About Diana Hartley
Workplace Harmony Consultant
Having recently retired from my position as Chief Executive Officer of the Nova Scotia Labour Board, as a professional organizational leader, I have years of demonstrated experience effectively leading teams, managing priorities, developing strategies and achieving operational goals within a provincial government organization. I have significant knowledge and expertise in interpreting workplace laws (e.g. labour relations, employments standards, OHS) and providing sound advice on the application of laws in the workplace. I am guided by the “keep it simple” principle, and I love designing practical solutions and effective strategies that both inspire the team and produce desired results. I am a biracial 7th generation African Nova Scotian who deeply values equity, diversity, and inclusion for all. I am skilled in operational planning; workforce and succession planning; team engagement and change management strategies; mediation/alternative dispute resolution (ADR); and, workplace investigations and assessments.

Operational Planning
Your pathway to setting strategic goals.
One of the most significant advantages of operational planning is getting everyone on the same page, working together like a well-oiled machine to reach your strategic organizational goals. I offer operational planning methodologies and techniques designed to achieve a comprehensive planning process, holistic discussions, and strategic outcomes. My services include stakeholder identification and consultation, SWOT analysis, contingency planning, communication and change management planning, all aimed at creating a detailed actionable plan to execute strategic goals with clearly defined tactics and timelines.

Conflict Resolution Services
Your pathway to workplace harmony and productivity.
Conflict in the workplace can have a significant impact on team morale and operational performance; however, managed effectively, conflict can lead to improved decision making and positive outcomes. I offer comprehensive dispute resolution services (e.g. mediation), workplace investigations, and workplace assessments aimed to uncover the source of behaviours or systems causing conflict and disengagement in the workplace. I will share my observations and provide recommendations for improvement. Contact me to find out how I can help your organization achieve workplace harmony, healing and employee engagement.
Strategic Workforce and Succession Planning
Your pathway to sustainable organizational growth.
The evolving organizational landscape, influenced by such things as changes in leadership, technology, economic conditions and societal changes, is a dynamic environment in which organizations must adopt an innovation mindset and embrace changes to structure, processes and culture. This evolving landscape can present challenges as well as opportunities. I can assist you with developing and implementing workforce and succession planning strategies designed to help your organization adapt to this ever-changing landscape and continue to achieve long-term success. Book an introductory meeting to learn more about how I can help your operation thrive.
Traditional Mentoring Services

Mentorship is a powerful tool that nurtures talent, promotes equity, and cultivates resilience. Research consistently highlights the critical role mentors play in helping mentees overcome barriers and seize opportunities. I can provide you with a supportive traditional mentor relationship. Sharing my knowledge, wisdom and expertise, I will help you set career goals, navigate your career path, develop skills and behaviours needed to achieve your career aspirations.

"As a labour lawyer of 50 years, 38 of which were as Executive Director and Chief Negotiator for the Registered Nurses Union of Newfoundland and Labrador, I highly recommend the work of Diana Hartley. She is both tech-savvy and results orientated. Diana is incredibly well organized and has created processes that are the envy of other provinces. Her knowledge of labor relations has led me to reach out to her on more than one occasion for advice. She will get your job done."

"I have known Diana Hartley for many years, having worked in government for 30 years at senior levels, including Deputy Minister of Environment and Deputy Minister of Labour. Now retired. I have spent the last 18 years as an employer representative on the Nova Scotia Labour Board.
I have had the pleasure to observe Diana firsthand and with her many skills and amazing personality, has risen to the Chief Executive Officer position of the Labour
Board. The DH Mgmt Consulting website outlines the various services offered in conflict resolution services, including operational planning, strategic workforce and succession planning and traditional monitoring services which Diana has developed over her career and has very successfully implemented.
Diana has outstanding personal qualities, including superior intelligence, great depth of experience, a client first mindset and great communication skills. Also, she has a wonderful personality and great to be around."

"I had the fortune to work under Diana’s leadership for just under six years. Through ever shifting challenges in our work environment with staffing, executive management, and COVID, Diana was an ever-present leader with a calming, charismatic way of centering the team and bringing our priorities back to focus. She coached us to define our goals and how we would achieve them as a group and individually, while allowing for flexibility and pivoting along the way as we progressed. Diana is deeply dedicated to her work and being responsive to the team and the individual’s needs with care, thoughtfulness, and a pragmatic approach that left a sense of value, purpose, and direction."
