National Franchise Awards recognise HR Coach business coaching franchises

HR Coach business coaching franchises have been recognised for their achievements over the past year at the recent Franchise Council of Australia’s Excellence in Franchising Awards.

Louise Broekman, Managing Director and Founder of HR Coach has been announced as the Queensland Franchise Woman of the Year, and says that she is thrilled with the result.

“This is recognition of the group’s support of the business sector in Australia and our unwavering dedication to helping women in business as well,” she says.

HR Coach business coaching franchises were also finalists in three national categories, including social responsibility, emerging business systems and women in business.

As the human resources franchises have continued to grow, so has their commitment to helping the business sector in Australia. Evidence of this is HR Coach’s sponsorship of the Australian Human Resource Institutes (AHRI) HR Leadership in Small Business Award.

“We are pleased to support the celebration of HR Leadership in this sector and look forward to continuing to champion the cause” states Broekman.

The Excellence in Franchising accolades are not the first for the business coaching franchises. In 2007, the group was recognised by the Telstra Business Women Awards, celebrating Broekman as a finalist for innovation.

In the same year the Queensland Government supported the group by sponsoring an international development program for HR Coach to research the European market.

In addition, the HR Coach Research Institute released the first National Standard for Human Resources, NS HRF-101: Human Resource Framework in 2010.

The rigour and practicality of the Standard development process was recognised by the market and led to HR Coach winning a major federal tender to educate hundreds of businesses on the Human Resource Framework and to implement it into their organisations.
