & Safety (Including Psychosocial Risk)
WHS obligations now extend beyond physical safety. Stress, burnout, inappropriate behaviour and workplace conflict are recognised psychosocial hazards that must be identified and managed.
Leave, Flexible Work & Grievance Management
Clear policies here reduce frustration, prevent inconsistency and give employees safe pathways to raise concerns before issues escalate.
Sexual Harassment Prevention Plan
Employers have a legal obligation to actively prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. A clear Sexual Harassment Prevention policy sets behavioural expectations, defines what constitutes sexual harassment, and outlines reporting, support and response processes. It demonstrates that your business is taking proactive, reasonable steps to maintain a safe and respectful workplace.
For a complete list of HR policies that we recommend all employers have in place to mitigate their Fair Work risk, check out our HR Policy listing here.
The Real Risks of Getting HR Policies Wrong
When we talk about risk, it’s not just about fines or Fair Work claims. The bigger risks for SMEs are:

 	Inconsistent decision-making by leaders
 	Confusion around expectations
 	Disengagement and loss of trust
 	Cultural drift
 	Losing good people because issues weren’t handled fairly

Policies that exist but aren’t understood, communicated or applied consistently create gaps. And culture fills those gaps, often in ways you didn’t intend.
A Practical Way Forward
If HR Policies feel overwhelming, focus on progress, not perfection.
Start by:

 	Identifying gaps or outdated documents
 	Ensuring policies reflect how your business actually operates
 	Consulting with your team and explaining the “why”
 	Storing policies centrally so they’re accessible and consistently applied

As your business grows, policies should evolve with it so they’re becoming more aligned, more consistent and more embedded into day-to-day decision-making.
How We Support Australian SMEs
At Purple Playground, we see HR policies as practical tools (not just paperwork).
Through our HR services, we help SMEs:

 	Put the right HR foundations in place
 	Stay aligned with changing legislation
 	Build confidence in how policies are communicated and applied

So you’re not second-guessing decisions when issues arise. You’re supported by clarity and structure.
Need help reviewing or strengthening your HR policies? Whether it’s through our HR Membership or a conversation, we’re here to help you build a compliant, confident and people-first workplace without having to go it alone.
FAQS
Q: Is a signed policy enough to satisfy Fair Work requirements?
A: No. A signed policy alone doesn’t meet expectations. Fair Work looks for evidence that employees and leaders understand and follow your policies in practice, which means regular communication, training and reinforcement.
Q: Why shouldn’t I rely on genericHR templates?
A: Generic templates don’t reflect your business needs, culture or day-to-day realities. Tailored policies build trust, guide decisions consistently, and ensure employees know exactly what’s expected in your workplace.
Q: What is a Sexual Harassment Prevention Plan?
A: It is a proactive framework that sets out how your business prevents, reports and resolves sexual harassment. While mandatory in some states (e.g. QLD, VIC, NT), having one helps all businesses create a safe, respectful workplace and meet their legal obligations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

### Benefits Of Outsourcing HR Vs Hiring Internally In Australia

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]You didn’t build your business so you could spend your days deciphering Fair Work Awards and second-guessing HR decisions. Yet for many growing businesses, HR quietly becomes something you manage by default.

The question isn’t just whether to hire internally. It’s whether you can justify the remuneration, on-costs, time and risk of bringing one person in-house before there’s enough scale to truly support them.

This is where the choice between outsourcing HR and hiring internally comes into focus for small and medium-sized Australian businesses. Many leaders wonder why they should outsource HR at all when an in-house HR role sounds simpler.

The truth is, for growing businesses, outsourced HR can reduce risk, meet Fair Work obligations and lift performance without adding a permanent headcount.

We’ll break down the differences, highlight the benefits of HR outsourcing vs in-house HR and show how strategic HR support helps you plan with confidence.
The Cost and Capability Equation
An internal HR hire adds salary, on-costs and overheads:

 	Salary
 	Super
 	Payroll Tax
 	Workers Compensation
 	Bonuses/salary reviews
 	Onboarding
 	Software subscriptions
 	Leave accruals (annual, personal, parental, long service)
 	Cover when they take leave

When you outsource HR, you only pay for what you need:

 	The right level of compliance support
 	Strategic advice when it matters
 	Hands-on support when things get complex
 	Employee relations advice and guidance
 	Recruitment, hiring and onboarding rhythm
 	Proactive policy updates and legislatively compliant documentation
 	Leadership coaching and capability support in real time

When you outsource HR the right way, you only pay for what you need:
Access to experienced HR professionals who understand your business, operate as part of your team, and step in at the right level at the right time, which for small to mid-sized businesses provides a fraction of the fixed costs of an internal HR generalist, with the added benefit of senior-level expertise.

The upside isn’t only dollars; it’s breadth. Outsourcing gives you access to a team of knowledgeable HR consultants who can support you across a variety of HR tasks, including compliance, employee retention, org design, talent and culture.
Australian HR Compliance and Risk You Can’t Ignore
Australian employment law moves quickly. Getting it wrong can cost you thousands in fines, backpay and/or lost time. We take the pressure off by turning complex requirements, like the ever-changing Fair Work legislation, into simple, manageable actions that you or your leaders can actually follow.

For example, employers must manage psychosocial risks such as:

 	Excessive workload
 	Conflict
 	Poor role clarity

And managing that requires:

 	The right policies
 	Practical training
 	Consistent follow-through

…not just posters on the wall.

Authoritative guidance sits with the Fair Work Ombudsman and Safe Work Australia. We create fit-for-purpose HR documentation bespoke to your unique business and align your day-to-day practices to those expectations so leaders can make decisions with confidence.
Speed, Scale and Continuity
Growth brings surges: new sites, restructures, increased headcount, seasonal hiring or a sudden lift in employee relation issues. A single internal HR generalist can struggle to keep up when the volume spikes. Outsourcing lets you scale on demand, without pulling you or your managers away from day-to-day work, customers or operations.

Continuity matters too. If an internal HR hire resigns, knowledge walks out the door with them. A team-based outsourcing model protects your momentum with shared context, documented processes and service levels that don’t rely on one person.
Culture, Engagement and Performance
Great HR is more than policies and contracts.  It’s clarity, coaching rhythms and helping leaders handle the tricky conversations.

We support managers to:

 	Set clear expectations
 	Build practical, proactive performance processes
 	Improve role clarity so people know how to succeed

This blend of human support and simple systems is where outsourced HR shines. You get the cadence and someone beside you to help build confidence.  At Purple Playground HR, we call it ‘Systemising the process, Humanising the experience’
When Does In-House HR Make Sense?
There’s a point where bringing HR in-house is the right move. For example, if you have 250+ employees, operate in a high-risk environment or operate in complex enterprise bargaining or union environments.

But even then, many businesses co-source. They’ll keep strategic and/or administrative HR internal and partner on specialist projects, like workforce planning, recruitment, engagement diagnostics or compliance reviews.
Use This Checklist To Decide:

 	Headcount and growth rate: Steady or surging?
 	Complexity: Multiple Awards, shift patterns, operating across multiple states (like Qld, NSW and Victoria) or union involvement.
 	Risk exposure: Safety, psychosocial hazards and high employee relations load.
 	Leadership expertise and bandwidth: Do managers need hands-on coaching?
 	Budget flexibility: Fixed internal costs vs variable outsourced spend.
 	Tooling: Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) maturity and reporting needs.

Where Does Purple Playground Fit?
We partner with small and medium-sized businesses to set a clear people plan, deliver proactive day-to-day HR support and build leadership capability. We simplify compliance by aligning your practices to the National Employment Standards so you can focus on customers, growth and what you do best, without drowning in the jargon and paperwork.

For Australian teams weighing the benefits of outsourcing HR vs hiring internally, we map costs, risk and workload side-by-side so you can choose the right fit for your stage of growth.
Still Deciding?
If you’re comparing HR outsourcing vs in-house HR, remember the trade-offs:

 	Outsourcing: variable cost, broader expertise, no single point of failure
 	In-house: closer day-to-day proximity, single expertise, higher fixed cost
 	Co-sourced: the best of both when you’re ready, depending on your needs

The “right” model depends on your headcount, complexity and growth tempo. Our HR consultancy services make strategic HR planning and workforce management solutions practical, not theoretical.

FAQs About Easier HR
Q: What are the benefits of outsourcing HR vs hiring internally in Australia?
A: Outsourcing gives you lower fixed costs, access to broader, senior expertise, the ability to scale faster during busy periods, and stronger proactive compliance with Australian Fair Work legislation and the National Employment Standards.
Q: Why should I outsource HR if I already have a capable office manager?
A: An office manager is helpful, but they rarely have the depth and specialist knowledge needed for complex issues. Outsourcing provides expertise in high-risk areas, like Award interpretation, performance management, and managing psychosocial obligations – things that require specialist handling to protect your business.
Q: How do HR consultancy services support strategic HR planning?
A: We tie your people's plan directly to your business goals. This means we help you build a consistent delivery process (like performance reviews or a clear hiring and onboarding rhythm) and track risk and compliance so that you can focus your energy on business growth.
Q: Is HR outsourcing vs in-house HR an all-or-nothing choice?
A: No, many Australian businesses successfully co-source. For example, your internal team focuses on strategy and day-to-day culture, while an external partner delivers specialist projects, handles tricky employee issues, stays across the legislative changes or surges capacity during periods of rapid growth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_raw_html css=""]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

### End-of-Year HR Reset: A Calm, Clear Way to Start 2026 With Confidence

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]A practical, end-of-year HR reset for small and medium-sized businesses:

 	Run quick compliance health checks
 	Have future-focused conversations with your team
 	Take a 10-minute pulse on company culture
 	Use a simple checklist to finish the year prepared and supported

December naturally invites reflection for many small and medium-sized businesses. It’s a chance to acknowledge the year, tidy up a few loose ends, and set your team up with clarity before everyone switches off for a well-earned break.

