Reimagining HR with Trina Sunday

49. Only in Australia: HR, Humanity and the Unwritten Rules

Trina Sunday Episode 49

Ever been pulled aside for a “quick chat” that blew out your whole day?

In this episode of Reimagining HR, I’m pulling back the curtain on what HR really looks like in Australia. From “she’ll be right” risk management to navigating the weird mix of informality and high-stakes regulation. This one’s for the HR professionals holding it all together, often with a straight face and a cancelled lunch.

You’ll hear what sets Australian HR apart. What makes our leadership style so uniquely low-key, and how we balance influence, culture and compliance with quiet strength. If you’ve ever mentally rewritten a policy during a meeting or turned a casual conversation into risk mitigation, you’re in the right place.

Which of these HR moments hit a little too close to home? What’s your version of the “quick chat”? Connect with me on LinkedIn and let’s swap stories:
