Our office is based in Essex however, we operate without borders meaning that we cover other areas outside of Essex.

Our slogan is Connect, Relate & Grow  

We want to you to replace the label of employer and employeeand connect with your employees as people. We believe that the employer and employee label describe a legal relationship which is necessary in a business context. However, it can also present as a barrier (e.g., “us and them”) to connecting and relating to your employees as people. We can partner with your business to foster an environment that is all about appreciating people.

It is well documented that people are the best asset of a business, and we believe that by relating to your employees as people, efficiency will improve, there will be an increase in loyalty and trust which is good for an organisational brand and profit margins.
