Our Services
Wherever you are in the climb, we have a path for you.
Most businesses only call HR when something goes wrong. We help you get ahead of it — building the foundations, systems, and capability that stop problems before they start.
Stop putting out fires. Start building something stronger.
Reactive HR is exhausting — chasing compliance, managing crises, and never quite catching up. Hemingway HR flips that. We work with you to build proactive people practices: clear policies, confident leaders, and the right structures in place before you need them. Less firefighting. More forward momentum.
The Framework
The Hemingway HR pathways of support
Five service products. One connected path.
Every service we offer maps to a stage of the climb — and every stage is designed to keep you moving forward, not just reacting to what's behind you. Whether you're finding your footing at Trailhead, building solid ground at Basecamp, navigating a difficult Ascent, developing capability along the Pathways, or reaching the Summit of leadership — we're with you every step of the way.

Practical, ready-to-use HR resources for business owners and managers.
Every climb starts somewhere. Trailhead is where you find your footing — downloadable HR training materials, print templates, and practical toolkits built for the realities of running a business.

Employment Relations Support
Practical advice on Fair Work obligations, Modern Awards, enterprise agreements, and managing employee issues — when you need it, not when it's convenient.

Hemingway Ascent
WISE-endorsed workplace investigations — fair, thorough, and procedurally sound.
Investigations are sensitive. They require careful, experienced guidance through difficult terrain — and the confidence that comes from knowing the process is sound. Hemingway Ascent provides WISE-endorsed workplace investigation services that protect your business and your people.

Guidance on implementing findings, managing affected parties, and rebuilding team trust after a difficult investigation.

Performance review training — an ongoing route of development, not a one-off event.
Pathways is about continuous progress. We build the capability your managers need to have the conversations that matter — performance reviews, development planning, and the day-to-day coaching that keeps people growing.

Equip your managers to set clear expectations, give meaningful feedback, and manage underperformance — done right, every time.

Hemingway Summit
Leadership development — where capability, confidence, and culture come together.
Summit is the peak of the journey. Leadership training that's grounded, aspirational, and built for the real world — not the classroom. We help your leaders show up at their best, even in the toughest conditions. A small rhododendron blooms near the summit — growth is possible even here.
Leadership Development Programs
Structured programs for managers and senior leaders — building the self-awareness, communication skills, and strategic thinking that define great leadership.

Hemingway HR — Outsourced & Project
Your HR department — without the overhead
Not every business needs a full-time HR manager. But every business needs great HR. Whether you need someone to step in for a specific project, cover a gap, or act as your ongoing outsourced HR function — we embed into your business and get it done.
Outsourced HR Function
We act as your HR department — handling day-to-day people matters, compliance, documentation, and strategic advice. You get senior HR expertise without the full-time salary.
Project-Based HR
A specific HR project with a defined scope and timeline — restructures, policy overhauls, onboarding system builds, award interpretation reviews, or anything else that needs focused attention.
HR Discovery Review
Not sure where your HR gaps are? We conduct a thorough review of your current people practices, compliance position, and documentation — then give you a clear, prioritised action plan. Think of it as an HR health check with real teeth.
Policies & Procedures
Clear, compliant, plain-English policies tailored to your business — not generic templates. From individual policies to a complete employee handbook, we build the documentation your business needs to operate with confidence.
Policies and procedure templates are also available in the Template Library for businesses that want to self-implement. Recruitment isn't something we deliver directly — but we work with trusted recruitment partners we're happy to introduce you to.
Talk to us about your projectHemingway HR — Employee Wellbeing
Workplaces where people actually want to show up
Wellbeing isn't a ping-pong table and a fruit bowl. It's the culture, the systems, and the leadership that make people feel safe, valued, and able to do their best work. We help you build it — practically, sustainably, and in a way that actually sticks.
Psychosocial Safety
Identify and address psychosocial hazards in your workplace — workload, poor leadership, bullying, and role ambiguity. We help you meet your WHS obligations and build a genuinely safe culture.
Wellbeing Strategy & Programs
Design and implement a wellbeing strategy that goes beyond tick-box compliance. We help you understand what your people actually need and build programs that make a measurable difference.
Culture & Engagement
Understand what's really happening in your workplace through confidential surveys, pulse checks, and focus groups — then act on the data in a way that builds trust, not just reports.
Manager Capability
Most wellbeing issues start with management. We build the skills your leaders need to have difficult conversations, support struggling team members, and create the conditions for people to thrive.
Hemingway PRINT™
The most powerful people tool you've never heard of — and the one that changes everything.
Most assessments tell you what people do. PRINT® tells you why. Developed by The Paul Hertz Group over three decades, PRINT® uncovers the unconscious motivators that drive every person's behaviour their Best Self, their Shadow, and their triggers. As a PRINT® Practitioner currently completing certification with The Paul Hertz Group, Adelle is bringing this transformational tool to Australian businesses ready to stop guessing and start understanding their people at a deeper level.
Beyond DISC. Beyond Myers-Briggs. Beyond StrengthsFinders.
Conventional assessments describe observable behaviour they tell you what someone does. PRINT® goes deeper, addressing the root cause of persistent issues by uncovering the unconscious motivations behind behaviour. That's the difference between correlation and causation. And it's why PRINT® delivers results that other tools simply can't.
How PRINT® Works
Unconscious Motivators®
Every person is driven by core unconscious needs. PRINT® identifies yours — and your team's — so you can understand why people behave the way they do, especially under pressure.
Best Self
When your unconscious needs are met, you show up as your Best Self — engaged, productive, and at your most effective. PRINT® helps you create the conditions for this to happen consistently.
Shadow Behaviour
When needs go unmet, people slip into Shadow — the defensive, counterproductive behaviours that derail teams and damage culture. PRINT® makes the invisible visible, so you can address it.
Triggers
Triggers are the situations that push people into Shadow. Understanding your team's triggers is the key to preventing conflict, reducing turnover, and building psychological safety.

HR as a force for good — everywhere.
Working around the world, Adelle has witnessed first-hand the devastating impact of trafficking and vulnerability on women and children.

Every resource purchased, every leadership program delivered, contributes to bringing HR training and education to the organisations and communities that need it most.
Passion
A lived commitment to the dignity and potential of every woman and child — born from years of working in communities where opportunity is scarce.
Purpose
PRINT™ exists to do more than sell templates. It exists to fund and deliver leadership training to vulnerable communities globally.

Impact
Measurable, meaningful change. Every purchase creates a ripple — from an Australian boardroom to a community halfway around the world.
