Background

About Annie Gale

I believe the key to staff engagement and contentment is implementing transformation at a strategic policy level that ensures staff feel valued and I have spent my career getting this right all over the world.I am not only extensively experienced in the full scope of HR delivery at a senior level but also internationally, which has led to a vast knowledge of legislation and makes me comfortably fluent in a range of cultures. I also have great French language skills. Once you have managed the HR provision for a university and successfully negotiated the ups and downs of a pandemic you can overcome anything. RMIT saw an increase in employee engagement during this time, due to robust and open communication in which I played a key role, as well as supporting staff well being but with the strength to make the right decisions for the business when needed.My core skill areas are as follows:People Strategy – Well respected and trusted leader who puts people first, but also in context. Strong belief in forming strategies that benefit the business and support employees.Employee Engagement – Listens and understands what people need using engagement surveys, robust exit surveys and an open-door policy with HR.Cultural Transformation – Uses data gathered from staff to make so all staff feel valued. Ensuring policies are fair and meet all legislative requirements.Change Management – Spearheads change that is productive and effective with a clear vision for outcomes and onboarding others to the same goals.Leadership – A firm but fair leader who is known for empowering others to excel. Listens to ideas but decisive and able to make business critical decisions swiftly in challenging circumstances.Building strong relationships – Naturally builds rapport and has an intuitive skill for understanding people. Using empathy and understanding to engage and build trust with anyone including stakeholder and partners.As an astute and highly knowledgeable international leader in HR with in-depth operational experience I am always interested in networking with others in my sector, so please feel free to click connect.
