Our purpose (our 'why')

In 2014, Stephanie Paterson and Emma Ramsay founded our firm to have a very specific niche - to work with organisations with a driving purpose to create a positive impact in the world and who are conscious of their workplace cultures as they deliver that purpose.

Our clients are organisations with a driving purpose to create a positive impact in the world, who are conscious of their workplace culture and ethos/values in how they deliver this purpose.  Our clients are conscious of approaching their people issues in a way which is not only legally compliant and meets their business objectives, but also reflects the purpose, values and culture of the organisation.

We work with our clients to ensure that even the most challenging employment issues are navigated in a way that aligns with the purpose, values and culture of the organisation.  This not only means a better experience for everyone involved, but also achieves more effective overall outcomes. 

We believe that genuinely living purpose and values is key to an organisation and its people thriving. 

Our values

 We see our values as our compass, helping us to make the right decisions and influencing how we go about our business, day to day.

In everything we do, we do so:

- believing in the power of being purposeful

- always remembering we’re all human

- starting with trust and building on that

- welcoming connection from collaboration

- embracing learning from the world around us
