The Challenge: Building a strong team
A focus on staff has led to better employee retention and greater results for the business
Throughout Bronwyn's career, both as an accountant and in a management role, she has seen how central people are to the performance of an organisation. Since assuming the managing partner role, her belief in the importance of having the right people in the right roles has solidified further.
'The biggest challenge is always your people. As a professional services firm, we are very people-focused anyway, it's all about your people, If you don't have the right people in the right places it can all fall down around you.' said Bronwyn.
After taking on this role, Bronwyn has implemented a number of different strategies to build the team within the organisation. Addressing this challenge has formed a key part of her management strategy within the company.
The Solution: Focusing on mentoring and employee development
'Mentoring is the next big process. We have a mentoring program within the firm where we ensure they are getting to whatever level they need. Beyond that is when I get involved directly. That means ensuring they can move from an accountant role to a manager and to a partner role.'
The Results: Constant innovation to match changing tastes and creating meaningful opportunities for staff
'The one-to-ones we do with our TEC Chair, once a month are also great. They let us voice our issues and work through solutions for our businesses.'
