Converga is a Business Process Outsourcing company with 1300 employees globally and offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Manilla and Chicago.
Issue Faced
Converga’s HR Manager has resigned and the company was about to undergo an acquisition integration. Given the circumstances, it made little sense for the organisation to recruit for a replacement; although, there were still key HR functions that needed to be addressed, such as remuneration & performance reviews and maintenance of the general HR function.
Solution
The People Scene was engaged in a consulting capacity for three months at four days per week to address the key issues faced. During that time the remuneration and performance review cycles were completed. The People Scene worked onsite with the CEO and executive management to ensure continuity with key activities, leading the HR function and working with the remaining HR staff and the operations function based in Manilla.
Outcome
The business continued to function without missing a beat in the HR space. The People Scene supported the transition of the incoming HR team from the parent company while maintaining the HR function and progressing the key tasks of the various reviews.

“We engaged Claire at The People Scene to take on our HR function for Australia during a critical time for our business. Our HR Manager had resigned and we were very close to an acquisition integration. Claire’s dedication to our business was exemplary and she was able to see us through crucial business tasks including our annual performance review process and our remuneration review. Her professionalism, dedication, ability to fit in with the team and extensive knowledge of the Australian employment landscape lead us through this time. I would certainly recommend Claire and The People Scene to any business which requires strong people leadership and guidance to navigate the people landscape”. |
