Case Study 1: CleanCo Queensland – Building the HR Function from the Ground Up
Challenge:
CleanCo Queensland, a new player in the power generation industry, needed to establish its HR function from scratch in a high-risk, highly unionised environment. The challenge was to lay the foundation for employee relations, industrial relations, and organisational structure, while ensuring compliance with industrial agreements and preparing for complex union negotiations.
Solution:
As a start-up HR leader at CleanCo, Tom McAtee co-led the development of the HR function. This involved building the framework for employee relations and industrial relations, creating policies and processes that aligned with the organisation’s long-term goals. We also ensured that enterprise bargaining agreements were compliant with the industry’s regulations, laying the groundwork for future negotiations with unions.
Outcome:
The HR foundation established at CleanCo enabled the organisation to successfully navigate its early growth stages. CleanCo now operates with a strong, compliant HR infrastructure that continues to manage employee relations and industrial negotiations effectively.
Case Study 2: Leading Workforce Transformation at DrayCo
Challenge:
At DrayCo, significant organisational changes were necessary due to market shifts, requiring workforce restructuring and the renegotiation of key industrial agreements. The challenge was to manage this transformation while maintaining productivity and ensuring compliance with industrial instruments.
Solution:
As the Chief People Officer for this industrial organisation, Tom McAtee led the workforce transformation by developing a strategic plan that included change management processes, clear communication strategies, and a proactive approach to employee engagement. Key to this transformation was negotiating new enterprise agreements that balanced employee needs with the organisation’s financial realities.
Outcome:
The transformation was completed successfully, with minimal disruption to operations. The new enterprise agreements provided stability for both the business and employees, and the change management strategy resulted in high levels of employee engagement throughout the process.
Case Study 3: Executive Remuneration Overhaul at YanCo
YanCo, a mid-sized mining business, needed to overhaul its executive remuneration structure to remain competitive in the market while ensuring it aligned with the company’s long-term strategic goals. The existing framework was outdated, leading to challenges in talent retention and recruitment.
Solution:
We conducted a comprehensive review of the existing executive remuneration packages and developed a new framework that included competitive base salaries, performance-driven short-term incentives (STIs), and long-term incentive plans (LTIPs) that aligned with the organisation’s growth objectives. The new structure was designed to attract and retain top talent while maintaining financial sustainability.
Outcome:
The new executive remuneration framework resulted in improved talent retention and recruitment. By aligning incentives with business performance, YanCo experienced a measurable increase in executive engagement and a stronger alignment between leadership performance and business outcomes.
