Co-founder, Anthony Rice

Workforce Effectiveness Speaker

“I love seeing businesses win, and helping leaders get there.”

Every organisation has untapped potential. My passion is helping business owners and leaders find real opportunities that help move the needle.

ANTHONY RICE
CO-FOUNDER, PEOPLEPARTNERS

Your Global Workforce Educator

Over the past 24 years, I’ve built, scaled, and optimised businesses, including three 8-figure ventures and one that’s tracking toward nine.  

I help growing companies break through bottlenecks by rethinking how their teams are structured. The goal? Let your onshoore team focus on high-impact work while full-time, highly skilled offshore talent handles the rest.  

I’ve had the privilege of speaking at conferences and business events across the U.S., Australia, and Canada—sharing lessons from helping over 300 companies grow with less complexity and more clarity.  

From mortgage broking to aged care, education to professional services, I love getting into real conversations about what’s working (and what’s not) when it comes to scaling teams sustainably.

Why Workforce Effectiveness Matters in Offshore Operations

Disengaged employees cost the global economy US$8.8 trillion annually. In Australia, low engagement contributes to over AU$200 billion in lost productivity. The United States faces similar impacts, with only 1 in 3 employees engaged at work.

Offshore teams feel it more. Distance, time zones and cultural gaps make employee engagement offshore harder, while poor remote team management increases turnover and underperformance.

As a leading workplace speaker, Anthony Rice helps organisations turn offshore challenges into strengths through data-backed workforce optimisation, effective performance strategy and measurable outsourcing efficiency.
