Strategic HR Projects
When the people problem doesn’t quite fit into the usual HR ‘box’ and the confidential nature of the project means you can’t lean on your internal team, we can be the behind the scenes support you need.
Sometimes you need the unique expertise of an HR director or executive that understands complex HR projects.
Our Managing Director, Annabel Rees, has over 20 years HR Director and senior executive experience across a range of industries and organisations. She is a sought after advisory for CEOs and HR Directors wanting an external lens and a safe pair of hands to implement confidential, complex or unique one off HR projects.
Lana Rajšić, our HR Manager, brings 17+ years of experience in Head of HR and operations roles across diverse industries including not-for-profit, engineering, tertiary, financial services, retail, and logistics.

Our tried and tested experts are ready to hit the ground running from day one, offering the expertise to either craft bespoke solutions or seamlessly implement your existing strategies.
At Businessary, we recognise that not all HR challenges are not always solved with standard out of the box solutions.
Whether it’s confidential coaching, organisational design, navigating leadership team dynamics, or handling intricate HR projects, our expertise ensures tailored, effective solutions to transform and future-proof your HR strategies.
What we can help you with:
- Coaching and advice – Annabel is available for ad hoc coaching or advice – it can be difficult to discuss confidential people changes internally, but you need someone to bounce off ideas with or talk it through before implementing.
- Organisational design – Seeking external guidance for organisational design change, especially when you are looking at changing an executive structure or leadership team is complex and not as simple as names in boxes! Annabel has a deep expertise in organisational design, leadership and functional responsibilities and can provide ad hoc advice right through to confidential design and implementation, including redundancy and risk planning.
- Leadership team dynamics – As a Psychologist by background, Annabel has over 20 years experience in understanding the psychology of relationships, team dynamics, and can leverage a wide range of methodologies to work with a CEO or Chairman to bring about real sustainable change.
- Complex HR projects – When you need HR expertise and it doesn’t quite fit in one box – maybe its a large people change or transformation project, maybe its a highly confidential issue with an executive, maybe its a building the HR strategy for the next 5 years, we have experience across a range of complex HR projects that we can share with you.
Businessary’s HR audit is the right decision because we offer expert, comprehensive assessments tailored to your specific business needs, ensuring a compliant strategic focus.
