Ms Louise Seaman

Welcome to my home page. As Manager: Human Resources, Division of Business, I provide an internal consultancy service to senior managers, academic staff and professional staff within the Division. This includes the provision of advice and support across a broad range of contemporary human resource services such as interpretation of policy and procedure, performance management and improvement, case management, recruitment and selection, occupational health and safety, staff development and project management. I am also involved leading and implementing new HR strategies and activities. In my role, I work closely with members of the Human Resources Unit to ensure delivery of services and advice that meet the objectives of the Division and to ensure alignment with broader HR objectives. I commenced this position in November 2008.

Prior to joining UniSA, I worked for Wallmans Lawyers as HR Manager and was responsible for workforce planning, job analysis, recruitment, staff development, remuneration, and training and development.

From May 2002 to September 2006, I was HR and Marketing Manager for mhm, a leading local Accounting and Business Advisory professional services firm. During my time with mhm, I was responsible for recruitment, staff training, remuneration strategies and ensuring that all staff across all levels have access to tailored professional development programs aimed at broadening their industry knowledge and skills. I was also involved in developing and implementing a range of policies and procedures to improve the operational performance of mhm, and training staff to make the best use of leading edge client management systems.

Together with many years experience in HR and Administration, I have also had extensive experience in marketing and event co-ordination. I have taken a lead role in fostering close relationships with clients through social and marketing events, industry seminars and professional workshops. In addition, I was responsible for the implementation and launch of mhm’s new brand and corporate profile.

Prior to mhm, I worked for a leading global professional services firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), where I gained over 20 years experience in administration, marketing, training and development and human resources. During this time, I was involved in the design, delivery and co-ordination of training programs, and the development of a bridging curriculum to address training and development needs. I was also involved in the management of the firm’s national graduate recruitment and graduate induction programs from 1998 to 2001.
