Led a project which analysed the benefits of external training versus in-house for Graduates. Results favoured an in-house model with a detailed report submitted to the Board outlining the proposed introduction of an in-house training program. Expected savings were $15K in 2014 and $35K in 2015. Reformed the seasonal and graduate recruitment strategy with a mission statement to ‘think nationally, tailor locally’. Programs in 2010 - 2013 saw a dramatic increase in application numbers and a vast improvement in the calibre of candidates received. Strong retention within the junior-mid-year lawyer ranks was a noticeable result of this initiative. Developed and implemented tighter compliance and case management for personal leave (sick and carers) which included implementation of a new IT procedure, and regular reporting. This allowed Partners and Managers to proactively manage high users under the guidance of provided suggestions and strategies from HR to increase engagement and job satisfaction.
