We work with leaders who want to build a structured people operating rhythm, so that performance and culture are supported as their business scales.
Most growing businesses don’t have a people problem. They have a clarity problem.
Roles evolve faster than structure. Pay decisions become harder to justify. Performance conversations get inconsistent. Everything still lands on the CEO’s desk.
Without structure, pressure turns into reactivity. Without rhythm, culture begins to drift.
You don’t need more HR activity. You need a clear way your people function across the year.
We operate under a clear people operating cadence called The People Operating Framework, designed to replace reactive HR.
Because when structure improves and people have a clear rhythm to work to, leaders feel lighter and employees experience clarity.
There are four pathways to engage Common Goal Consulting to help you lead your people with confidence. You can access this support in a way that suits your business stage and structure.
Build structure before scale creates pressure.
Best for: Businesses who want clarity for the year ahead and need to build people structure before they can scale.
A structured 12-month plan to bring clarity to the year ahead, giving you choice as to how you implement it.
This roadmap will define where your people systems are today, how they need to function across the year, and what success looks like, all aligned to The People Operating Framework.
Proactive HR with structured operating rhythm across the year.
Best for: Businesses wanting ongoing senior HR partnership and support.
Reduce leadership load and reactive HR through our structured People Partner Plans. Access to senior HR advice across the year, ideal as your people and leadership challenges evolve.
Choose from two tier options (Essentials and Growth) for structured, HR partnership with our team (monthly inclusions).
A focused compliance and workforce risk diagnostic.
Best for: Businesses who are not sure where they stand, and are seeking compliance clarity and risk visibility.
A structured risk review of your employment contracts, payroll setup, policies, and compliance foundations to identify gaps, exposure, and priority actions.
Ideal for identifying risks, gaps and priority focus areas and giving you confidence and clarity, before issues arise or risks escalate.
Flexible, senior HR support without long-term commitment.
Best for: Businesses who have defined HR projects or issues, or who have ad-hoc advice requirements.
For businesses needing support on defined matters or projects, or not yet ready for a structured partnership commitment, we provide flexible HR consulting.
We step in quickly, provide clear direction, and stay involved until the matter is resolved. No minimum commitment. No unnecessary complexity.
The People Operating Framework provides a structured people operating system for growth-stage businesses, whether it is through our 12 month roadmap and annual People Plans, or our flexible and ad hoc HR consulting.
Our four core people pillars are structured to build a predictable people operating rhythm so growth doesn’t create pressure.
Clarity on foundational risk and compliance, documentation maturity
Role clarity, organisational and leadership structure, decision making frameworks.
Performance framework and rhythm, capability reviews, and consistency
Communications framework, leadership role and cultural alignment
Your 12-Month People Operating Roadmap defines:
> Where your people systems are today
> Where risk or strain is building
> What must stabilise
> What must strengthen
> What success looks like in 12 months
It becomes the blueprint for how your business and your team grow, together.
We provide senior, practical HR support across the year through:
Clear, commercially grounded strategic direction and structure for your business.
Hands-on implementation support, not just planning.
Seek to understand how your business truly operates, so our advice is relevant and practical.