This end-of-year reset is not about more admin, pressure, or perfect processes. It’s about small, thoughtful actions that help you enter 2026 feeling organised, compliant and connected with your people.

Below is a simple, people-first approach you can complete even in the busiest of seasons.
1. Quick Compliance Clarity (A Light Check-In Before You Switch Off)
If you want to avoid surprises in January, a short compliance review now can save time and confusion later. These checks are practical, not overwhelming, and they give you confidence that everything is aligned for the new year.

Here’s what to look at:

 	Review Award or Enterprise Agreement Rates: Double-check current pay rates, loadings, allowances, and penalty rates are up to date and reflective of the latest Award and Enterprise Agreement updates, including any sector-specific adjustments that may apply to your business. Tip: Although the Annual Wage Review decision is typically announced in July, double-checking your setup now will make next year’s budgeting smoother.
 	Check superannuation guarantee settings: The  Superannuation Guarantee has risen to 12% as of 1 July 2025. Confirm your payroll software is already set up (most providers have this automated).
 	Update Flexible Work Policy: Making sure your policy is clear and accessible supports both compliance and employee retention.
 	Review Annual Leave Balances: Annual leave accruals can become a big expense to the business, so know your rights and obligations before directing employees to use their paid annual leave.
 	Action: Do a 30-minute scan yourself or forward this list to your bookkeeper/payroll provider. The aim is clarity, not complexity.

2. Turn Year-End Reviews Into Future-Focused Conversations
You don’t need formal performance reviews to check in meaningfully with your team. Short, future-focused conversations (20-30 minutes) help people feel seen and supported. And they give you valuable insights heading into 2026.

Here are three questions that work beautifully for small teams:

 	“What is something you are really proud of this year?” (Celebrates wins and boosts confidence)
 	“What would help you do your best work in 2026?” (Highlights resourcing or process gaps)
 	“Where do you see yourself growing with us over the next 12 – 24 months?” (Opens up genuine discussion about development and career goals)

These conversations build trust, strengthen connection, and give you early visibility into support needs without creating a heavy, formal review process
3. A 10-Minute Culture Temperature Check
Before everyone heads off for the holidays, a quick anonymous pulse check can give you powerful insight for your 2026 planning.

A simple three-question survey works best:

 	On a scale of 1–10, how likely are you to recommend us as a great place to work?
 	What is one thing we should start, stop, or keep doing in 2026?
 	Anything else on your mind?

Look for patterns (recurring themes, small suggestions, or signs of what’s working). Sharing a few insights or “we heard you” actions at the team lunch or end-of-year wrap-up shows your people their feedback has weight and value.

Your December HR Reset Checklist

 	Light payroll compliance check (rates, super etc.)
 	20–30 min check-in conversations with team members
 	Send a quick anonymous culture survey
 	Celebrate the year properly with a lunch, early finish, or both

Even completing just a few of these actions helps you start 2026 feeling prepared, calm and confident with a team that feels recognised and supported.

Need a hand with any of this?

Whether it’s through our HR Membership or a one-off chat with us, we can provide practical HR tools and guidance whenever you need it, so you’re never doing this alone.

When do the new pay rates actually start in 2026?Most Modern Award increases apply from the first full pay period starting on or after 1st July each year.  Always double-check your business or industry-specific Award to confirm the exact start date.

Do I really have to do performance reviews if my team is small?Formal reviews aren’t mandatory. But a short, future-focused conversation is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to improve performance and keep good people engaged.

### Remote & Hybrid Work: What Actually Works for Small Teams

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Does managing a flexible team feel like more admin work than it’s worth? You’re not alone. For many small business owners in Australia, keeping up with remote work trends feels like constantly chasing the latest ideas instead of doing what works for your employees and your business.

Here’s the good news. Flexibility is your advantage. The average Australian employee would take up to an 8% pay cut for better working conditions, proving that flexibility is real currency!

You don’t need bigger budgets or fancy systems. You just need a simple, fair framework built on trust and one that keeps culture alive, whilst not burying you in admin.
1. Protecting Your Team’s Right to Disconnect
Australian workplace law is shifting alongside remote work trends. Since 26 August 2025, the 'Right to Disconnect' applies to all businesses, including small businesses with fewer than 15 employees. This isn’t just a compliance issue – it’s a culture shift. One that can support better workplace wellbeing, clearer communication and a more sustainable way of working.

 	Create a clear policy that explains when out-of-hours contact is acceptable.
 	Avoid the 'always available' myth. Set expectations for leaders. No late-night emails or weekend texts unless it’s urgent and reasonable.
 	Use this change proactively. It shows your team you value their wellbeing and time off, and you trust them to deliver during working hours.

2. Stop Watching the Clock, Measure Outcomes Instead
The quickest way to lose trust in a hybrid team is to confuse “being online” with “doing the work”.  Otherwise known as output v outcomes…always strive for an outcomes approach.

For small teams, hybrid work is a chance to build a results-focused culture where people are trusted to deliver key outcomes (not just clock up a certain number of hours).

Here’s how to make this shift:

 	Set clear outcomes or OKRs (Objectives and Key Results).
 	Focus on deliverables, not hours logged or online dots on Slack.
 	Schedule and keep a regular check-in rhythm to remove roadblocks – not to monitor tasks. Measure what actually matters to the business: customer outcomes, deadlines met, and projects delivered.

3. Use Simple Tech to Cut Admin, Not Create More
Tracking locations, work hours and communication preferences across different platforms is where hybrid work becomes overwhelming. The right tools make this easier.

 	Centralise your timesheets, leave requests and employee details using a reliable Human Resource Information System (HRIS).  We recommend Employment Hero or other Australian-based HRIS.
 	Automate what you can – payroll data, leave balances, approvals etc to save hours each pay cycle.
 	Choose tools that promote visibility, not surveillance. Simple tools that show status or availability, integrated with the platforms your team already uses (like Slack or Teams), go a long way.
 	Address the disconnection issue directly. 75% of Australian organisations say a lack of connection is their biggest hybrid challenge. Use simple chat apps and regular virtual video check-ins to keep connections more personal and company culture alive.

4. Make Office Days Really Count
If you’re asking people to come into the office, make it worth it.

Hybrid workplaces thrive when in-person time is deliberate and meaningful.

Prioritise office days for:

 	Strategy sessions, planning or brainstorming
 	Workshops or collaborative projects
 	Cross-Team conversations and problem-solving
 	Social catch-ups and team building

Leave focused, individual work for remote days. This gives office time a clear purpose and builds a culture of connection, not just attendance.
Get HR Clarity and Make Hybrid Work Simple
Adapting to hybrid work is one of the most powerful ways to attract and keep the right people your business needs to grow – without increasing salaries or burning out your team.

When it’s done well, hybrid work stops being a compliance headache and becomes a competitive advantage.

At Purple Playground, we help small businesses build straightforward, compliant  HR frameworks that actually work in practice. We’re not about complexity or cookie-cutter templates.

### Rethinking Talent Acquisition for Gold Coast Businesses

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Hiring has changed, and so have the expectations of both employers and candidates. For Gold Coast businesses, finding the right people isn’t just about filling roles. It’s about building teams that support your culture, your goals and your long-term success.

Many local businesses start by searching for a “talent acquisition agency on the Gold Coast, Queensland.” What they’re really looking for is a partner who understands the people side of business, and we don’t just mean recruitment, but rather the bigger picture of attraction, engagement and retention.

At Purple Playground, we help small and scaling businesses take a strategic, human-centred approach to hiring. Because effective talent acquisition isn’t about volume - it’s about fit, growth and connection.
The New Face of Hiring
In the past, recruitment was transactional: post a job, fill a role, move on. Today, it’s about alignment and finding people who can grow with your business and contribute in a meaningful way.

A modern approach to talent acquisition combines:

 	Market insight - understanding the local talent landscape and what drives people to join (and stay) with great employers
 	Talent pipeline development - building relationships with potential candidates early, so you’re ready when the right role opens
 	Culture and employer brand alignment - helping businesses become the kind of workplace people seek out
 	Smart technology - using tools and data to make better hiring decisions faster

Why Local Insight Matters
The Gold Coast has a unique mix of industries - hospitality, e-commerce, tech, health, construction, tourism, not-for-profits and professional services - each with its own hiring challenges.

That’s why we bring both HR and recruitment expertise grounded in local understanding. So businesses can hire people who fit the role and add to the organisation’s culture.
From Recruitment to Retention
Great hiring doesn’t stop when someone signs the contract. The best teams are built on ongoing support, clear growth pathways, and a culture that helps people thrive.

We bring our HR expertise to every recruitment campaign, helping businesses connect the dots between recruitment, onboarding and long-term retention, so hiring once means hiring well.
Balancing Data with Human Connection
Analytics can guide good decisions, but people drive great ones. We use insights to understand what’s working in your hiring process and pair that with a people-first approach that keeps empathy at the centre.

This balance means smarter, more confident hiring…and employees that stick around.
The Purple Playground Approach
We’re not a traditional talent acquisition agency. We’re a strategic HR and recruitment partner for growing businesses across the Gold Coast and South East Queensland, helping you hire with purpose, confidence and care.

If your business is ready to grow purposefully, you might be searching for a talent acquisition agency on the Gold Coast, Queensland.

What you really need is a people partner who understands your organisation, your challenges and your goals.

That’s where Purple Playground comes in…combining strategic HR support with practical recruitment expertise to help you hire confidently and build teams that help grow your business long term.

