Melbourne Victory Football Club is one of Australia's most iconic sporting organisations. For CEO and Managing Director, Caroline Carnegie, looking after people properly is inseparable from the club’s success, both on and off the pitch. Here, she shares how adopting MyHR has transformed MVFC’s approach to people management and employment, elevating performance and culture, and saving leaders valuable time.
Organisation: Melbourne Victory Football Club (MVFC)
Industry: Professional Sports / Football
Location: Melbourne, VIC
Team size: 100-200 employees
Fragmented HR systems and precious executive time.
Before MyHR, Melbourne Victory FC had no consolidated platform to manage the things that matter most in HR. Performance reviews, leave management, and policy adoption were all handled through a patchwork of tools and processes bolted together over time. The burden of keeping track of everything fell on individuals, and consistency across the organisation was hard to achieve. For a premier club where executive leadership time is precious and the focus needs to be on fan engagement and business growth, a fragmented HR setup simply wasn't sustainable.
A powerful platform for smart people management.
Melbourne Victory Football Club made the move to MyHR, and the onboarding experience set the tone. Despite initial concerns that implementation would mean more work for MVFC staff, the MyHR team got everyone set up and made the transition far smoother than expected. The platform provides Caroline and her team a single, centralised system for managing their people, whether conducting performance reviews, tracking and approving leave, setting event reminders, and everything in between. The interface is easy for administrators and executives to navigate, and the small touches — like automated work anniversary reminders — help Melbourne Victory create an environment where people feel genuinely valued.
Streamlined processes and focused leadership.
HR processes are unified into a single, central platform.
Performance reviews and leave management are handled with ease.
Automated reminders help create a culture where people feel valued.
HR at Melbourne Victory FC is now consistent and works for the whole organisation. Time savings across the board mean that General Managers and the executive leadership team can redirect their focus to what actually drives the business forward. Processes that were once scattered are now unified, and the consistency of approach that comes with a single platform has made a real difference for everyone at the club.
The best HR platform for people-focused organisations.
Caroline's advice for any organisation sitting on the fence? Don't hesitate. The combination of an easy-to-use platform, a supportive onboarding and HR advisory team, and real efficiencies across the business makes MyHR a smart investment for any organisation that's serious about its people.
"MyHR is a better way to do HR for us because it helps us streamline the process. It takes the responsibility off every individual having to check things themselves and really gives us a central repository to manage our people in a way that is valuable for them." — Caroline Carnegie, CEO & Managing Director, Melbourne Victory Football Club
