Simple, Practical, Expert HR Support

You don’t need to be a policy expert to be a great leader. You just need a trusted HR partner who understands the rules,  guide you through the hard conversations, and help you make decisions with confidence.

At Purple Playground, we partner with founders, managers, and business owners across the Sunshine Coast who want to lead with intention. As your go-to HR specialist on the Sunshine Coast, we’ll help you put people systems in place that protect your business, improve team engagement, and grow with you.

Our Team

Virtual, but Truly Connected

We work 100% remotely, so you get expert support without the cost of hiring a full-time HR manager. We’re flexible, responsive, and just a Zoom or phone call away.

Whether you’re onboarding in Coolum, updating leave policies in Buderim, or handling a performance issue in Nambour, our team is ready to support you.  We’re here for you as we’re based in South East Queensland ourselves.

Looking for HR recruiter services on the Sunshine Coast too? We can help you attract and retain the right talent through outcome-focused hiring strategies that support your long-term goals.

HR FAQS

Everything you want to know

Absolutely! This is the way we work 90% of the time. We have clients based all around Australia, and what makes it so seamless is having access to a quality Human Resource Information System (HRIS) like our fav, Employment Hero.

We sure can. We’ll work with you and your employee to uncover the underlying concerns and create a solution that ultimately achieves the best possible outcome for all.

We offer the same level of support as an internal HR team. We do this by providing our clients access to an experienced HR Manager and a HR Consultant, backed by a complete team of HR professionals. We cover everything from HR Strategy and building leadership capability to generalist HR support spanning across all areas of the employee lifecycle.

We’re all about being proactive, mitigating your employer-related risks and driving a positive people and culture agenda. We may operate via an outsourced model but we are thought of as your very own HR Team. That’s why our Premium Services are not for everyone. We all know the saying ‘you get what you pay for,’ so unlike traditional HR Consultants, we work with a proactive mindset and partner with you for a minimum term to really get some traction and make a difference.

Don’t worry, it’s more affordable than you think! With the skills and expertise of a whole experienced team, you get a great return on investment.

We add the most value when we get to know your business and team culture over time. But we also hate saying no to business leaders in need, so let’s have a chat to see what you’re after and explore ways we can help.