Let’s connect to make hiring simpler, smarter and more meaningful, so you can build the team your business deserves.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

### 5 Proven Strategies for Building a Purpose-Driven Small Business Culture

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Why should building a strong team be your priority? Sure, salary and growth opportunities matter, but they’re rarely enough on their own. Even top performers want to feel connected to their work and be part of a team that stands for something bigger.

For small business owners, carving out time to build culture can feel impossible. But a purpose-driven culture is often the difference between disengaged employees and a workplace that attracts and keeps great people. Here is how to get started.
1. Define and Live Your ‘Why’
A sense of purpose starts with clarity. If your team doesn’t understand the bigger picture, their work can feel disconnected from results.

What to do:

 	Develop your purpose statement: Involve employees so it authentically reflects your values. In doing so, you can ensure buy-in and genuine representation.
 	Guide your decisions: Use your purpose as a filter for tough decisions, asking, “What solution lines up with our why?” This demonstrates your accountability to your team, and modelling that behaviour sets the tone for how others in your business will navigate challenges.
 	Keep it visible: Consistently mention your purpose in meetings, onboarding and everyday conversations, so it becomes second nature.

2. Hire for Values, Not Just Skills
One bad hire can derail a small team, even if they’re technically brilliant. Recruiting for values as well as capability is key.

What to do:

 	Define your core values: Identify the 3–5 non-negotiable behaviours. Think simple, like  “We take ownership” or “We support each other.”
 	Ask the right questions: Use behavioural interview questions to understand how candidates think. Their response will help you gain a deeper insight into their core values.
 	Get the team involved: Arrange an informal chat with future colleagues to test culture fit.

3. Lead by Example
Your actions set the tone. If management doesn’t live the values, the culture won’t stick.

What to check:

 	Your behaviour: Do your actions reflect the core values you have outlined (e.g. promoting work-life balance but sending late-night emails)?
 	How you handle mistakes: Owning mistakes encourages accountability.
 	Your priorities: Where you invest your time and energy shows your team what truly matters.

4. Turn Purpose Into Everyday Actions
Culture isn’t built in annual reviews - it’s shaped daily. Your purpose needs to be integral to how your business operates. When your values are reflected in your policies and daily routines, it makes your culture real and tangible for everyone.

What to check:

 	Policies: Does your leave or flexible work policy reflect the values you claim to hold?
 	Performance reviews: Balance values with results. Acknowledge how goals are achieved, not just if they’re met.
 	Team rituals: Start meetings with a story or a win that connects back to your purpose.

5. Connect Daily Tasks to the Bigger Picture
People stay motivated when they see the impact of their work. Simple recognition can go a long way.

What to acknowledge:

 	Feedback: Highlight customer reviews and credit the people behind them.
 	Social impact: If you support a cause, regularly share updates that link your team’s efforts to positive change.
 	Progress: When a project is completed or a target is met, celebrate it and connect the success back to purpose.

If this feels new, don’t panic. But don’t put it off either. Small, consistent actions quickly add up to employee engagement and a culture that attracts and keeps great people. At the end of the day, everyone wants to feel valued, connected and proud of their work – including you.

At Purple Playground, we help small businesses build fair, people-first workplaces. If you're looking for practical advice on building culture, we’re just a call away. Our outsourced recruitment services help align your people with your purpose, right from the start.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

### Fair Work 2025: A Simple Checklist for Small Business Owners

Fair Work changes for 2025 have officially landed. For many small businesses, the challenge isn’t knowing what’s coming - it’s making sure you’ve already caught up. Between day-to-day operations, looking after your team, and everything else on your plate, Fair Work compliance updates can easily slip down the list.

If that’s you, you’re not alone. The good news? It’s not too late to review where you’re at and take action.

Here’s a practical checklist of what’s changed with Fair Work policies and what to update your business now. You can also check out our HR policies every small business should have to make sure your frameworks are up to date.
Wage Underpayment Is Now a Criminal Offence
Since 1 January 2025, intentional wage underpayment has been criminalised. One-off honest mistakes aren’t the issue but reliable HR practices and payroll processes are now non-negotiable.

What to check:

 	Payroll accuracy: Cross-check pay rates, allowances and super against the correct Award or agreement, classifications and pay grades/levels
 	Records: Keep clear documentation on how you classify and pay employees
 	Systems: Confirm your Human Resource Information System (HRIS) and payroll software are set up to handle casuals, part-timers and annual wage changes

Fixed-Term Contracts Have New Limits
Fixed-term contracts can’t roll on indefinitely anymore. The rules now mean:

 	Maximum of two years (including extensions)
 	Only one renewal allowed
 	Breach the limit and the employee is considered permanent

What to check:

 	Audit contracts: Review all current fixed-term agreements
 	Workforce planning: Transition longer roles to permanent
 	Update templates: Make sure your standard contracts reflect the limits

Casual Employment Rules Have Shifted
It’s no longer just about what’s written in the contract - it’s about the reality of the work. Casual employees now have the right to request permanent employment if their hours look more “ongoing” than “occasional.”

What to check:

 	Patterns: Look at your long-term casuals. Are their hours predictable?
 	Onboarding: Give every new casual the Casual Employment Information Statement (CEIS)
 	Conversion requests: Have a process to respond within 21 days

The Right to Disconnect Has Arrived
As of August 2025, small business employees now have the right to refuse unreasonable work contact outside their usual hours. It’s not about banning after-hours communication altogether - it’s about respecting boundaries.

What to check:

 	Team expectations: Talk openly about when after-hours contact is okay, and when it’s not
 	Manager training: Make sure leaders know how to apply the rules fairly
 	Lead by example: Respect downtime and be clear when out-of-hours messages don’t need an immediate reply

If some of this still feels like news, don’t panic. But don’t put it off either. The sooner your systems, contracts and processes are aligned with Fair Work Policies, the easier it is to protect your business and support your people.

At Purple Playground, we help small businesses simplify compliance and build fair, people-first workplaces. If you’re after practical advice on how to make these changes in Fair Work Compliance work for your business and your team, we’re just a call or email away → purpleplayground.com.au/contact

### Planning for the silly season

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]As the Christmas and New Year period approaches, businesses often find themselves juggling the challenges that come with the busy holiday season. From wrapping up the current year to setting up for the year ahead, it can feel overwhelming.

But before you can think about activating that ‘out of office’ reply, there are a few important factors that need to be considered and prepared for well in advance. These may include preparing for a Christmas shutdown, handling employee leave requests, or hiring Christmas casuals to help cover a festive rush.

Don’t worry, though - we have some practical tips to help you prepare.
Key points to consider when planning a Christmas Shutdown:

 	Check employee leave balances: To understand and determine which employees will and will not have sufficient leave to cover the shutdown period, businesses should monitor employee annual leave balances throughout the year.
 	Review or Consider a Leave Policy: It is beneficial to have a policy that provides clear guidelines outlining employee and employer obligations around annual leave to avoid any potential misunderstandings or disputes
 	Determine Closure Dates: Establish the dates for the closure as early in the year as possible. This gives employers time to plan ahead and manage workloads effectively leading up to the shutdown.
 	Early Communication: Inform employees, customers and any other relevant parties, such as vendors, of any Christmas closures or changes to business hours well in advance. Clear communication through multiple channels such as email, social media and website helps everyone plan accordingly and ensures a smoother transition into the new year.
 	Wrap Up Loose Ends: Encourage employees to complete any pending tasks before the closure. This reduces the likelihood of unfinished work piling up and causing stress when business resumes.

Can employees be directed to take Annual Leave during a Christmas Shutdown?
Whether an employer can direct employees to take annual leave during a Christmas shutdown depends on the relevant award, enterprise agreement, or employment contract. Should you determine this is allowed under the employee's award or agreement, please be mindful of other key factors to consider when planning a shutdown:

 	Notice Period: Employers need to provide written notice before directing employees to take annual leave during a shutdown. This notice period is usually specified in the relevant award or agreement. Most awards are often 28 days or one month, however don't be caught off guard, some Awards reference up to 3 months' written notice so ensure you look into this well in advance.
 	Annual Leave Balance: If an employee does not have enough annual leave accrued to cover the shutdown period, the employee and employer can agree to other options for the days not covered, such as:
o Leave without pay
o Annual leave in advance
o Or other paid leave, such as time off in lieu
 	Fair Work Act Compliance: Even if not specifically covered by an award or agreement, the Fair Work Act allows employers to direct employees to take leave if it is reasonable. What is "reasonable" depends on the circumstances, including the length of the notice given and the reasons for the shutdown.
 	Consultation: Employers should consult with employees and provide clear written communication about the shutdown and the requirement to take leave. This helps ensure transparency and reduce potential disputes.

Alternatively, if the festive season brings a surge to business and a need to hire in extra help, here are some practical tips for managing Christmas Casuals:

 	Early Recruitment: Start the recruitment process early to secure the best talent. Advertise positions through multiple channels, including online job boards, the company website and social media platforms.
 	Clear Job Descriptions: Provide detailed job descriptions to ensure applicants understand their roles and responsibilities. Clear expectations help prevent misunderstandings and improve job performance.
 	Comprehensive Training: Invest time in training your Christmas casuals. Even though they are temporary, well-trained employees are more likely to perform effectively and provide a positive customer experience.
 	Integration with Permanent Staff: Foster a welcoming environment for temporary staff. Encourage your permanent employees to support and guide the new hires, creating a cohesive and collaborative team.
 	Manage Rosters Efficiently: Create rosters that accommodate the availability of your casual staff while ensuring you have adequate coverage during peak times.
 	Compliance: Ensure all employer obligations are met, including but not limited to:

o Understanding the definition of ‘casual employment’
o Accurate payment of wages and penalties
o Providing necessary breaks in accordance with their relevant award

 	Performance Feedback: Provide regular feedback to Christmas casuals. Acknowledging their contributions and offering constructive feedback can enhance their performance and engagement.
 	Consider Future Opportunities: If some of your Christmas casuals perform exceptionally well, consider offering them longer-term positions or inviting them back for future seasonal work.

