Challenge

Lack of structured HR processes, compliance risks, and limited HR expertise


Background

Our client, a growing medical practice with 9 employees, was struggling with unstructured HR processes, compliance concerns, and a junior Admin officer who is tasked with all HR related tasks with limited HR experience. They had inconsistent policies and employee onboarding, and no clear HR strategy to support their business growth. They needed expert HR project management to bring structure, compliance, and efficiency to their HR function without hiring a full-time HR team.


Project Approach

At HRxP Consulting, we apply a strategic project management approach to HR challenges, ensuring solutions are not just implemented but embedded into the business for long-term success. We used a four-step approach to ensure we achieved lasting outcomes.  


  1. Mentorship and Resource Alignment

  2. Mentored the Admin officer to develop confidence and capability in handling daily HR operations.

  3. Reviewed available HR resources (existing policies, contracts, and compliance documents) to assess gaps.

  4. Identified compliance risks and areas requiring immediate action.


  1. Strategy and Solution Development

  2. Designed a custom HR strategy aligned with business goals.

  3. Developed a compliance roadmap to meet Fair Work and Work Health & Safety (WHS) requirements.

  4. Created an HR support system including clear processes for onboarding, performance management, and policy implementation.


  1. Implementation and Process Integration

  2. Developed and embedded HR policies and procedures that were practical and easy for the team to follow.

  3. Trained the HR/Admin officer and business leaders on using the new HR framework.

  4. Introduced automated HR tools to streamline employee records and compliance tracking.


  1. Embedding solutions for long-term success

  2. Conducted ongoing mentorship and check-ins to support the Admin officer in managing HR fairly autonomously.

  3. Established a feedback loop to refine processes as the business scaled.

  4. Ensured the business not only implemented changes but truly benefited from them through improved efficiency and risk management.


Business impact

Through strategic project management in HR, HRxP Consulting successfully transformed a disorganised, high-risk HR environment into a structured, compliant, and scalable HR function. By combining mentorship, process development, and seamless implementation, we ensured that HR is not just a function, but a value-driving component of the business.
