Monjon Australia Pty Ltd

  I was responsible for all aspects of the HR process of the business, which employs 250+ staff. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director, this role was specifically created for my skills. The key to success for this role is to ensure that HR systems and procedures were created and implemented to assist with the business’s strategic growth.

I was also the Quality Assurance Manager, ensuring that our accreditation of ISO 9001 was maintained. During the re-accreditation audit I was able to increase the scope to include the RTO and our Security Electronics Division. Within the Training business I was responsible for the business as a whole unit. Since commencing in this role I increased sales by 520 percent through developing ongoing relationships. I increased the scope to further align with the business needs allowing us to train our own staff rather than only relying on outsourcing. I secured Government funding for the first time in Monjon's history with the Victorian Training Guarantee. I was responsible for VRQA and Licencing Regulation Division (Victoria Police, for Security courses) and ensuring compliance is met at all times. Maintaining an effective P&L of the business whilst increasing revenue and reducing costs was a key focus. Develop and implement training schedule to reduce ‘down time’ and increase training room productivity proved to be a great strategy. Show less
