About Agile People Partners.
Human Resources is all about people. It’s right there in the name: ‘human’. And you couldn’t get any more human than the team at Agile.
A HR expert, an alpaca farmer, an ultra marathon runner, a mum, a wife, a WIRES volunteer and a PhD student – and that’s just our leader, Mel.
Agile’s approach is driven by years working closely with major brands, small businesses and individuals. But perhaps more importantly, it is informed by our lived experiences, the moments that have taught us empathy, compassion and understanding.
Combine this with robust strategic minds and rolled up sleeves, and you have a HR expert with a unique outlook.
OUR PERSPECTIVE
“Years ago, sitting in a paddock, surrounded by rustling, brown grass, I realised something. I’ve learned as much about people from alpacas, as I have learned from people.
Strange, right?
My career has involved more people than I can count. I’ve met with them, consoled them, coached them, guided them, strategised with them.
But it was working with alpacas that truly taught me how to listen to people. Not just to what they are saying, but importantly, to what they are not saying.
There is no one-size-fits all solution to HR, except listening. Really hearing what someone communicates, and understanding what they or their business needs, is the first step in finding the right path to any destination.
A lot of consultants claim to have the answers, but how many start by truly listening?

OUR RESPONSIBILITY
We want to give back! A big part of why we started Agile People Partners was to create an opportunity to share and put something real back into the discipline of consulting.
One of the ways we achieve this is to offer 5% off every repeat invoice to a charity of your choice. Your choice, not ours – we’re not telling you where to spend your hard-earned cash.
Simply email with the name and specifics on how to donate and we will do just that.
Want a 5% discount instead? Then you’re probably missing the point.
So help us put the heart back into HR!
