Guiding
Philosophy
Boilerplate
We are a leading Employee Experience Consulting firm committed to helping businesses design a full lifecycle people strategy. At the heart of our offering is enhancing employee engagement to deliver exceptional business outcomes. Our research-backed approach builds strategies, interventions and programs that create meaningful experiences, cultivate talent, and fuel long-term success for established organizations willing to tap into their most relevant resources - their people.
Leave it better
Leave every environment better than we found it. This means actively seeking opportunities to make improvements which contribute to positive change. We believe in creating lasting value by fostering growth and sustainable progress by ensuring our actions uplift employees, organizations and the world around us.
We are not the Smartest People in the Room
We are grounded in humility. Embracing this mindset encourages us to listen more, learn from others and approach every interaction with an open mind. We value diverse perspectives and the collective intelligence around us.
Curiosity and Innovation are Bedfellows
Curiosity and innovation are natural bedfellows, with one fueling the other. Our curious mindset generates new ideas which challenges assumptions to uncover opportunities for growth. This inquisitive spirit paves the way for meaningful outcomes.
The Work is Sacred
Work is more than a task, it’s a meaningful pursuit that deserves dedication, respect and passion. Every action taken, be it big or small, contributes to a greater purpose. By upholding the dignity of work, we not only elevate our craft but also the workplaces we serve.
Heart. Head. Hand . The order of most things we are passionate about
Shantell Thomas
Managing Founder
My drive is simple - to help build workplaces where I’d genuinely like to work! I built my career as a marketer in the technology industry, which is known for groundbreaking products that shape our lives in countless ways. But behind every innovation, are people. I am deeply interested in the workplace experience of the people behind those innovations. That deep interest became the passion which shifted my focus from marketing products to focusing on the people behind them. My journey started first as a Diversity & Inclusion practitioner, then evolved into an Employee Experience leader. Most recently I delivered an enhanced experience for an organization size of 25K+ employees at Amazon Web Services. Across the span of a 25 year career, I have had the privilege of contributing to other Global Fortune 500 technology companies including IBM, Avalara, and Lenovo.
As {iOS} employee number one, my mission is to bring an {EX2CX} approach to your organization - demonstrating the immense value of engaging employees with the same intentionality and care as you would your customers.
