CapacityHQ

CapacityHQ is an Australian venture focused on optimizing workforce productivity and well-being through specialized consulting services. The firm primarily targets the human resources and management sectors of small, medium, and large organizations, offering solutions for complex employee situations.

The company was founded by Matthew Megson, who brings two decades of experience as an HR professional in manufacturing and non-profit environments. His career has been dedicated to managing employee accommodation and return-to-work processes, with a significant focus on mental health challenges. Megson's professional expertise is uniquely combined with his personal experience of living with Bipolar Disorder and ADHD for over 27 years. This dual perspective, from both a corporate and an employee standpoint, highlighted systemic gaps in how businesses handle mental health accommodations. This realization was a primary motivator for establishing his own consultancy, aiming to provide employers with the necessary tools to support their staff effectively.

CapacityHQ's core business revolves around training, coaching, and advocacy to improve the accommodation process between employers and employees, particularly those dealing with mental illness. The firm's operational model is service-based, generating revenue by providing expert guidance to organizations. It addresses the common issue where businesses, and even HR departments, lack the specific tools and understanding to manage mental health in the workplace successfully. The service aims to foster better engagement and communication, shifting the reliance from formal paperwork to more empathetic and effective conversations that support an employee's capacity to work. By equipping managers and HR teams, CapacityHQ helps create a more inclusive and supportive work environment, which can lead to reduced medical leave and sustained employee productivity.
