SHIFT YOUR PEOPLE STRATEGY

who is shift hr?

Founded by Nick Gearen, SHIFT HR has a keen eye for innovation, specialising in modernising HR Operations, infusing agility into HR practices, and creating a vision for the future of HR in your business.

the mission

WHAT WE DO

  • HR Operations Excellence

    Optimising your HR processes, leveraging your existing technology and exploring other technology opportunities (for any budget), and implementing best practices to streamline and drive efficiency

  • Employee Lifecycle Enhancement

    From attracting top talent to fostering a culture of continuous development, I like to help businesses at every stage of the employment journey make a difference to the experience of your people

  • Employee Experience Evolution

    Prioritising creating a positive and engaging employee experience through strategies that align with your culture and values (handy hint - most of this is through your employee lifecycle and strategic alignment, and there are some real benefits here for the business AND the people)

    Embracing modern methodologies, structures, capabilities, and understanding of what your business actually needs - we can discuss and build a people function (however big or small!) that works for your business and budget.

  • HR Futurism

    Okay this one is just my personal passion - but I love to focus on new and upcoming trends and developments in the HR industry. the benefit for you, is I am always looking for ways to future-proof your HR strategies and stay ahead of the curve. While this one is more of a style than a offering, it's one that will help you to embed ways to stay on top of ever changing requirements, opportunities, and people strategies.

how we work

One-size-fits-all doesn’t exist

In this space, i'm not interested in out of the box solutions. There are too many variables and intricacies in business and people to throw you something that might not work and you won't have support in. I want to help you formulate something that works for you.

Measurable Results

I believe in measurable results, data driven insights and performance metrics. Can't be agile without the information, and so I like to have ways in advance to track our progress and refine.

Execution, and flexibility

Again a stylistic thing, but I like to embrace the agility and changing nature of business allowing me to pivot quickly, experiment, and adapt our strategies based on what's happening in the real world.

Fun and humanity

Maybe too much fun, but it's fun all the same. HR actually is a super incredible place to be, and it's hard to get stuck in the weeds. I like to make sure the process of elevating and moving into a new space is fun and inspiring. It's also people work, with other people. Getting to know each other and building meaningful connections is the foundation for our success.

Collaborative Spirit

I am a real collaborator. There won't be a person that doesn't feel included that's for sure. I work closely with you and your stakeholders to leverage your insights and expertise for meaningful outcomes.

Commercial

There is a real gap in the HR space in commercialising the HR strategy. It's not all fluff - and it has commercial impacts, I pride myself on being able to present and articulate the commercial realities and outcomes of the work we do, and i'll help you do it too.
