HR that understands people, not just policy.
I’m Simone Pickering.
I work with organisations who want to get HR right – not just to stay compliant, but to create workplaces where people can do their best work.
I’m an HR consultant with over two decades of experience across recruitment, workforce management, and organisational support.
I’ve worked with businesses through growth, change, pressure, and complexity – particularly in regional and resource-driven environments where leadership decisions carry weight.
What I’ve learned is simple.
Good HR doesn’t sit in documents.
It shows up in everyday decisions.
My approach is human-centred and grounded in structure.
I don’t believe in performative culture initiatives or surface-level solutions. I believe in clarity, leadership accountability, and systems that support people to work well together.
Culture exists wherever there’s a group of people.
A healthy one doesn’t happen by accident.
It’s designed.
I work closely with leaders, not around them.
That means asking the right questions, challenging assumptions when needed, and offering advice that considers compliance, risk, and human impact equally.
Clients work with me because they want:
• Straight conversations
• Thoughtful guidance
• Support that fits their organisation, not a template
The People & Culture Office was created to make HR easier to navigate – without stripping it of meaning.
We support organisations through:
• HR compliance and ongoing support
• Employee engagement and experience surveys
• Culture and leadership initiatives
• Recruitment that aligns with future capability
Everything we do is designed to bring clarity and confidence back to leadership decisions.
If you’re looking for HR support that feels grounded, practical, and aligned to the experience you want to create at work, I’d love to talk.
