What they say about us

HRworkbench is unique in blending years of HR experience and practical market knowledge with online technology. We understand your environment and use this understanding to provide you with automated measurement and development solutions that compliment and extend existing good practice. Our Platforms allow you to concentrate on the work of performance improvement and eliminate administration hassles and end-user barriers.

Our Business Philosophy

At HRworkbench we know that people make or break businesses and we know how to use that knowledge.

The challenge for organisations today is the ability to attract and retain talent. If your talent walks out the door, not only does the organisation lose that talent, but all too often they lose it to the competition. Developing strategies to attract the right people, keep them highly motivated and loyal is one of today's biggest challenges.

We provide solutions that help you to overcome this challenge. Our range of Platforms gives you the power to develop strategies that will attract and retain the right people and ensure they are working at their optimal performance level. Examples include our:

  • Online recruitment process with its unique ability to sift and sort by experience and competence
  • Wide portfolio of 360-degree questionnaires, surveys, and behavioural questionnaires for which the reports not only identify areas for improvement but also facilitate the planning of development
  • Blended learning and performance management software that focus development and real on-the-job performance improvement.

We are also strongly committed to customer service. Not only do we offer blended learning programs in customer service: we practice what we preach. Our personal, dedicated customer support is valued by all our clients as a major factor in the success of our relationships. See What they say about us

Our History

Significantly HRworkbench has been developed by HR Professionals with years of experience in the global Human Resource Industry. This means that we are not just another IT shop. We talk your language, we understand your needs, and we interpret this into an intuitive experience and easy-to-use interface.

In 1991, Alan and Christine Rands took their 15 years of experience in running a successful HR Consultancy and started to provide solutions for other consultancies. They identified that the Internet would ultimately provide global markets for many products and services and decided that HRworkbench should focus on a multi-lingual philosophy when developing its systems.

Based on this premis, the company developed a delivery platform on the internet for multi-lingual Human Resource management systems to solve problems encountered by HR professionals on a day-to-day basis. HR practitioners can embed their own intellectual property into the high-powered Platform, or use Intellectual Property provided by "thought leaders" around the Globe.

In 1996-97 the founders won National Awards for training design for their "Blended Learning" competency based training curriculum.

In December 2001, HRworkbench was admitted into the prestigious Australian Technology Showcase (ATS). They were finalists in the Patrons Awards and Investor Ready Awards in 2002. The ATS, is a program initiated by the NSW Government's Department of State and Regional Development to provide a channel through which Australian technologies can promote themselves to the world markets.

All of our Products and Business Systems are provided through the one integrated platform to provide users with the measurement and development they want, on their desktop, when they want it and in their own language.
