Humanising the Workplace

Meet Nikki

My career mission is to humanise the workplace, ensuring that the unique value of each employee is understood and fostered, whilst ensuring that the critical skills required for each role are paramount. I find this approach crucial in ensuring the wellbeing and true culture of the business, with the ultimate outcome of amplifying individual and business productivity.

Throughout my 20 years’ experience working in people and culture, I have developed a holistic approach and key points of difference which couple practical Human Resource skills with intuition, proven science in human behaviour and expert relationship management skills. My approach ensures I am strategically engaged with all relevant stakeholders and that ultimately everyone is clear on what success looks like.

I look forward to working with you.

Warmest, Nikki

Services Offered

Specialised End-to-End Talent Acquisition

I work closely with hiring leaders, the internal HR Department (where one exists) and business strategies to identify and acquire talent with the right fit for the right role. Focusing on cultural fit, individual skills and potential for growth, I can manage the full process from crafting position descriptions through to probationary reviews.

Leadership Mentoring During Acquisition & Onboarding

A crucial part of my process is to provide mentoring to hiring leaders, both junior and senior, to ensure the successful onboarding of new employees. In my experience, this leads to productive output from the new employee more quickly and longevity of employment.

ADVanced Insights Profiling & Debriefing

Understanding how and why individuals think the way we do and why we may make the decisions we do can impact how efficient, productive and valued we are. Successful changes in behaviour, actions and outcomes can only be achieved over a period of time, and with a holistic approach.

Some love from our clients

Nikki recruited me for a role within a boutique law firm in early 2020 and was integral in helping me to define my purpose and goals, and – through the use of the ADVanced Insights tool – assisted me to understand the strengths I could bring to the team. 

This new opportunity for me coincided with the start of the pandemic and the challenges  that brought with it.  Nikki facilitated the transition from office to working from home during the lockdowns and helped me navigate my professional anxieties with an unlimited supply of compassion and guidance.

Nikki gets straight to the heart of things. When we first met she asked me what I really wanted to get more of in my life and business. I answered that I need help to free up more time for music and making wine. 12 months later, I’ve made more wine than ever, the music is flowing and work productivity and happiness is increasing. Thank you Nikki x

Simon, Landscaper

Nikki inherently understands how the behavioral dimensions of an individual can compliment and lift a business or if poorly matched, create an unhealthy push, pull or tension. By developing an intimate understanding of her clients values and their business purpose, Nikki is able to dig deep to uncover what’s important when screening an applicant before qualifying them through to the next interview stage, this saves our business and importantly, the candidate, valuable time. 

From my own personal experience as a candidate matched through Nikki’s talent acquisition service, through to 12+ months of working within an organisation replenished with aligned and immediately effective people I hands down would recommend H2O People and Culture.

After being in the same role for 14 years, I applied for a position that was being recruited for by Nikki and was immediately made to feel welcome. As recruitment had changed a lot in 14 years, Nikki stepped me through the process and ensured I felt at ease with all of the steps as I progressed through to interview stage and beyond. Since then, she has always made herself available to chat about all things work, career and progression, of which I am most grateful for.

Through a series of informal, focused sessions, Nikki worked with Hydrogen Systems Australia to establish our Mission, our Values and an Empowerment Statement now that form the basis of everything we do and the decisions that we make. Using gentle prompting, allowing for input from everyone and asking relevant questions, Nikki was able to assist us to identify what is most important to us as individuals, the organisation and how we want to move forward with integrity and inclusiveness.

I had the pleasure of working with Nikki Domeney after conflict arose on completion of a work project, yet we still had another section of this project to deliver. My business partner and I couldn’t see a way forward and we still had commitments to fulfil in the future. Nikki took us through her detailed, tailor-made process which helped us unravel and contemplate everything that not only hadn’t worked but what had worked. After we laid all the cards on the table she helped us dig deeply to see and understand what our personal intentions, desires and dreams were for the project which had become cloudy. When these were clearly defined we could set up joint objectives that would help us see that we were on the same page and could move forward with enthusiasm, joy and confidence.

Her processes were invaluable. Her empathy and understanding of the human psyche were reflected in the high standard of her delivery of her concepts and ability to make us both feel heard, understood and safe in her processes. I would highly recommend Nikki for conflict resolution and creating a framework for all parties in business that guides them towards getting on the same page and moving forward with enthusiasm, kindness and positivity. Thank you Nikki from the bottom of my heart.

Sarah, Cobargo Wellness Group

I have been using Nikki for HR support for 10 years in my business. We have worked through identifying the right people for my business, what is important to me, and my values. She has sourced excellent staff for me, and coached me through difficult times in my business.

Nikki takes the time to understand her clients and their businesses, working hard to ensure the candidates she puts forward will be the right fit for my business. She is open, frank, direct, considerate and very experienced. She has pragmatic suggestions and is able to calm down an often tense situation.

I could not recommend Nikki more highly.
