About us

We’re Human at Work and we are a strategy lab. We’re a team of thinkers, creatives, explorers and problem solvers. We help leaders and organizations unlock and unleash potential so that their transformation plans stick.

We believe work needs to be fully human. Work that’s convention-busting, rewarding for the company and meaningful to its people that flies in the face of bureaucracy and the systems created by people from another era. Work that is designed by leaders who take their people into the unknown and create spaces where their people feel belonging. Where performance flows from passion and purpose and winning together. We know that great work creates a better world by tapping into what’s exponentially possible and bigger than anything any one of us can do by ourselves.

We develop strategies that are human-led and purpose-built. We help clients that are large and small. We work with organizations that are local and global, for profit and for impact, across industries, professions and social causes. We help you envision what success looks like and feels like, and the strategies to get you there. We ask not what, but why? And we take the time to get to know you and to ask about the impact that you want to make as a leader and as an organization.

We believe that every impactful endeavour led by humans has the potential to unleash potential when it connects with hearts and minds. People in service of something bigger than themselves emotionally connect everyone to their cause. Connecting with hearts and minds is central to our work and even finds its way into our logo.
