About Us

Experience has taught us that leaders spend most of their energy on responding to issues in the workplace instead of building capacity, empowering their team and achieving their goals.

Our certified Human Resource Specialists provide the tools and time to turn that around.

Our full-spectrum services include HR-On Demand, Workplace Investigations, Psychological Safety Assessments and Action Plans, Professional Development and Risk Mitigation.

What Magenta HR Clients Say

I have had the privilege of working with Magenta HR Ltd, specifically with Dawna Day, for several years now. Dawna has been instrumental in providing values-based and professionally informed Human Resources support and guidance on many occasions. She goes above and beyond to ensure the service is seen the whole way through and makes recommendations that she sees will further elevate the organization. Her vast network ensures she is able to bring in experts of many fields, if required, including legal if not on retainer, and the advice is comprehensive. Her calm and curious manner ensures she has all relevant information and insights needed to move forward and her personal demeanour makes it easy to share. I am incredibly grateful to have Dawna as part of our team and would recommend her to any business.
