At this event, we explored the topic ‘Why Employers are not fans of OnlyFans’ – a topic that seems obvious, but can have far-reaching and serious implications for employment contracts, codes of conduct, assessing outside income and many other HR activities.
We had a great time hearing everyone’s thoughts on this topic. We appreciate the support and encouraging feedback we received from this event.
Slipstream Conference
At the 2025 Slipstream Connect conference, Kearin hosted a roundtable discussion on a topic close to her heart and the heart of the Workforce Positive HR Problems solved framework – ‘Be specific, achieve more: The art of specified performance expectations’. Slipstream Connect brings together 300+ conference delegates who are passionate about their business performance, people engagement and client success.
Kearin’s day consisted of 27 conference delegates, 75mins, 6 dice, 3 role plays and lots of laughs!
A huge thank you to Sharon and Ash from the Slipstream Group team for your kind invitation to present, your energy is infectious and your conference is world-class.

DEE - Sessions
Kearin kicked off the Enhance HR workshops by talking all things Position Descriptions and Onboarding. This session focused on the importance of position descriptions and understanding your organisation’s structure. Kearin also discussed how to take onboarding from good to great and ensure new team members are equipped to succeed.
The second session of the Enhance HR workshops focused on Recruitment and Probation. Great discussions were had surrounding attracting team members, planning your recruitment processes and ensuring probation is a smooth and beneficial process for both you and your new team member.
The Enhance HR workshops finished with discussing Performance Management and Exits. Kearin busted some performance management myths, explained the principles of performance management and highlighted the differences between different types of exits and tips for managing these.
It was great to see so many businesses attend this workshop. We enjoyed connecting with you all and helping answer your HR questions. Thank you to the Dalby Chamber of Commerce and Industry for helping organise and hosting the Business Enhancement workshops.

What Our Customers Say
We love helping businesses get HR just right, and our clients notice the difference
Sharon McClafferty, CEO, Slipstream Group
Workforce Positive is the first place I call if we have a tricky HR issue. Kearin and her team always bring compassion and wisdom to the situation. In fact, in every single instance involving WP has led to a better outcome for all parties. I’m looking forward to working with them on our vision to become a recognised employer of choice. I could not think of a better adviser for that journey. Thank you
Dashelle Bailey, Group Manager – Strategy & Growth, Smithbridge Group | Universal Cranes
Recently I was faced with a difficult employee situation, and I was unsure about the best course of action. Having worked with us for some time Kearin had already taken the time to understand the nuances of our organisation, its culture, and its values, and was able to use this knowledge to guide me to the right solution. This resulted in a mutually agreed outcome that worked for both this employee and our organisation, in a situation where that didn’t feel possible! More broadly speaking, our organisation has made tremendous progress in the people and culture space through our partnership with Workforce Positive, developing and implementing a people and culture strategy that has taken the best parts of our family business values and welded it with modern and fresh HR practices.
Jared Hume, Partner, Fusion Accounting Solutions
We are so happy with the results of our quarterly staff reviews that Workforce Positive has implemented and leads. The way they are structured and run I am finding the staff are getting just as much out of them as we are as the owners and it has greatly added to our firm goal of having a positive workplace and culture. Our staff have felt comfortable during these reviews and they have not been a daunting experience, rather a safe place for positive feedback.
“Success Profiles developed by Workforce Positive provide clarity and a path to improvement for all the staff and the various positions they hold across the firm. We have since used the success profiles as part of our recruitment drive for new staff and our applicants have told us that these were a big reason why they applied for our positions. The 1-day workshop was amazingly run and again, the feedback from our staff was positive.”
Nolan Keen, Managing Director, Dalby General Steel
I appreciate Kearin’s advice in navigating people questions, mitigating risk and understanding my options when it comes to employment matters. Kearin has taken the time to understand my businesses and I know that I can rely on her for timely and clear HR support.
Anita Hindle, General Manager – Corporate Services, Withcott Seedlings
