Jenna describes herself as a juggler of life: she’s a busy business owner, mum and someone who always has random health matters pop up needing attention. But fear not – none of that stops her living her best life!
“All businesses need to have a simplistic, but robust, employee handbook. It’s really the bible on all people matters for a business and it sets the tone, expectations and boundaries of the employment relationship from day one.”
Renee is always looking to book the next getaway somewhere warm for some R&R!

Jacqui rides motorbikes and loves experiencing the freedom and excitement of the open road.
“All businesses need to have employment contracts in place. They’re essential for setting out the terms and conditions of employment and for protecting both the employer and the employee. They also need to be compliant with workplace law requirements and tailored to individual businesses.”
Olivia is known to be out exploring on weekends, whether that’s a hike in the mountains or checking out a beachside town.
“I believe all businesses need a strong performance development framework. It’s not just for managing performance, but to ensure they’re keeping their employees challenged and engaged in their work and professional development. The value of an enriched employee should never be underestimated within good business.”
Molly loves being out in the sun, whether that means being on a walk with friends, or reading a book out in nature.
“Every business needs clear expectations, consistent people practices, and open communication. These foundations help create accountability, support employees, and keep teams working effectively.”
