High performing businesses need high performing teams

Victoria Griffiths, The HR Haven

Hi, I’m Victoria — founder of The HR Haven and your go-to for all things hiring, team-building and people leadership. With over 15 years of HR experience, I help purpose-driven business owners build aligned, confident and high-performing teams — without the overwhelm.

Originally from Ireland, I came to Australia as a backpacker and, to my mum’s horror, fell in love with an Aussie boy. Fast-forward 16 years, and I now proudly call Albury home, juggling business life with two busy kids and a mission to make hiring and leadership actually enjoyable.

My signature Magnetic Hiring Method helps small business owners take the guesswork out of recruitment and build teams that truly fit. I also run DISC personality profiling workshops that transform how teams communicate, collaborate and lead.

I’ve worked across industries, guided countless leaders through their first (or fiftieth!) hire, and supported teams through rapid growth, tricky dynamics and everything in between. My style is practical, real, and always people-first — because good leadership should feel aligned, not exhausting.

Whether you're a powerhouse entrepreneur ready to scale or a solo operator craving clarity, I’m here to help you simplify your systems, find the right people, and lead with heart and confidence. If that sounds like your kind of HR — let’s chat.
