Renee has played a pivotal role in helping drive profound cultural change at FWPA over the past 2 years. Renee’s honest, empathetic and consultative approach, combined with her knowledge of “best practice” in people & culture management have been critical in enabling this transformation. I would recommend Renee unreservedly to any organisation that is committed to achieving performance improvement through meaningful change.
Andrew Leighton: CEO, Forest and Wood Products Australia

Renee supported our organisation with a range of Human Resources and Organisational Development activities over a period of six months. She came up to speed quickly and smoothly adapted into our organisational style and added value from her first day. Her broad knowledge, deep experience and expertise combined with a highly consultative and respectful approach saw her embraced by stakeholders at all levels of our organisation across the Asia Pacific region. I would not hesitate to recommend Renee’s services."
Amy Garden: Global Head of People, Rizing | Rizing

For the past six months, we have collaborated closely with Renee, and during this relatively brief period, she has made a remarkable impact by providing immense value, guidance, and resources to our business. As she embarked on structuring our organisation and establishing a framework to support our expanding operations, Renee prioritised gaining a comprehensive understanding of our head office team members through methodical analysis, rather than immediately focussing on 'fixing' the issues. Her genuine empathy and caring nature have established wonderful connections with every individual she has worked with here. We eagerly anticipate the continuation of our partnership with her.

Renee has provided people and culture advice to Working Heritage since 2019. Her analysis of our organisational needs was the foundation of a successful restructure and the positive transformation of our workplace culture. Renee is sharp, curious and creative in her approach that sits on top of a thorough understanding of the statutory context. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I recommend Renee to anyone wanting to grow their business in a meaningful way and look forward to many years working together. Thank you for everything."

The partnership approach you took to develop a refreshed and contemporary induction program resulted in a product that was bespoke to the workplace and a great way to welcome our new starters. Thank you."
