The HREC Story
EXTRACTS FROM 'ON THE SAME PAGE'
There are Chief People Officers in amazing roles, but everyone's just doing their own thing to contribute. It doesn't matter who you are or what your role is. Everyone has a question, and people are willing to share an answer
Emma Brennan
Head of HR, Telstra Health
I was blown away by the community – the openness and willingness to share and help each other have continued long past the initial reaction of COVID
Bree Robinson
HR Director, Royal Canin
I find the vulnerabilities quite breath-taking in the sharing of people's personal journeys. That's what resonated for me. I see those things almost daily

VP HR, Pacific and North East Asia Division, ASSA ABLOY Group
Dozens of HR Directors
from our most complex organisations
teamed together at a key turning point
along the way, they re-imagined how top teams talk today
In November 2019, we started out on a journey to create a values-led network of HR Directors. We called ourselves the ‘HREC’ (formerly called ‘HRET’). No one could have predicted what happened next.
In the face of the greatest disruption of our generation, over 200+ HR Directors from some of our biggest brands and fastest growing organisations teamed together. Sometimes it was for support, sometimes to stay one step ahead, all the while, rapidly redefining the rules of how we team together within our organisations.
Based on exclusive interviews from over 50 HR Directors, ‘On the Same Page, Five Conversations for Leading Team Performance’ is a book that shares more than a journey. It captures the key learnings of our tribe into a series of five actionable team conversations that you can use today.
In ‘On the Same Page’, Justine Figo teaches us that there is no single answer, no hero leader who can keep the weight of the world on their shoulders any more. To succeed, we must have co-empowering conversations. We do this not just by speaking up, but by learning how to truly listen to each other in the first place. It means reducing meaningless meetings, ditching micromanagement and genuinely pulling together, wherever you may be working today.

Conversations for Team Performance

In a company with fewer than a thousand employees in Australia, every single role matters. It involves making sure that the behaviours of each individual are not just individual – but they're working as a team to get the best results

Rather than looking too hard for silver bullets and gimmicky solutions, why don't we go back to basics and just talk to people using our own voice box
