Welcome to
Heron Cove Group
Professional human resources services and solutions that are accessible and affordable.
Heron Cove provides human resources services to small and medium enterprises. We focus on two niche services.
Heron Cove SME acts as a nimble, high performing, on demand Human Resources function. It’s like having a fully functional human resources department that you only mobilise as needed. We can onboard, manage performance, engage teams, address retention, and more.
Heron Cove Strategic Provides practical best practice solutions that take your business forward. This allows you to punch above your weight, leveraging strategy when and where you need it without paying overhead when you don’t. We can assist with organisational design, management and leadership development, business improvement, and change management.
“Best practice solutions don’t need to be complex. In fact the most elegant solutions are simple and easy to understand.”
Our services are surprisingly affordable. We charge an hourly rate for services with a reliable estimate of fees. Our rates are realistically geared to the SME clients that we service. Our breadth and depth experience means we have done this before, this allows us to work faster and translates to less billable hours.

SME
Services
Onboarding
You have invested a lot of time and energy to find a great person for your business. Seal the deal with a great value proposition and get them started right with our Right Start program. We can help you design and action a compelling employee value proposition. We are with you each step of the way from negotiation, induction, right up to the first month review.
Effective Teams
Having your people pull together can be the difference between success and failure. We work with small teams to structure and promote high levels of collaboration and goal-oriented focus.
Performance
You have a team member that isn’t performing as they should, or a team that isn’t reaching it’s potential. We have proven methods to elevate team and individual performance to exceed expectations.
Engagement
Keeping good people is not always about money and retention is not just about keeping people, it’s also about keeping people present, engaged and motivated. We have strategies that both enhance engagement and help retain your key people.
Strategic Solutions
Our philosophy is that "Big Company" solutions can be adapted in ways that resonate with smaller enterprises. Our solutions are based on structured methods that align four elements - compelling enterprise vision, clarity of purpose, engaged openness and supportive environment. Each element intersects with, and reinforces, culture which in turn promotes high performing, change oriented organisations.

About the Principal
James Lukey
I have over twenty years of experience in human resources and employee relations gained in Australia, Malaysia, the United States and Switzerland.
I have worked as a recruiter, labour relations advisor, compensation and benefits specialist, analyst, business partner, Regional Director and Company Officer.
I have always approached human resources as a discipline that is as much about people as it is about information and structure. Ultimately, good human resources, is about making the complex simple and getting people aligned and working toward a shared goal.
Having worked in both large and mid-sized organisations, I firmly believe that good people solutions are applicable globally regardless of business scale. What changes are the nuance and the tactics employed.