Why is this important?
Managing the holiday season requires careful planning, clear communication, and a focus on both employee and business needs.

### Benefits of a HR Audit

A HR audit is an objective examination of your business's HR policies, practices, and procedures. The goal is to to evaluate whether the ‘current state’ of HR is legal, efficient and effective.

A HR audit can, and should, be used as a diagnostic tool to determine, assess and address gaps between the current state and the desired state of your HR practices, with a view of continually improving HR practices and associated activities.
To effectively do so a HR Audit should aim to cover three aspects:

 	Systems: a review of data and information, as well as HR procedures, processes and practices. This includes policies, procedures, forms, templates, HR information systems and the advice and guidance provided by Leaders to other members of the business.
 	Behaviours: how well systems are understood and used by managers, employees and other stakeholders. This includes employee commitment, accountability, acceptance of HR systems.
 	Attitudes: how systems are perceived by managers, employees and other stakeholders. This includes perceived fairness, efficiency and effectiveness of the HR systems.

The objectives of a HR audit are generally to:

 	test the compliance of the HR practices against external legislation and internal business governance
 	assess the effectiveness of the HR practices against wider business goals and best practice
 	identify any gaps, inconsistencies or shortcomings of HR policies and practices against specified outcomes
 	suggest actions to address any identified gaps, inconsistencies or shortcomings and
 	recommend steps to continually improve the performance of the HR practices.

Benefits to evaluating HR activities
The benefit of a HR audit is to assist businesses to identify shortfalls around and increase:

 	Productivity: by ensuring current practices are complementing and contributing to business goals, any critical HR problems are found and addressed, and that the business resources are being used to maximum effect
 	Compliance: by ensuring current HR policies and practice meet legislative obligations. This can reduce legal claims and effect the business reputation as perceived by customers, potential applicants and shareholders
 	Best Practice and Continuous Improvement: by determining a businesses desired state (benchmark), assessing its current state, and deciding how the business can bridge the gap between the two.

### The Power of Employer Brand and Employee Value Proposition

What Businesses Need to Know
This is for you… Business Founders, Owners and Managers! We're diving into two crucial concepts that can make or break your company’s ability to attract and retain top talent: Employer Brand and Employee Value Proposition (EVP). These terms might sound like HR jargon, but trust us, they are game-changers for your business.

So, let’s unpack:

 	what they mean,
 	why they matter, and
 	how you can leverage them to build a stronger, more attractive workplace.

What’s the Difference Between Employer Brand and EVP?
Employer Brand is all about your company’s reputation as a place to work. It’s the image you project to current employees, potential hires, and even to the broader market. Think of it as your company’s personality. It’s shaped by your culture, values, work environment, and how you treat your employees. Your employer brand answers the question:

“Why should someone want to work here?”

On the flip side, Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is the unique set of benefits and rewards that you offer to your employees. It’s the promise you make to your team in return for their skills and commitment. This includes everything from salary and benefits to career development opportunities and work-life balance. Your EVP answers the question:

“What’s in it for me?”

And yep, we do live in a world where everyone wants to know ‘what’s in it for me’ so that’s why it’s so important to get right. Of course, you’re never going to please everyone all of the time…but as Business Founders and Owners, if we can stick to our purpose, values, mission and vision; we’ll attract and retain more ‘A’ team players.
Why Employer Brand and EVP Matter
For businesses getting these two elements right can be a real game-changer. Here’s why:

1- Attracting Top Talent

In today’s competitive job market, candidates are not just looking for money. They want to work for companies that resonate with their values and offer a supportive, engaging work environment. A strong employer brand makes your business stand out from the crowd. It’s like having a magnet that draws top talent to your doorstep.

Example: Imagine you run an eCommerce startup on the Gold Coast. Your employer brand showcases a culture of innovation, teamwork, and flexible working hours. You share stories on social media about your team’s achievements and the fun team-building activities you organize. This positive image makes talented developers and designers eager to join your team.

2- Retaining Your Best Employees

A compelling EVP helps you keep your best employees happy and motivated. When your team feels valued and sees clear benefits in working for you, they’re less likely to jump ship when another opportunity comes along.

Example: Let’s say you own a marketing agency in Byron Bay. Your EVP includes competitive salaries, ongoing training programs, and a strong focus on work-life balance. By regularly communicating these benefits and delivering on your promises, you build loyalty and reduce turnover.

3- Enhancing Employee Engagement

Engaged employees are more productive, creative, and committed to their work. When your employer brand and EVP align, your team knows what to expect and feels genuinely connected to your company’s mission.

Example: Consider a family-owned manufacturing business in Brisbane. Your employer brand emphasizes a supportive, family-like atmosphere. Your EVP includes health benefits, career advancement opportunities, and regular feedback sessions. This alignment creates a motivated, cohesive team that works hard to achieve your business goals.
How to Develop a Strong Employer Brand and EVP
Now that you know why these elements are essential, let’s talk about how to develop them.

1- Understand Your Current Position

Start by assessing your current employer brand and EVP. Conduct surveys and interviews with your employees to understand their perceptions and what they value most about working with you. This will give you a clear picture of where you stand and what areas need improvement.

2- Define Your Unique Selling Points (USP)

Identify what makes your company unique. What makes your organisation better than your competitors? What are your core values? What benefits can you offer that your competitors don’t or can’t? Use this information to craft a compelling employer brand and EVP that reflect your business’s strengths.

3- Communicate Clearly and Consistently

Your employer brand and EVP should be communicated clearly across all channels—your website, job postings, social media, and internal communications. Consistency is key. Ensure that your messaging…and your actions reflect your company culture and the benefits you offer.

4- Deliver on Your Promises

It’s crucial to walk the talk. If you promise career development opportunities, ensure you have relevant programs in place. If you highlight work-life balance, make sure your policies support it. Authenticity builds trust and strengthens your employer brand.
In Conclusion
For businesses of all shapes and sizes, a strong employer brand and a compelling EVP are not just nice-to-haves—they’re essential tools for attracting and retaining top talent. By understanding the differences between these concepts and implementing strategies to enhance them, you can create a workplace that not only draws in the best candidates but also keeps your current employees happy and engaged.

Remember, it’s all about creating a positive, supportive environment where your team can thrive. And that, in turn, will drive your business’s success. So, take the time to develop your employer brand and EVP, and watch your company flourish!

### Criminalising Wage Theft

The Federal Government is standing up for Australian workers by delivering on their promise to criminalise wage theft across the nation. If a worker steals from the till, it’s a criminal offence – as it should be. But in many parts of the country if an employer steals from a worker’s pay packet, it’s not.

It’s time to end this double standard once and for all. That’s why the Government – as part of the Closing Loopholes Bill– is making it a criminal offence to deliberately underpay workers.

The Federal Government has proposed increased penalties for employers that intentionally engage in wage theft as part of a band of reforms aimed at protecting the rights of workers. Part 14 of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Bill 2023 proposes the introduction of a new criminal offence for wage theft. This new offence would commence no later than 1 January 2025 and will only apply where intentional conduct is established.

What is Wage Theft?

Wage theft in this general sense refers to the unlawful withholding or underpayment of a worker’s wages and entitlements by their employer other than by purely innocent mistake. This occurrence can take various forms, including paying employees less than the minimum wage, failing to provide overtime pay, denying rest and meal breaks, and neglecting to pay superannuation contributions.

What are the penalties?[CB1]

For a company

The following penalties will apply:

 	if the court can determine the underpayment, the greater of 3 times the amount of the underpayment and $7.825 million, or
 	if the court can’t determine the underpayment, $7.825 million.

For an individual

The following penalties will apply:

 	 maximum of 10 years in prison
 	if the court can determine the underpayment, the greater of 3 times the amount of the underpayment and $1.565 million, or
 	if the court can’t determine the underpayment, $1.565 million.

The Fair Work Ombudsman will be responsible for investigating suspected underpayment offences.

How to protect your business?

Now more than ever, it is important that businesses maintain effective checks and balances against the wages that are owed to their employees.

 	Regularly assess compliance with awards, agreements, and employment contracts to ensure that employee entitlements are understood and correctly applied.
 	Review payroll systems and processes to ensure there are checks and balances for the correct payment (and accrual) of employee entitlements.
 	Make a plan on how to respond to any queries or incidents related to underpayment so that these can be rectified before they result in litigation.

### Heads up on Wage Reviews

Every year, the Fair Work Commission reviews the National Minimum Wage and minimum rates of pay in Modern Awards to decide if they should be increased. This is the Annual Wage Review (AWR).
The AWR usually happens between March and June, with . Any changes generally come into effect on the first full period from 1 July.
The Annual Wage Review is an activity that takes place at the same time each year, yet it often catches employers off guard. So let’s get ahead of the game and get prepared for The Annual Wage Review today!
There are three actions you can take today to prepare for the outcome of The Annual Wage Review.
1- Review Employment Contracts
It is anticipated that The Commission will look to increase wages from the 1st of July. This provides a good opportunity to review existing employment contracts to ensure they are compliant and appropriate for the current work arrangements.
Things to consider;

 	Is the employee covered by a Modern Award?
 	The employment status of the employee (casual, part time or full time)?
 	Are you paying above Award rates and if so, do you have a relevant set-off clause?

2- Review Wage Arrangements
Most employees are covered by a Modern Award. It’s important to understand which Modern Award applies to your employees and the conditions associated with that Award (keeping in mind that your employees may fall under different Awards).

