Social Impact Measurement with Georgina Camp

Sally Murphy is an expert human resources professional who left the corporate world behind to launch the purpose-led human resources company Purple Playground in 2018.   After spending twenty years working within people and culture roles across a variety of HR disciplines, Sally took the opportunity to build a company that would better support other businesses in their human resources initiatives.   Her vision for Purple Playground is in perfect alignment with her purpose and passion - to prove business leaders with a proactive approach to people and culture. As far as HR agencies are concerned, Purple Playground is deliberately different.   Sally heads up the Human Resources division of the company, and works her magic to:   Ensure businesses are compliant with their Fair Work employer obligations. Help businesses scale their organisations through simple, yet strong human resource foundations and a clear people strategy. Build the leadership capability within teams, with a focus on creating resilient, high-performing teams.   The Purple Playground team are the antidote to the boring, stuffy, ‘we’d better call HR’ approach and are leading the way in helping purpose-driven business owners re-imagine what people and culture support looks like. They are a certified B Corporation and long term member of B1G1 Business for Good.  It’s all part of showing the human side of human resources. To Sally and the team, adding value to clients means being committed to helping them ‘systemise the process and humanise the experience’ throughout every aspect of the full employee lifecycle.
