Human Resources Director

Human Resources Directors are responsible for the strategic direction, productivity, and costings of an organisation’s workforce. They generally work alongside the General Manager and support departmental heads as they manage their people.

As a Human Resources Director you’ll be driving organisational culture — developing strategies that address staff turnover, morale, safety, training and compliance. You’ll need outstanding leadership and interpersonal skills.
