Mary Haddock-Staniland joins Timely in December.
Award winning hi-tech company Timely says it has appointed New Zealand’s first chief people inclusion officer.
Mary Haddock-Staniland joins the global software company with a mandate to progress the business case for workplace inclusion, ensuring people have equal access to opportunities and resources. Timely’s data show that providing a workplace where people are welcomed, supported, known, valued, and trusted is what job seekers, employees, and customers expect and deserve.
“We need to ensure that both Timely and the 15,000 businesses it serves get to benefit from inclusive work practices, it’s not just the right thing to do, it’s how we’re growing” Timely chief executive and co-founder Ryan Baker said.
Believed to be the first role of this nature in the executive level of any New Zealand organisation, Haddock-Staniland joins Timely at an exciting time in the organisation’s growth.
Timely provides software to the beauty industry and is used by thousands of spas and salons across the UK, Australia and New Zealand. It is also a pioneer of remote working, with more than 100 staff across the same countries.
Having previously held both senior HR and PR positions, Haddock-Staniland’s role will focus on elevating Timely as a global leader in workplace inclusion and engagement. As luck would have it, she’s also passionate about the beauty industry.
“I love the beauty industry and I’ve been given this wonderful opportunity to combine my passion for people in this role. It’s clear from the mahi already being done at Timely, that they have a genuine commitment to this kaupapa,” Haddock-Staniland said.
Haddock-Staniland is leaving her role as head of membership services at Diversity Works New Zealand where she has played a key role in building the company’s brand and delivering to their growing membership.
Haddock-Staniland will join Timely in December.
