About HR Automate

Hi, I'm Emilie Ryan

I am a senior human resources and industrial relations practitioner, and the principal of HR Automate. For more than 15 years I have worked across the full breadth of HR and IR: enterprise agreements, award interpretation, workplace disputes, grievance resolution and performance management, supporting owners, managers, HR teams and boards through the decisions that matter.

I built HR Automate with two kinds of business in mind. For small and medium businesses, the software puts compliance within reach: everything you need to get your HR documentation right without hiring an HR department. For larger organisations with more complex needs, and for any business with an HR team, it takes care of the groundwork and grows your team's capability, so your HR people can focus on the work that really matters.

The advisory side is for everyone. Some matters are small and just need a steady, experienced hand. Others are complex and strategic: dealing with unions, negotiating enterprise agreements, restructures, and disputes where the stakes are real. That is where my specialist industrial relations experience comes in, and where an independent set of eyes can make the difference. I have sat at the bargaining table and worked through difficult disputes. No call centres and no jargon. Just practical, senior support built for Australian business.