 	Which classification level on the Award is your employee covered by?
 	Is your employee paid an hourly rate or an annualised wage arrangement (previously known as an annualised salary)?

3- Know where to find the rate increases
Each financial year The Commission reviews and sets minimum wages. All the relevant documents and information for the latest Annual Wage Reviews will be published here:

### Implementing Flexible Work Arrangements- Is It For My Business?

It’s Thursday afternoon and there has just been another media blast promoting how Company X is leading the charge in allowing all employees to work 4 days per week, yet still be paid for 5!  The next day, your employees are discussing this at lunch, questioning why this can’t be a reality at their workplace.

Next thing you know, you have a number of employees knocking on your door (or inbox) asking to drop back to 4 days per week, or finish every day at 2pm, or have the middle of the day off to take their puppy to obedience classes.

Aghh?! What do I do? My employees are great, I value them highly and really want to keep them happy, but can I say yes to everyone? Do I have to?  Will it impact operations?

Well. Some businesses may struggle to entertain working one less day a week or different hours, particularly when they have operations that need staffing beyond 4 days.  However, many businesses do have the ability to alter when or how work is performed, it just takes some genuine consideration about what might work, and how.
 The number one work perk that Australians want is the ability to have flexibility to choose their working hours and where they’re able to work from.
-Seek Report, November 2022
There can be significant merit in providing more flexibility, resulting in benefits not just for your people but for your business and broader society.  One of the biggest global studies and trials of a 4-day work week has been led by non-for-profit 4 Day Week Global, which included companies from Australia and NZ, amongst others.  The first report from this global trial has recently been published, with almost 100% of participating companies continuing a 4 day work week due to registered gains in revenue, productivity as well as drops in absenteeism and turnover.  Furthermore, the results indicated on average the physical and mental wellbeing outcomes improved for employees, whilst fatigue, stress and burnout levels reduced.  Whilst this trial is still in progress, the outcomes are very encouraging!
“In many countries, we have a workweek that was enshrined in 1938, and it doesn’t mesh with contemporary life.”
-Juliet Schor, 4-Day Week Global Research Team-Lead, Boston University
Of course, when individual employees are coming to you requesting flexibility, it is not always an easy answer, nor a straight yes or no answer.  The Fair Work Act provides guidance on who is legally entitled to request flexibility, and likewise the process you need to undertake in assessing and making a decision on such requests. Genuinely considering and assessing flexible work requests is even more important with an upcoming legislation change in June 2023 that now provides employees the right to dispute refusals of flexible work requests with the Fair Work Ombudsman, with the onus of proof on the Employer to prove reasonable business grounds for the refusal.

Alongside weighing up the benefits of providing flexibility, and your legal obligations to consider such requests, of course you also need to think about numero uno- your business needs.  There may not be (and possibly shouldn’t be) a one-sized fits all approach like trialling a blanket 4-day work week across the company.  Each individual will have different needs, and each role/function/department will also have different operational needs.  The important thing is to consider each request on a case-by-case basis.

When assessing each application, a bit of creativity and innovation comes into play when identifying if operations can be structured a bit differently in order to accommodate some flexibility.  It may not be clear from the beginning if a new way of doing things will actually work out, which is why implementing a trial for flexible working is always a good idea.  The trial allows you the opportunity to test the waters, work through any teething issues and provides a get-out-jail-free card it the arrangement isn’t working for both parties.



The media have long been touting the increasing desire of employees to have more flexibility and work life balance; a trend that is guaranteed to continue.  The ball is now in the court of Employers to challenge past ways of thinking and give genuine consideration to what flexibility can be offered. Those companies that have already taken these steps have placed themselves at a significant competitive advantage and fired themselves into the realm of being Employers of Choice.  They are winning in the war for talent.

So are you ready to focus in on what flexibility looks like for your company? The good news is, you don’t have to jump straight into the deep end with this.  Implementing trials is a risk-averse approach that demonstrates your commitment as a business to implementing progressive practices. At the end of the day, flexibility needs to strike the right balance; balancing employee needs with your business needs and balancing short term operational needs with your long-term business goals.

Trialling something a bit different may just be the best thing you do for the success of your people, which at the end of the day, is the success and true impact of your business.

A flexible workplace doesn’t have to be wishful thinking, it can be a reality.

I challenge you not to file this topic in the ‘too hard basket’, or ‘I’ll deal with that when I have to’.  Maybe today is a good day to set aside some time and genuinely consider; can things be done differently here?

To make it easier and ensure compliance, contact your HR Partner at Purple Playground for all the support, expertise and best practice ideas you’ll need to make this work for you.

### How to Master Time Management

We’ve all experienced the woes of time management at work. You wake up hopeful and optimistic—not only will you meet all your deadlines, but you’ll hit the gym and make a healthy home-cooked meal, too.

Then life happens. You leave late, you hit traffic, and you arrive at your desk already frustrated with the world. Sitting down to finally knock out that project you’ve been procrastinating for weeks, you realize you’ve got back-to-back meetings until noon—and yes, you’re already late for the first one. You finally walk out of the last meeting, and you start wading through emails when you get pulled into a meeting with the VP. He has a last-minute request for you. “It should only take an hour,” he says. Try three.

The good news is that there are ways to reclaim those seemingly elusive lost hours of the day. It’s all about personal time management—manage your time instead of letting it manage you. 
1. Figure out How You’re Currently Spending Your Time.
If you’re going to optimize your personal time management, you first need to figure out where the time is going.

 	Determine how much you can feasibly accomplish in a day. 
 	Identify timesucks.
 	Focus on activities that provide the greatest returns.

2. Create a Daily Schedule—and Stick with It.
This step is absolutely crucial for learning how to manage time at work. Don’t even attempt starting your day without an organized to-do list. Before you leave work for the day, create a list of the most pressing tasks for the next day. This step allows you to get going as soon as you get to the office.
3. Prioritize Wisely.
As you organize your to-do list, prioritization is key for successful time management at work. Start by eliminating tasks that you shouldn’t be performing in the first place. Then identify the three or four most important tasks and do those first—that way, you make sure you finish the essentials.

 	Important and urgent: These tasks have important deadlines with high urgency—complete them right away.
 	Important but not urgent: These items are important but don’t require immediate action and should involve long-term development strategizing. Strive to spend most of your time in this quadrant.
 	Urgent but not important: These tasks are urgent but not important. Minimize, delegate, or eliminate them because they don’t contribute to your output. They are generally distractions that may result from the poor planning of others.
 	Urgent and unimportant: These activities hold little if any value and should be eliminated as much as possible.

4. Group Similar Tasks Together.
Save yourself time and mental energy by trying to complete all of one type of todo before moving on to the next. For example, create separate chunks of time for answering emails, making phone calls, filing, etc. Don’t answer emails and messages as they come in, as doing so is distraction at its finest. Turn off your phone and email notifications to completely eliminate the temptation to check at an unappointed time.
5. Avoid the Urge to Multitask.
This is one of the simplest time management tips for work, yet it can be one of the hardest to follow. Focus on the task at hand and block out all distractions. It can be tempting to multitask, but you’re just shooting yourself in the foot when you attempt to do so. You lose time and decrease productivity when switching from one task to another. 

Similarly, don’t get overwhelmed by a to-do list stretching a mile long. Stressing over it will not make it shorter, so breathe in, breathe out, and take it one task at a time.
6. Assign Time Limits to Tasks.
Part of creating your schedule should involve setting time limits on tasks instead of just working until they’re done. To-do lists are great and wonderful, but sometimes you might feel like you never check anything off. 

If you’re looking to set a steady pace to your workflow, the Pomodoro Technique can help you check off your to-do list in 25-minute chunks, taking short breaks between each stint and a longer break after completing four. This technique balances a narrow focus with frequent breaks, reducing mental strain and maintaining motivation. 

The designated amount of time on that task, move on to the next important activity. You’ll find your productivity skyrocketing and your to-do list shrinking when you have these parameters in place. 
7. Build in Buffers.
One of the more enjoyable time management tips for work: Make breaks a part of your schedule. When you finish a task, give yourself time to breathe. Take mini-breaks to recharge, whether that be a short walk, a game of ping pong, some meditation, etc.
8. Eliminate Distractions.
Social media, web browsing, co-workers, text messages, instant messaging—the distractions at work can be limitless. A key to personal time management is being proactive about getting rid of them. Shut your door to limit interruptions. Close all tabs except the ones you are currently working on. Turn off messaging notifications and leave your personal phone calls for lunch. 

Take baby steps. Identify your top two distractions and focus on conquering those for two weeks. And remember that getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, and eating healthily can all help you stay focused during the workday—especially when that afternoon slump hits.

### Timesheet Fraud

What is timesheet fraud?
Remember that kid from school who was always trying to figure out a way to change the grades on their report card? Well, they are still out there and now they are an adult and trying to figure out a way to scam company timesheets.
ADP Payroll conducted a survey of workers who get paid for every hour they log and 43% admitted to exaggerating the amount of time they work during their shifts. With those results, it is no surprise that cases of timesheet fraud continue to be heard across The Fair Work Commission (Commission). Most recently, the Commission upheld a summary dismissal of a hospital cleaner who spent around one-third of his time ‘on break’ in the tearoom. The employer dismissed the worker for serious misconduct after discovering the conduct, arguing that it amounted to, ‘time fraud/theft', in that the employee was paid for time worked when he had removed himself from duties without authorisation.

How does timesheet fraud take place?
It takes place when an employee gets paid for work they never did or for time spent on activities not related to work. Time fraud schemes mostly depend on the method employees used to track their time, absences, and overtime.

