If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and strategic HR partner in the Pilbara, Beyond The Curve Consulting is here to support your business. We offer a full suite of services designed to support businesses at every stage. Our services include:
Designed to support newly established businesses that lack the time or know-how to set up effective HR structures, the start-up package will ensure that your business is on track to succeed from the beginning (or close to it!).
This package will give you a solid foundation for development and expansion. It includes a full suite of company policies and working templates, all relevant to your industry.
Engage us to manage your staffing needs. This package is a ‘per role’ investment that supports all aspects of the recruitment process – from posting the job advertisement to reviewing applications, interviewing candidates, making recommendations and offers, and onboarding your new staff member.
We consider prospective team members' skills, experience, and ability to fit with your organisation's culture, thus increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Complaints, alleged misconduct, safety incidents, or other negative events may require a workplace investigation. Employers must conduct such an investigation fairly, ethically, and legally, so it’s worth engaging professional, independent assistance.
The team at Beyond the Curve will work with you to ensure that you operate within legal requirements and your company values while supporting any impacted staff.
In the words of Brene Brown, ‘Clear is kind.’ The Performance Evaluation Framework (PEF) aims to achieve clarity!
For workers to perform at their best, they first need to know exactly what is expected of them. In this framework, the client will be taken on a journey from identifying and creating KPIs that link to organisational strategy to creating meaningful and impactful probation and annual reviews. We can also conduct 360 surveys if relevant to your business.
In cases where intervention is required to address substandard employee performance, we can provide informal coaching, formal performance management, or a path to termination. Throughout the process, we offer guidance and assistance, ensuring that you meet all your statutory obligations and that your staff is engaged and working at a high level.
Are your staff fully engaged and working to their potential? Our accredited trainers and coaches can help you upskill your employees and leaders and ensure they’re up-to-date with best practices in HR and leadership. We offer engaging and interactive training sessions in areas including:
Organisational coaching, initiated by either the employee or the organisation, is designed to help individuals achieve the outcomes they want to achieve. Through an agreed-upon number of coaching sessions, individuals work on areas of interest or challenge to unlock their potential and increase performance.
Organisational coaching can help your organisation to:
Investing in the training and coaching of your staff and leadership group will help build strong morale and help retain the best people. The world’s leading organisations engage external coaches to accelerate the development of their best and brightest—it’s a worthwhile investment!
Conflict in the workplace can impact the work environment and culture. Mediation is an excellent option in which a neutral person works with both parties in dispute to reach an agreement or settlement. The mediator can help the parties discover an alternative point of view, which may resolve the matter.
Lana is trained in mediation and dispute resolution and finalised her accreditation through the Resolution Institute.
Executive coaching is invaluable for leaders aiming to enhance their leadership skills, navigate new roles, or embrace greater organisational responsibilities. The primary goal is to reveal blind spots, recognise strengths, and develop the confidence to make informed, strategic decisions.
Our program is perfect for executives, managers, and leaders who want to:
