Creating human friendly workplaces.
(Virtually, in person and shared spaces).
Where positive culture thrives and businesses grow!
We create human friendly workplaces by having inclusion and culture at the heart of everything we do. It’s in our DNA!
We know that when an organisation intentionally design great places to work—through a focus on people, culture, inclusion and development, and more—the organisation thrives.
We pride ourselves on delivering outcomes and not just outputs, and we measure our success by you achieving your success measures. We work with large and small teams/organisations and bring entrepreneurial thinking to large environments.
Our human-centred methodology
A Human Agency takes a collaborative approach in everything we do when working with our clients. Our mission is to ensure that our strategies, solutions and programs are specifically designed and delivered to add value to your business + all the people who work there. We call it our Five D’s. It all starts by understanding the problem, risk or opportunity from all perspectives. We’re all ears in the discovery phases, listening and learning what will make a real impact. Then we swing into action! Nothing makes us happier than when people say “A-HA!”…
Data.
Nothing tells a story like good data
A clear picture of the current state creates a base line upon which progress can be measured, Don’t have data? No problem, we’ve got a few tools in our kit bag that we can use to assess the current state.
Diagnose.
Got blindspots that need a light shone on them?
We interrogate both qualitative and quantitative data to extract meaningful insights about what’s working well + red flags for areas that might need attention.
Discover.
Want to hear how things are really going?
Employees are usually one of the best sources of information. We all know diverse thinking is the secret to in novation - but people aren’t often given a forum to voice their perspectives and ideas honestly.
Design.
Armed with all the information.
The next steps is to build a strategic framework which incorporates the findings from quant/qualitative research and includes recommendations from best practice research + employee suggestions. A good strategy then needs an action plan and measurable outcomes to make change happen.
Deliver.
Let’s get to work and make it happen!
A-HA can do the delivery or partner with you to get it done. Capability and capacity are the key ingredients for successful delivery and we can work with you to make sure you have an abundance of both.
Thrive in any circumstance!
Sometimes we can’t avoid the disruption and turmoil that businesses face, but what we can control is the planning and strategy of that business, to ensure our people and business can remain aligned to purpose.

Testimonials
Early on in our Diversity journey we looked to A-HA to provide their expertise and partner with us to help us drive the right initiatives for the right business and people outcomes. Today Diversity at Boral is more than a statutory requirement. Our agenda is now set for Diversity & Inclusion to become a fully integrated organisational initiative.
Kathy MackayGroup Learning Manager - Boral 
A-HA provides the right combination of knowledge, experience and humanness to bring about real strategies for improving our capabilities to deliver on strategy. In an industry that is evolving rapidly, and in an organisation with diverse roles and responsibilities, we needed a partner that could understand our challenges and opportunities and work with all of our people—including our Board, CEO, management and employees. This was specifically to support us on a Diversity & Inclusion program. A-HA are genuine people who approach every person and every challenge with integrity, listening and understanding, while also using their expert knowledge to influence and lead everyone towards the outcomes we need for growth. A-HA’s human-centred approach, coupled with their commercial acumen, makes them a go-to for any organisation seeking to improve their business through real Diversity & Inclusion.

Thank you again, A-HA, for managing such a successful Fishbowl session at the Diversity Forum last week! We couldn’t have done it without you and we really appreciate the work and energy that you put into everything.

Being a small company, it is sometimes hard to set-up, establish even keep on top of the ever-changing day to day running of a business, especially when it comes to Human Resources. A-HA has provided our company with valuable HR support and information which has enabled the business to grow knowing we are doing the right thing for our business and our staff. From assisting us with the implementation of workplace policies and procedures to providing advice and strategies to enhance our business performance, we have found Katriina and Katie from A-HA to be an essential partner in our business and would highly recommend them. Thank you for your knowledge and expertise, we look forward to having a long working relationship with A-HA.
Belinda MuggletonDirector Sales & Marketing, Dental Axess 
Being in a standalone People & Culture role can be isolating at times especially navigating through the unprecedented COVID period. A-H-A has given me valuable support and has provided me with thorough information on various policies and advice on employee relations matters which have mitigated risk to the business and enhanced our overall performance. Thank you Katie and Katriina - I highly recommend AHA.

AHA has been a trustworthy and great HR partner for Keysight Australia as HR Consultant since 2018. The strong support enables smooth HR operation in Keysight Australia.
Kar In CheahKeysight, Australia’s HR Manager, Malaysia 
I have regularly referred my clients to A-HA where they have required urgent assistance to improve poor working relationships, or turn around difficult workplace cultures. They have never disappointed.
Michael MichalandosPartner, Baker Mckenzie 
We engaged A-HA to build, design and lead a complex strategic workforce planning project. They mapped our whole workforce as it was currently and how it may look in 3 years. They analysed potential and future risks, benchmarked the data and ran workshops to ensure leadership team engagement and ownership of insights and action planning. Throughout the 6 months project, the team at A-HA were professional and a pleasure to work with. We now have a customised workforce planning tool, internal capacity to continue running workforce planning, a comprehensive analysis of the underlying capabilities of all 2,500 employees mapped against criticality and risk rating and divisional action plans for future proofing the organisation against identified risks. We would highly recommend A-HA for your workforce planning needs.
