Sharon Gray
Chief People Officer • OzHarvest
WHY THEY MADE THE LIST
Sharon Gray leads people at Australia's most recognised food rescue charity, managing a workforce spanning drivers, warehouse staff, corporate teams, and volunteers aligned to a single mission.
She has developed a volunteer-to-paid pipeline model and a purpose activation framework that others in the NFP sector reference as best practice.
AFR Best Places to Work (NFP). SEEK Employer of Choice (NFP). HRD 5-Star Employer. Named frameworks: volunteer-to-paid pipeline and purpose activation model.
From the judges
"Sharon proves that purpose-led HR is not a slogan. The volunteer-to-paid pipeline and the independently validated employer brand at OzHarvest show what happens when people strategy and organisational mission are genuinely the same thing."
— Rudy Crous, CEO of Compono
