“The Fonterra Brands business has valued Rachael’s support. Rachael has been tremendous in providing experience and insights across multiple projects. These include strategic advice on complex commercial matters, change programs and employee relations support. We valued Rachael’s commercial know how and both practical as well as balanced approach in assisting with many complex projects. Rachael possesses an inordinate amount of initiative, focus and accountability. These attributes, combined with practical work experience, allowed her to effortlessly partner with us. She is a senior executive with significant strategic and tactical experience across a diverse range of functional areas. We valued her contributions and recognise the clear benefits the business has derived. I highly recommend Rachael to any company requiring any HR support and services ”
“Gordyn & Palmer contracted Gerlan Consulting to provide the latest compliant employee contracts for a range of staff members. We found Rachael to provide high quality and comprehensive contracts which have allowed our business to promote itself in a professional way to its staff. We now have policies and contracts that the Management and staff can have confidence and respect in. The support during the development process was excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending Gerlan Consulting to other businesses.”
“At ESR Group we often use Rachael as a sounding board for many HR related issues within the business; from employee relations advice, policy and procedure review, employment contract review, to advice on any Workcover issues. Our last project with Rachael was around making sense of the new Fair Work Act, the Modern Awards and how they impacted our business in particular. Rachael guided us through the complex changes and made us feel very comfortable that we were on the right track. She also provides direction on an ongoing basis should a serious HR issue arise; advising us where we stand, best course of action and how to avoid making costly mistakes. She’s very practical, has an excellent understanding of how businesses run, and is able to effectively communicate in plain language. We would recommend Rachael for any business large or small, she is especially helpful to those companies needing strategic advice and assistance who may not employ a full time HR Manager”
“Rachael worked with us for a period of six months - during which she was responsible for a complete review and overhaul of all policies, contracts & EBAs to ensure compliance with the Fair Work Act. Rachael completed this project ahead of time, and to a very high standard. But of even greater value were the strategic and tactical insights that she brought from her significant experience with other global organisations in senior leadership roles. The organisation has continued to engage Rachael on projects because of the quality and value of this approach. ”