Here are the most common fraud types:

 	Inflating time logged in the timesheet.
 	Editing time-track retrospectively
 	Punching in for a coworker
 	Logging regular time as overtime

Four tips to help you stop time theft:
1. Identify and seal the cracks 
Businesses that integrated time and attendance with payroll had an almost 30% lower rate of payroll processing errors. Understanding your options and their potential for timesheet error and falsification can enable better data input.
2. Improve visibility with self-service 
Enabling self-service for managers can allow individuals throughout the organisation to participate in fraud recognition. With 24-hour access to timesheets, for example, managers can notice and report discrepancies between worker attendance and recorded time capture data.
3. Make sure to inform your employees about payroll and overtime policies 
Sometimes timesheet fraud is not really intended. Things start going wrong, when an employee doesn’t clearly understand their duties or how they should account for their work.
4. If you’ve noticed any minor cases of fraud, don’t ignore them 
Remember the old saying: “It’s better to prevent than to cure”? Talking to the employee as soon as possible is your chance to prevent major problems in the future.

There’s no doubt that timesheet fraud is harmful to the bottom line and culture of a business. No matter what technology you implement or processes that you put in place to manage timesheet recording, building trust in your team will allows provide dividends particularly in maintaining a productive and engaging business culture.

 

### Succession Planning

When your business is chugging along, and the economy and your financial future look secure, it can be hard to stop long enough to consider what might happen to your business if you suddenly weren’t there. This is where succession planning comes into play. The purpose of succession planning is to make sure a business always has the right leaders in place should a change happen quickly.

How many of you predicted in 2020 that we would be experiencing a global pandemic? Or how quickly the world changed as a result of the pandemic.

Reality is, we can’t anticipate when a serious illness, accident, disaster, or pandemic will strike and impact our business, but we can prepare for what will need to be addressed should one happen.

While it may seem like a time-consuming process, there are many benefits to succession planning.
What is Succession Planning?
Succession planning is a strategy for identifying and developing future leaders in your business. It's not about just focusing on the top-tier roles but all major roles at all levels. There are many stories out there in the business world where business leaders have been left in a pickle because of a key position being left vacant. The message being, don’t be that business that is left without power because the electricity bill wasn’t paid. Don’t get caught out – succession planning is key!
What are the benefits of succession planning?
Maintaining a succession plan will assist in providing businesses with improved strategic viability and ongoing business continuity by proactively addressing:

 	Future leadership capability
 	Business direction and continuity
 	Retention of high-value talent
 	Retention of institutional knowledge
 	Cultural development

What is the succession planning process?
 

 	Identify important positions in your business
 	Assess employees and evaluate their capabilities
 	Identify employees that can fill the needed position
 	Begin developing employees
 	Evaluate and repeat the cycle as many times as needed

Ensuring your succession plan is implemented smoothly is just as important as spending the time developing the plan. Like with all strategic pieces of work, there is no value is spending time developing the succession plan if there is no action in implementing the plan into your business
Tips for implementing a succession plan
 
Timely communication – successor first
Don’t follow the age-old mistake of identifying a successor for a key role within a business, but never telling the person. Leaders too often utter the words, ‘but I had a great plan for you' when the earmarked successor hands in their notice. Informing the identified successor that they have been earmarked for a future role opens a conversation with the employee to establish if they are even interested in a future with the business and how they feel about the intended role.
Balance transparency with confidentiality
Succession planning can often incorporate sensitive issues, so it is crucial to balance transparency with discretion.
Convey a fair selection process
Often it can appear to employees that someone internally has just been handed a role on a plate, without any formal selection process, particularly if the role wasn’t advertised. Depending on the nature of the role and the size of the business, there may be consideration for the roles to be advertised internally to allow for a formal process and criteria for selection to provide a fair and equitable process.
Regularly review the succession plan
A succession plan shouldn’t be viewed as a one-off document and not looked at again. The plan is a living document, that is regularly reviewed and updated where relevant.

 

### 7 Tips for Optimal Resilience at Work

For many of us at this time, we are dealing with increased stress, frequent change and complex challenges. Whilst there is no magic formula for building resilience in a work context, understanding what makes a resilient employee allows us to recognise what we need to focus on. Building your resilience at work is all about making small changes in a number of everyday routines, that take place both at work and outside of it.

1. Keep up your energy levels
It’s important to keep up your diet, exercise and sleep routines so you can maximise your body rhythms. Try scheduling the harder work for the times of the day when you feel more energised.
2. Make a plan and take back some control
Our daily workplace stressors can either be a positive challenge or a road to burnout. To take back control and drive which path it will go down, try writing down the top three issues causing you stress at work then focus on shifting your thinking around these to make them a positive experience.
3. Get perspective around your worries
Focus on what you can control and leave the other stuff behind. Change your thinking to a positive thought. For example, ‘I’ve had enough of that person/job' can be reframed to ‘That’s the only thing that bothers me about that person/job'.
4. Establish self-care routines
The busier you are…the less time you spend on yourself, right? It’s crucial to put boundaries around work and what’s important to you in your home life (more so than ever when you’re working from home). So try things like building mini-reflection time into your day, taking the stairs, booking in 45-minute meetings instead of the full hour and taking that extra 15 minutes for some quality ‘me’ time.
5. Maximise your support
Everyone needs support. It’s not a sign of weakness but rather a philosophy of ‘working smarter, not harder’. Think about who is in your support network and how do you offer support in return. E.g. who can you go to when you need practical backup, technical advice, or even help with home duties so you can focus on what’s most important to you.
6. Work to your strengths
Leveraging from your strengths can assist your resilience as you focus on what you’re good at, what you’re drawn to and what you enjoy doing. Think about how you can do more of these activities and consider trading others for a win-win solution.
7. Recognise non-sustainability
Blind optimism in the face of reality is not a good idea. Make every effort to improve how you manage your job but recognise when the personal cost is not worth it.

### Recognition in the workplace

Are you struggling to attract or retain your employees? Do your employees say that they are lacking motivation to do their job? Does the culture in your workplace advocate appreciation?

A survey by Gallup found that 65% of employees haven’t received any form of recognition for good work in the last year. Considering that most employees spend more time at work with their colleagues than they do at home with their family, being recognised and feeling appreciated is key to your employee’s satisfaction.

Recognition allows you to actively reinforce the behaviours and activities of employees that make a positive impact in your business. If an employee is going above and beyond in their job, living and breathing your company values and having a positive impact on business results; recognising this can go a long way towards encouraging and embedding these behaviours as the norm in your business.

Recognition can take on a number of forms, not just monetary.
Way to recognise your employees:
 

 	Celebrate employee life events – birthdays, work anniversaries, new additions to the family (children and pets), engagements
 	Give a gift card or voucher for a job well done
 	Give away company branded merchandise e.g. t-shirts, pens, cups, hats
 	Hold a regular morning tea/lunch to celebrate special events and recognise wins
 	Do a shout out or employee spotlight on social media, slack channels, or in group chats
 	Have a delivery sent to their home e.g. fruit basket, flowers, gift hamper
 	Invite employees to work on a special project in a different area of the business
 	Offer educational and training opportunities to improve their knowledge or skills e.g. seminars, conferences, certifications
 	Ask employees for their input or opinion about a business decision
 	Say thank you and congratulations – leave a handwritten note on their desk, send an email or say it in person. A simple thanks goes a long way

Be sure to personalise recognition and be honest and authentic in your approach. Not all employees want to be the centre of attention and others are happy to bask in the limelight. Think about how they will respond to the recognition and if it will encourage them to continue doing the same thing.

Making recognition part of your workplace doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. Consider what will work for your business taking into account your budget, number of employees and their wants and needs when it comes to being recognized. Start small and watch the little changes add up to make a big difference with your employees.
Recognition done right looks like this:
 

 	Employees feeling valued and adding value
 	Improved employee retention
 	Improved productivity
 	Happier employees
 	Engaged employees

If you want to take recognition to the next level, consider looking at an Employee Reward and Recognition system. Some HR Information systems already have this functionality built-in and can help you to easily embed your recognition practices in your business.

Your employees are the greatest asset in your business and your biggest advocates. Recognise and appreciate their contributions and watch them be empowered to continue making a positive impact in your business.

### Wage Review

Am I paying my employees correctly?
With an ever-thickening melting pot of roles, titles, industries, changes in legislation and constant market shifts, it can be tricky for employers to know if they are paying their employees appropriately and in alignment with their business strategy.
Some wages will be dictated by a Modern Award (there's over 120 them!), the National Employment Standards, or even award-free. But what does this actually mean?
Purple Playground can help you navigate this often complex and sensitive topic by helping you to pinpoint exactly what your employees should be getting paid.
Your team is your greatest asset, and we want to help you keep them!

What are the risks?
Unfortunately, some employers hire an employee on a specific wage level, then leave it and forget to look at it again. Not keeping up with changes exposes the business to the risk of legal action and back-payments while also adversely impacting employee engagement and the ability to remain competitive in the market.
No one wants to be that employer in the news headlines with a damaged brand from underpaying employees! The cost of recovering from such damage would far outweigh the cost of keeping up with market-rate increases.

So, how can we help?
We can help reduce your risk of under-paying (or over-paying) your employees and help you to strike the right balance between your bottom-line while retaining your most valued team members, and also help you to attract new stars.
When conducting a review, we will always consider your business goals, people strategy, industry, market and other factors.

So what is involved in a wage review?

 	We review the current wage information, position details, qualifications and the key responsibilities of your employees.
 	We identify what legal instrument governs each employee's wages and what they should be paid (which may include analysis of market data).
 	We undertake a comparison of what your employees are currently paid versus what our analysis has found.
 	We step you through our findings and recommendations for each employee, helping identify risks and focus areas for your business.
 	Where you choose to pursue our recommendations, we will be there to help guide you through employee consultations.

