Carlie Pollock

Carlie is an accomplished senior-level HR generalist having worked in the field for over 15 years working within organisations and more recently, consulting to them. Her industry experience includes financial services, retail, mining, legal, pharmaceutical and transport.

Some of Carlie’s career highlights include working in a Sydney-based financial institution to reduce their turnover and the associated costs. This involved conducting focus groups across the organisation to tease out the areas of dissatisfaction and implementing strategies to build engagement. The result? A 20% reduction in turnover.

Carlie was also instrumental in creating and implementing a new organisational structure for a prominent legal firm featuring outcome-based job designs. This work was then supported by a new succession plan, mentoring program and performance development plan.

On her most recently assignment with a mining company, Carlie has been successful in decentralising Human Resource systems and processes to site locations. This has involved an extensive change management program including considerable process reengineering and training needs analysis. The result will represent a huge cost saving to the organisation.

Carlie has got a great blend of attributes – someone said of her recently, “she gets the big picture but gets things happening”. She’s no-nonsense, task-focused and results-oriented, with all the people skills necessary to ensure that the people are engaged in the process and own the outcomes.
