Managing Director at HR Squad
Lainie Tayler, the founding Managing Director of HR Squad has over 28 years’ experience working in large global and local organisations specialising in leadership development, talent management and generalist human resources.
HR Squad’s philosophy is about building capable and engaged organisations and leaders. Lainie believes that the key to an organisation’s success and longevity is its leaders.
“Getting the people stuff right is so important, we know that a people mindset is the biggest lever you can pull to ensure sustained financial and cultural success in an organisation”.
Lainie has worked for some Australia’s most influential organisations including North Mining, adidas, GE, Country Road, Telstra and Asciano. However, Lainie’s real passion is unlocking the potential in all leaders and has deep expertise in strategy, organisational capability and leadership development.
HR Squad is 8 years old now and supports a diverse mix of private industry organisations across Australia and abroad in executive and group coaching. Lainie enjoys cooking up storm in her spare time, a hit of golf and hanging with her 2 kids Georgia and Jack and husband Chris on the weekend.
This chat with HR leaders and Mentorloop Industry Advisory Council members Lainie Tayler and Michael Werle explored the EX touchpoints that matter most, linking them to measurable business outcomes, and how to inspire leaders to act, not just approve budgets.
With the help of our Mentorloop Industry Advisory Council, we get into all things EX: What really is Employee Experience (EX)? Why is it so vital to every workplace? And what can HR or People & Culture professionals do to improve it in their organizations?
Lainie Tayler, Chris Miran, and Sol Mardones make the case that managers aren’t broken — the role is. They unpack why generic leadership training keeps failing, how to diagnose the real problem before you spend, what AI can and can’t take off a manager’s plate, and what good leadership looks like when everything keeps shifting.
Lainie Tayler, Christian Miran, and Sol Mardones join Heidi Holmes to unpack why manager engagement keeps falling — and why the fix isn’t more training. The panel digs into what’s really overloading the role, the wellbeing programs that don’t work, and how to build systems that don’t lean on “hero managers.”