Estimated time commitment from you: 7 hours
Wage Review will...

 	Outline any risks and subsequent solutions
 	Help balance your legal obligations, bottom-line goals and employee retention
 	Ensure employees are appropriately compensated
 	Help you remain competitive in the market & attract new talent
 	Increase awareness of when wages should be reviewed in the future
 	Help start a conversation about your people and retention strategy

					HR Membership FAQs				
					Everything you need to know before you join				
						
				
					 What is the minimum term?  
						
									Our minimum membership term is 12 months, and there’s a good reason for that. We’re not about quick fixes or tick-a-box templates. The HR Membership is designed to support your business across a full year so we can help you plan ahead, tackle challenges as they come up, and build solid, sustainable people practices that actually stick. Think of it like a gym membership – using it once won’t get you results. The real value comes from showing up consistently, building habits, and seeing progress over time. And we’re here to spot you along the way. 								
					
						
				
					 Can I cancel my membership?  
						
									Still in your first 12 months? That part is locked in – just like a gym membership. It helps us keep things fair and consistent for all members, and gives you the time to see real value.We know business needs change, and while we’d love to be your HR sidekick forever, we won’t make it awkward if it’s time to move on. Just give us 30 days’ notice and we’ll wrap things up properly, so you’re not left in the lurch.								
					
						
				
					 Can I change my membership level once I’ve signed up?  
						
									Yes, you can. We know business needs evolve, and we’ve built the HR Membership to flex with you. The only thing to keep in mind: if you’re still within your initial 12-month commitment, you can upgrade anytime, but downgrades will apply after that period ends. No tricky contracts or hidden fees – just transparent support that scales with your business. 								
					
						
				
					 Can I share my login with other team members?  
						
									We get it, sharing is caring. But when it comes to logins, it’s a no from us. Each HR Membership comes with a single login for security, version control integrity, and nerdy compliance reasons. But don’t worry – if you’ve got leaders or team members who also need access, just let us know. Depending on your membership level, we can set up additional users or upgrade your membership to include broader access. We’re all about making it easy for the right people to get what they need – without turning your account into a free-for-all. 								
					
						
				
					 How much support / how many hours can I tap into your team for help?  
						
									It depends on your membership level – but rest assured, you’ll get the right level of support for where your business is at.Here’s how every member can tap into our expertise:Weekly Live Q&A Sessions: Available to ALL membersJoin our weekly 30-minute Q&A to talk through your people challenges in real time. Prefer to stay behind the scenes? You can pre-submit your questions via the portal. It’s a safe, supportive space to get clarity, build confidence, and keep your people plans moving – knowing you’ve got an expert in your corner.Monthly Webinars: Available to ALL membersOur members-only, 45-minute monthly webinars dive into timely HR topics that align with the season – from performance reviews and hiring tips to award updates and compliance changes. We focus on hot topics, practical advice, and forward-thinking insights you can use straight away.Personalised Support:Level 1 – A 30-minute consultation is included for each membership-included template/resource you use or that you have purchased separately. Additional support is billed per our price list.Level 2 – Book time with your dedicated HR Business Partner for advice, next steps, and light tailoring of templates.Level 3 – Everything in Level 2, plus your nominated People Leaders can also access your HR Business Partner for guidance related to their team.								
					
						
				
					 Can all my employees access you as our HR Team?  
						
									Not quite – and that’s by design. Our HR Membership is built to support the people leading your people. Each membership level is designed to support the business owners, managers, and anyone responsible for people and culture. We focus on building capability where it matters most, so your people leaders are confident having the crucial conversations, making proactive decisions, and handling the tricky stuff before it becomes a problem.   That way, instead of relying on us to step in every time, your internal leaders become equipped to manage their teams with clarity, confidence, and compliance, with us in their corner when they need backup. Please note that each of our 3 membership levels support different leaders within your organisation, so please read the overview for each membership level to determine which level works best for you. 								
					
						
				
					 How and when can I contact you for help?  
						
									Our team is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm AEST (excluding Queensland public holidays). We don’t work weekends or send 2am emails – we practice what we preach and value the right to disconnect (for you and for us!).Here’s what level of support is included based on your membership level:Level 1: HR ComplianceThe nominated account holder can contact us for support. For each template or resource included in your membership (or purchased separately), you can book a 30-minute consultation with your HR Business Partner to help customise it for your business at no extra charge. Any additional support or documentation is billed as per our price list (available on request).Level 2: HR HabitsThe nominated account holder can access personalised support included in your membership at no extra charge.Level 3: HR ImpactPersonalised support is included for the nominated account holder and your nominated people leaders at no extra charge.								
					
						
				
					 Do you charge per employee per month / does my fee go up if I grow my team?  
						
									Nope – we don’t charge per head. That’s not our style. Your HR Membership is priced based on the level of support you need, not how many people are on your payroll. We know growing teams go through busy seasons, and the last thing we want is for you to dread adding new team members because it’ll hike up your HR bill. That said, if your business grows significantly or your needs shift (think: new locations, extra leaders, or major structural changes), we’ll chat with you about whether your current level is still the right fit. No surprise invoices – just open conversations and the right support as you scale. 								
					
						
				
					 How do I pay?   
						
									Super simple – choose your membership level and pay securely by card or direct debit. All memberships are set up on a monthly basis, keeping things flexible and easy.								
					
						
				
					 Do you offer one-off consulting or HR project work?  
						
									We sure do! We know everyone has different needs, and we’re here to help. If you’ve got a specific HR challenge or project (like a policy overhaul, a tricky employee issue, a restructure, or a one-off compliance audit), we can jump in and help on a fee-for-project basis.  Just reach out, tell us what’s going on, and we’ll let you know how we can help (and what it’ll cost). No lock-ins, no fuss – just expert support when you need it.								
					
		Our minimum membership term is 12 months, and there’s a good reason for that. We’re not about quick fixes or tick-a-box templates. The HR Membership is designed to support your business across a full year so we can help you plan ahead, tackle challenges as they come up, and build solid, sustainable people practices that actually stick. Think of it like a gym membership - using it once won’t get you results. The real value comes from showing up consistently, building habits, and seeing progress over time. And we’re here to spot you along the way. Still in your first 12 months? That part is locked in – just like a gym membership. It helps us keep things fair and consistent for all members, and gives you the time to see real value.We know business needs change, and while we’d love to be your HR sidekick forever, we won’t make it awkward if it’s time to move on. Just give us 30 days' notice and we’ll wrap things up properly, so you’re not left in the lurch.Yes, you can. We know business needs evolve, and we’ve built the HR Membership to flex with you. The only thing to keep in mind: if you’re still within your initial 12-month commitment, you can upgrade anytime, but downgrades will apply after that period ends. No tricky contracts or hidden fees - just transparent support that scales with your business. We get it, sharing is caring. But when it comes to logins, it’s a no from us. Each HR Membership comes with a single login for security, version control integrity, and nerdy compliance reasons. But don’t worry - if you’ve got leaders or team members who also need access, just let us know. Depending on your membership level, we can set up additional users or upgrade your membership to include broader access. We’re all about making it easy for the right people to get what they need - without turning your account into a free-for-all. It depends on your membership level – but rest assured, you’ll get the right level of support for where your business is at.Here’s how every member can tap into our expertise:Weekly Live Q&A Sessions: Available to ALL membersJoin our weekly 30-minute Q&A to talk through your people challenges in real time. Prefer to stay behind the scenes? You can pre-submit your questions via the portal. It’s a safe, supportive space to get clarity, build confidence, and keep your people plans moving – knowing you’ve got an expert in your corner.Monthly Webinars: Available to ALL membersOur members-only, 45-minute monthly webinars dive into timely HR topics that align with the season – from performance reviews and hiring tips to award updates and compliance changes. We focus on hot topics, practical advice, and forward-thinking insights you can use straight away.Personalised Support:Level 1 - A 30-minute consultation is included for each membership-included template/resource you use or that you have purchased separately. Additional support is billed per our price list.Level 2 - Book time with your dedicated HR Business Partner for advice, next steps, and light tailoring of templates.Level 3 - Everything in Level 2, plus your nominated People Leaders can also access your HR Business Partner for guidance related to their team.Not quite - and that’s by design. Our HR Membership is built to support the people leading your people. Each membership level is designed to support the business owners, managers, and anyone responsible for people and culture. We focus on building capability where it matters most, so your people leaders are confident having the crucial conversations, making proactive decisions, and handling the tricky stuff before it becomes a problem.   That way, instead of relying on us to step in every time, your internal leaders become equipped to manage their teams with clarity, confidence, and compliance, with us in their corner when they need backup. Please note that each of our 3 membership levels support different leaders within your organisation, so please read the overview for each membership level to determine which level works best for you. Our team is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm AEST (excluding Queensland public holidays). We don’t work weekends or send 2am emails - we practice what we preach and value the right to disconnect (for you and for us!).Here’s what level of support is included based on your membership level:Level 1: HR ComplianceThe nominated account holder can contact us for support. For each template or resource included in your membership (or purchased separately), you can book a 30-minute consultation with your HR Business Partner to help customise it for your business at no extra charge. Any additional support or documentation is billed as per our price list (available on request).Level 2: HR HabitsThe nominated account holder can access personalised support included in your membership at no extra charge.Level 3: HR ImpactPersonalised support is included for the nominated account holder and your nominated people leaders at no extra charge.Nope - we don’t charge per head. That’s not our style. Your HR Membership is priced based on the level of support you need, not how many people are on your payroll. We know growing teams go through busy seasons, and the last thing we want is for you to dread adding new team members because it’ll hike up your HR bill. That said, if your business grows significantly or your needs shift (think: new locations, extra leaders, or major structural changes), we’ll chat with you about whether your current level is still the right fit. No surprise invoices - just open conversations and the right support as you scale. Super simple - choose your membership level and pay securely by card or direct debit. All memberships are set up on a monthly basis, keeping things flexible and easy.We sure do! We know everyone has different needs, and we’re here to help. If you’ve got a specific HR challenge or project (like a policy overhaul, a tricky employee issue, a restructure, or a one-off compliance audit), we can jump in and help on a fee-for-project basis.  Just reach out, tell us what’s going on, and we’ll let you know how we can help (and what it’ll cost).

