Our Founder
Tim Dive.
Meet Tim. With 20 years of hands-on experience navigating the toughest workplace challenges, Tim brings a refreshingly different approach to HR, IR, and solving business dilemmas.
Unlike traditional HR professionals and teams, Tim has redefined what HR means for smaller employers, and believes the most important Australian workplaces are inside those businesses with fewer than 200 people. His background spans diverse industries across Australia, honing his expertise in redesigning organisations, coaching executive teams, and defending employers in tribunals like the Fair Work Commission.
Renowned for his pragmatic strategies and client-focused ethos, Tim has earned trust across the spectrum, from global mining giants to countless small and medium-sized enterprises. He simplifies that diagnosing of workplace inefficiencies, crafting tailored improvement plans, and executing transformative changes that propel businesses towards success.
Now, as the driving force behind The HR Cartel, Tim is committed to delivering affordable solutions that empower small and medium sized organisations to navigate complex workplace regulations and performance with confidence. With Tim on your team, expect a personalised and results-driven approach that prioritises your business outcomes above all else.
