Who we are

The Save Group was founded by Jane Save, a global HR practitioner with over 15 years experience.

Using pragmatic and operationally focused frameworks, The Strategic Action Model (SAM) and The National HR Framework, we help businesses understand the link between strategy and action, in order to drive performance and profit.

Strategic Action Model

What does it mean for business?

The Strategic Action Model™ is a key model created from decades of research into what separates high performing businesses from low performing businesses.

Based on research from 5,000 small to medium Australasian businesses, it showed that there was a strong link between the strategy of the business, the activity or action of the employee workforce and the overall performance of the business.

We help you measure where your business is today and how we can take it to the next level, in order to drive performance and profit.

The National HR Framework

What does it mean for business?

The National Human Resource Framework (NS HRF 101: 2010) is a standard developed through research conducted by the HR Coach Research Institute and various industry bodies to establish a balanced method of human resources to minimise risk and maximise sustainability.

The Framework is the overarching method of how The Save Group works with businesses and provides a structured approach which directly links to business outcomes.

We use the framework to help businesses devise an Annual HR Plan, in line with their budget constraints and their business needs.

The Team

At The Save Group, we have an exceptional team of coaches with expertise in various areas. We’re committed to solving complex business challenges using the latest technology and data resources, combined with our creative and collaborative strategic approach.
