Some of the most sensitive work in local government sits with the council itself, covering CEO performance, executive remuneration, and the governance frameworks the organisation is held accountable to.
This requires specialists who have actually designed and run these processes before, inside government, not consultants advising on them for the first time.
This work sits at the intersection of governance, IR risk and public accountability. As a result:
CEO performance and remuneration decisions face scrutiny most HR matters never see
Generic policy templates rarely survive contact with real governance requirements
Outdated frameworks create genuine compliance and reputational risk
Few advisors have actually run a CEO performance review process end-to-end
We focus on governance work that's actually been delivered before, ensuring it is:
Designed by specialists who've run the process themselves
Consistent with legislation and governance requirements
Built to withstand public and elected-member scrutiny
Sustainable and practical to apply over time
CEO & Executive Performance Frameworks — Framework design and facilitation of the annual review process, led by people who've actually run this before.
Remuneration & Benefits Benchmarking — Genuine market and governance expertise on remuneration structures, built to withstand public scrutiny.
Policy Development & Compliance Frameworks — HR policy and governance frameworks aligned to legislation and how your organisation actually operates.
Workforce Audits & Governance Reviews — Independent review of workforce practices, surfacing risk before it becomes a bigger issue.
A CEO performance or remuneration framework is overdue for review
Governance frameworks need to demonstrably hold up to scrutiny
Policies have fallen behind how the organisation actually operates or legislation has been updated
You want a workforce or governance audit from genuine specialists
Effective governance and performance frameworks support:
Confidence that frameworks hold up under scrutiny
Clarity for leaders, employees and the community
Reduced compliance and reputational risk
Practical frameworks the organisation can sustain
Frameworks designed by people who have actually run a CEO performance review, not just advised on one.
Governance work built to hold up under public and elected-member scrutiny.
If you require support across governance, policy or performance frameworks, we welcome a discussion.
