ABOUT US
Our People
AtWork Consulting was founded in 1999. Its initial focus was on team and organisational development, incorporating some management and performance coaching. The AtWork service range gradually grew, especially after its rebirth in 2006, to encompass an extensive array of management and HR services. More recently again, leadership and management development has become a major focus, as an outcome of a natural growth in this area in terms of both expertise and client demand. Coaching now encompasses executive, management, career, performance and more customised coaching, again in response to both our expertise and what our clients are seeking.
Paul Murphy, our Principal Consultant, is a highly experienced coach and management/HR consultant who has worked in the field of HRM, Executive Coaching and Training & Development for over 20 years. Paul’s strengths in coaching, HR, team development, business strategy and recruitment have delivered successful outcomes right throughout this time.
Paul’s approach is based on successful partnerships and working rapport with staff at all organisational levels, from the executive leaders and managers to the service delivery or production "coalface". This is an important component of achieving great results consistently in such a people-oriented field.
AtWork also invites and manages the participation of specialist associate consultants either for additional specialist expertise or more grunt power on big projects.

Our Clients
AtWork provides services to clients in both private and public sectors, in regional Victoria, Melbourne and elsewhere in Australia. Our clients want to maximise the value of their investment in people – they‘re typically already doing well but want to do better.
The key people we support within organisations are CEOs/managing directors, senior executives, HR or OD managers, line managers or Boards of busy and growing organisations. They realise that outsourcing services makes sense when the expertise is not available in-house or is best provided from an external source.
Our clients include:
TESTIMONIALS- What Our Clients Say About Us
"In establishing a strategy with my Board as CEO at Community Telco Australia, we set a mission-critical goal: to build the leadership capability in our management team.
We selected AtWork Consulting to implement this work for us, and Paul Murphy designed a customised program based on my briefing. This was linked to CTA strategy and incorporated coaching along with tools including a Team Management Profile and MLQ 360˚ Leadership Review.
The results to date have not only met our expectations of the program, but also exceeded them. In the early stages following, we’ve already improved individual management performance, and we have a significantly improved leadership team ... it’s already become a team that works more effectively together, focused around a vision and our key common goals.
We are intent on consolidating and continuing this progress, and we have retained Paul to keep things moving in the right direction. It all sits well with the need we have for a high-performing team at the top, a team that can deliver not just good management, but also great leadership."
David Joss, CEO, Community Telco Australia, 2011
"Paul's coaching has improved my own understanding and built my capacity to motivate others to perform. The ability to share staffing matters on a confidential basis and gain meaningful advice has been highly valuable and a significant component in achieving high performance from my team”.
- Director, Local Govt
"Paul has expertise that only comes with years of experience…we simply couldn’t do it all ourselves.
Using Paul lets us get on with what we are best at, focussing on our customers and delivering great products and services.
AtWork Consulting’s outsourced HR service has actually saved us money. Paul is the staff member you only pay for as and when you need him, which is vital in today’s competitive climate.
Thanks Paul for all your assistance in this extremely important business service area".
Phil Lazenby, CEO, Bendigo Community Telco
"AtWork Consulting's performance coaching techniques have been of great assistance to my team. This has been invaluable in the way Paul has provided coaching to a staff member who was under-performing. His work clarified the development goals to the staff member and guided them through the 'performance warning' process."
- Senior Manager, Local Government
"With a combination of analytical assessment and directed discussion Paul was able to assist me to pull together various streams of thought, place concerns in perspective and to assist me to move towards the future. It is an experience I can recommend".
- Senior Manager, State Government agency
“Over a couple of meetings and completing some useful tools to gauge my emotional intelligence and career interests, Paul helped me look at this change with fresh perspective. I was able to work through a difficult time with genuine comfort and make hard decisions.
Paul made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I can recommend it to anyone”.
– General Manager, Consulting/Development Business.
“Paul coached me regarding my work experiences; made me aware of personal growth and achievements in my working life and used these attributes when preparing my resume. I was successful every time in gaining an interview for the positions I applied for. Ultimately I achieved a wonderful new role. I have no hesitation in recommending AtWork Consulting."
– Senior Manager, Health & Community Services.
"AtWork Consulting helped our organisation deal with difficult workplace situations. As an independent observer and looking with a view from an external lens, AtWork helped our individuals work through their issues to realise their shortcomings and strengths, and to find solutions."
