I recommend Margaret as I have been working with her for over 5 years. We originally went to Margaret when we were going through a generational transition of our family business. We had a desire to keep the company’s culture while making some steady progress on changes for the future longevity of the business. This involved exploring our vision and mission statements and bringing more rigorous processes to our HR systems. Margaret took on the project which engaged all our staff, and enabled our future strategies. She continues to be a support to discuss and work through strategic and HR support matters.
Our business engaged the services of Akyra Strategy and Development Pty Ltd to assist with our HR policies, procedures and all aspects of employment. We have been dealing with Margaret Goody from Akyra for more than seven years now and, during this time, we have always found her to be extremely professional with a wealth of knowledge within the human resource and people management field.
As a business owner who deals with Akyra, it is reassuring to know you will receive the right advice promptly when needed and having the professional services of Akyra available to our business at the touch of a button just gives us that extra peace of mind.We truly value Margaret’s wealth of experience and would thank Margaret and the team for their assistance over the years.
I would highly recommend Margaret Goody and the team at Akyra to any business that requires professional HR services.

Keolis Downer’s relationship with AKYRA commenced in 2013 and is now an integral reference point for our business operations in Queensland with any matters relating to Human Resources. Over the years our team have personally worked closely with Margaret Goody from AKYRA on a number of matters of policy direction, developing and reviewing Human Resource manuals that are used within our daily operations, and staff recruitment when required.
I would have no hesitation in highly recommending AKYRA to any prospective client.
We recently worked with Akyra on a few HR and IR projects and would highly recommend their services for anyone in the community services space. Akyra were knowledgeable, personable, easy to work with, and delivered what was promised. We worked closely with Margaret who gave us pragmatic advice of where to make improvements for employees, and for MACS as the employer.
MACS is extremely grateful for the advice and assistance we have received from Akyra and will utilise their services again for future HR / IR needs.
Margaret is a innovator, an expert in her field and exceptional partner and resource to any organisation. I worked with Margaret for several years in developing our business and HR professional resources to change our business. Her knowledge and expertise helped us not only establish best practice policy, procedures and guidelines to improve, but drove the changes in our culture that has lead to significant improvements and successful outcomes for our people, our customers and our business.