			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!

Do you have experience in my industry?Our experienced recruitment team have a diverse recruiting background and are always keen to tackle new roles. However, we really add the most value for the professional, technical and sales-focused roles, as that’s what we’re most passionate about!
What size companies do you normally recruit for?It’s not the size that matters…it’s who you need that counts. Any size, any Aussie location. When we go searching for your next team member, we believe in finding you the ideal blend of knowledge, experience and cultural fit.

### How we help

How we work

		
	

	
		
			Complete HR & Recruitment support on speed dial

		
	
Sign me up
	
		
			We’re not the kind of HR team that hands out cookie-cutter solutions and sends you on your way. Working really closely with the leaders and teams in your business, we’ll support you with the full suite of customised HR services and outsourced recruitment to ensure you’re hitting the target every single time.

		
	

	
		
			HOW WE DO THINGS

		
	

	
		
			What makes us different?

		
	

	
		
			We’re driven by people & purpose
To us, HR is about people - not processes. Through getting to know the people behind your business, we’ll discover what really matters to them and help you find the best ways to motivate and inspire them in their roles.

		
	

	
		
			We’re not boring HR Consultants
We understand that not everyone gets as excited about HR as we do. And that’s okay! We take on the less-exciting stuff so you can get on with the things that really matter to you and your business.

		
	

	
		
			We actually give a cr#p
We’re really passionate about what we do and work hard to help you crush your goals. We also consider ourselves a part of your leadership team and only ever act in the best interests of your business.

		
	

	
		
			We’re dynamic & adaptive
We don't cookie-cut HR solutions. Instead, we really get to know you so we can deliver custom solutions that work towards your goals. We compliment your strengths with our own expertise and we scale as your business does.

		
	

	
		
			We bring corporate expertise (without the suits)
We’re corporate escapees who felt it was time to take all the good stuff we'd learnt (and throw away the bad) to help businesses of all shapes and sizes compete against the big guys. That’s why we do what we do every day.

		
	

	
		
			We’re your confidant
It’s lonely at the top - which is why we’re always here to chat things through. Whether you’ve got a specific problem at hand, are ready to scale your ops or want to explore new opportunities, you can rely on our expertise and discretion.

		
	

	
		
			FINDING YOUR COMPETITIVE EDGE

		
	

	
		
			Purple Playground’s 5Ps

		
	

	
		
			Understanding the connection between your people, purpose, performance, profit and positive impact is key to discovering your competitive edge.
Using this as our framework, we’ll help you to understand how each of these components impacts and interacts with each other to not only find your competitive edge, but leverage it to create the greatest outcome.

		
	

	
		
			


	
		
	
	
		
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
	
	


	
		
	
	
		
	
	
		
	
	
		
	


	
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
	
	


	
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
	
	


	
	
		
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
			
				
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
	


	
	
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
		
		
			
				
		
		
			
		
	



		
	

	
		
			People are more than just their measurable skills. Think emotional intelligence, culture-add and behavioural competencies. Encourage the diversity of thought and experience that each individual brings to the team.

		
	

	
		
			It's not just 'feel good stuff'. Consciously ensuring an aligned purpose between employees and the organisation leads to increased engagement, greater discretionary effort and better business outcomes.

		
	

	
		
			Leverage the intrinsic motivation of a purpose-led team to outperform your competitors. Set Objective Key Results (OKRs) to help connect the company, team and personal goals to measurable results and breed a high performance culture.

		
	

	
		
			With the right people on board, aligned purpose, and increased discretionary effort, you'll reap the rewards of lower productivity costs and increased profits.

		
	

	
		
			Be a purpose led business by making decisions based on more than just profit. Be a force for good...making a real difference in the world, leaving a positive personal and business legacy.

			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!

			BidWrite

		
	

	
		
			BidWrite is a tender response writing, training & advisory based in Brisbane. The team at BidWrite reached out to us initially off the back of a performance management problem with a team member. After identifying and actioning a proactive HR plan with their leaders, we uncovered their real challenge - the need for a better recruitment strategy. Helping them to attract new staff, manage performance once onboarded and build leadership capability has allowed them to build a stronger presence across 3 states and become more competitive in their field. We’re proud to have been working with BidWrite for over 12 months, helping them to recruit 6 fantastic Bid Consultants who are now integral members of their team.

			MOVUS

		
	

	
		
			MOVUS is a tech company prized with creating the world’s first installed condition monitoring solution. As the team expanded, MOVUS leaders identified the need for a solid HR solution that would help drive their organisational culture. Acknowledging the benefits of outsourcing rather than hiring internally, MOVUS got in touch with our team who have since helped them with their Human Resource Information System, leadership workshops, redundancies and general HR support. These services have allowed the team to respectfully downsize their operations due to COVID-19 and a downturn in business, and helped to create a more engaged workforce through various employee and leadership workshops.

			Macro Mike delivers deliciously clean treats to health-conscious people around Australia. In the beginning, their owner & founder had the common problem of trying to balance working in the business vs working on the business and recognised that they needed help setting up robust HR foundations to mitigate risk and scale the organisation sustainably. At this point, our team stepped in to help them with our proactive HR plan, as well as recruiting 7 superstar employees. This complete support package has allowed them to scale their business from a people and culture perspective, create a strong HR foundation from which to grow their people and performance, and organisational design to ensure they have the right structure in place to support continuing business growth.

		
	

	
		
		
			
		
	

	
		
			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!

			Wearthy are advocates of childhood play, dedicating their time to delivering bespoke, natural playgrounds to inspire creativity and curiosity in kids. While the leaders at Wearthy originally reached out for the HR performance suite and employee engagement program, we ended up supporting them with much more than that, including organisational design, building leadership capability, launching their new performance rhythm and more. After their initial project work, the team saw the amazing benefit of our proactive approach and joined our HR Plan on an ongoing basis, allowing us to build strong rapport with their team and turn reactive people processes into proactive, real world actions.

		
	

	
		
		
			
		
	

	
		
			Purple Playground is fantastic to work with and has helped us grow our team effectively this year. Sally, Marija, Jemma & Cara have been integral to our planning and management of people this year.

			Budget Pet Products found that as a business, they struggled to find the time for recruitment and needed specialist expertise to find key roles for their business. Calling on the knowledge of our experienced recruitment team, we were able to help them recruit 3 key leadership roles to better support their fast-paced work culture in a matter of just 6 months.

		
	

	
		
		
			
		
	

	
		
			The team at Purple playground have added tremendous value to our business throughout the recruitment process. By taking the time to truly understand our needs and matching suitable candidates it has helped us to recruit high quality candidates. I could not recommend them more highly to any business who needs support with the recruitment process.

It’s a true collaboration built on open, transparent communication - something I really value. Most importantly, I feel heard, valued, and seen as a person, and I love being part of a close-knit team that genuinely cares and strives to make a meaningful impact, both at work and beyond.

B1G1: Businesses for good

		
	

	
		
			Making a difference by doing what we do every day

		
	

	
		
			Purple Playground HR Team meeting Masami Sato - Founder of B1G1 & Paul Dunn - Co-Founder B1G1

		
	

	
		
		
			
		
	

	
		
			Purple Playground hosted a very special event for B1G1 right here on the Gold Coast. The inspirational Masami Sato, Founder of the global giving initiative Buy1GIVE1 shared her fascinating journey from her Japanese heritage, to being a entrepreneur and business owner whilst creating a pay-it-forward culture, all from scratch...and whilst giving birth to two beautiful children.
We also learnt from Paul Dunn on 'Why becoming a business for good is really great for your business". Together, Masami and Paul shared some key shifts and key numbers to articulate what it really takes to maximise our impact in today's meaning-driven world.

		
	

	
		
		
			
		
	

	
		
		
			
		
	

	
		
			We also learnt more about the new and innovative insights of the B1G1 platform that helps businesses seamlessly integrate meaningful impacts into their everyday business activities.
We encourage you to explore the benefits joining the impactful B1G1 Community today...and tell them Purple Playground sent you! https://b1g1.com/

		
	

	
		
			Creating impact sits at the heart of who we are as a business. We aim to do this every day with our clients, among our team and for those less fortunate around the world. As a part of the B1G1 movement, we’ve integrated the act of giving into our business model by committing to a donation for every daily achievement or key milestone we reach. From providing clean water and educational resources to supporting the families of hospitalised children, we’re really passionate about giving back for the good of those in greater need.
Learn more about B1G1 and how, together, we can become a real force for good.

		We’ve partnered with Brisbane-based eCommerce brands, FMCG businesses, health and wellness companies, and ethical startups who are serious about building high-performing teams.They come to us because they’re tired of traditional recruiters who just send through resumes and tag a big fee. They want a recruitment consultant in Brisbane who understands their industry, their goals, and what makes a candidate truly the right fit.And because we’re also experienced HR specialists, we don’t just aim to hire to ‘put a bum in seat’ — we hire for culture-add and longevity. That means stronger onboarding, clearer expectations, and a positive workplace culture that keeps great people around.
