In this episode, I am talking to Jamie Getgood about redundancy with heart.

With GM Holden closing its manufacturing operations in Australia, Jamie undertook leadership in the development of a best practice Transition Centre to support all employees in receiving the support, advice and training to help them transition into new work. he was instrumental in not only developing internal strategies but creating networks within multiple government departments, the supply chain, employers and community groups.

Jamie’s passion for people, his focus on employee engagement and the success of the business is evident in his achievements. This passion allowed him to develop pivotal relationships with all of the employees which is crucial in assisting in their transition into new opportunities.

As a result his work, Jamie was named as the South Australian AND Australian Leader/Manager of the year at the Australian Excellence Awards in 2017.  These accolades and his drive to support all people, have seen him develop a reputation as a leader in the transition space in this country.
