Scott HarrisFounder & CEO

Prior to founding Workforce Resilience in 2015, Scott spent 26 years as a police officer in the Queensland Police Service (QPS), where he was able to hone his people skills, learning the subtleties of communications the hard way when interacting with difficult, aggressive, and violent people from all walks of life and in all stages of anxiety, anger or crisis.

Scott’s extensive first response operational and protective security policing experience, coupled with his corporate policing engagements (G20 Business and Critical Infrastructure Engagement Manager and the Queensland Police Service Headquarters Building Manager) assisted him to develop a comprehensive suite of skills that has ultimately enabled him to partner with organisations to reduce their risk, enhance their operational security and safety, develop best practice crisis and emergency management solutions, enhance training outcomes, and build greater resilience within their workforce.

With strong values, an ethical approach to business, and capable supportive leadership style, Scott (through his company, Workforce Resilience) continues to be engaged by Australia’s and New Zealand’s most recognisable brands and businesses.

Scott was awarded the QPS Customer Focus – Gold Award, was the winner of the Premiers Award for Excellence (Customer Focus) for his G20 work, has a Graduate Certificate in Policing (Griffith University), and a Bachelor’s Degree majoring in Security and Intelligence (Queensland University of Technology).
