“Transforming the experiences for employees and communities most impacted by racism, bias and discrimination?”
Activity may have happened, but harm still continues
HR rewired is a strategic advisory firm that partners with organisations and institutions to confront racial harm at its structural roots, not just address its surface symptoms.
Who We Are
Uncovering the Design Behind Disparity
Where leaders want reassurance, HR and people leaders can often hold uncomfortable evidence.
Boards believe policy reviews and training programs mean the job is done. HR and employees, most impacted, know that harm continues.
That tension is where HR rewired sits.
We specialise in helping organisations and institutions:
See why previous efforts haven’t shifted outcomes
Use their own data to showcase why
Reframe uncomfortable truths so boards can act, with compassion and credibility, despite their discomfort.
Why us?
Think structurally
We connect patterns to power.
Our lens reveals the hidden logics, decision-making flows, and leadership behaviours that sustain harm while appearing fair, neutral or inclusive - and what it takes to redesign them.
See clearly
We reveal what your usual reviews miss: how systemic racism persists through systems that appear neutral, and why well-meaning efforts are still falling short.
Act credibly
We equip you to respond with seriousness, not symbolism, shifting from reaction to responsibility in ways that reinforce trust and prove your values are lived, not just stated.
