If you’re a new APositive client, there’s a good chance Annie is one of the first people you’ll speak to. And trust us, you’re in good hands.
Annie helps recruitment and labour hire businesses get up and running smoothly. Whether she’s diving into workflows, testing awards in payroll systems or guiding clients through the setup process, she’s all about making the complex feel simple.
So what does a typical day look like for you?
It’s a mix of things. I meet with clients, look at how their systems work and figure out ways we can make them more efficient. I spend a lot of time testing award setups, running payroll tests and collaborating with the team to make sure everything is lining up properly.
You’ve got a real talent for making onboarding feel easy. What’s the secret?
I like to really understand how each business works. Every company has its quirks and unique ways of doing things, and that’s completely normal. I build trust with clients by making space for honesty. Once we’re on the same page, it’s much easier to come up with practical improvements that actually work for them.
What made you join APositive?
I met a few people from the team before I joined and instantly felt the great energy. Everyone was friendly, relaxed and really genuine. The culture is welcoming and easygoing but still focused on doing great work. It made joining the team feel effortless.
Have you had a moment where you thought, "This is why I do what I do"?
Yes! A client once told me that after we streamlined their setup, they finally had time to take their kids to the park after school. That hit me. Knowing that I helped them create that kind of work-life balance is one of the many reasons I love this role.
Tell us something people might not know about you.
I used to be really into poker. Texas Hold’em. I played most nights and weekends, and my longest game went for 18 hours. I like to think I still have the poker face to prove it.
What’s life like outside of work?
With two toddlers, life is pretty full. On weekends we’re usually out and about visiting parks, the beach, zoos or shopping centres. During footy season, we’re at the games. Go the Doggies.
Anything you're looking forward to this year?
We had a few family holidays earlier in the year which were amazing. Now I’m focusing more on work and getting back to feeling like myself again. The past few years have been all about pregnancies and maternity leave, so it feels good to get back into a rhythm.
