About The Relevant Workplace

We created The Relevant Workplace with one goal in mind, help organizations find and operationalize their purpose, so everyone loves where they work. As business advisors, marketing executives and hiring experts, we have seen businesses and departments struggle to find meaning in both economic downturns and unprecedented upswings. The constant winners were always those who knew where they were going, what they stood for, and had every employee excited and engaged about their destination.

We are wholly invested in our client’s success. We have served clients from the smallest just starting, reaching for fortune, all the way to the fortune 500. When you work with us, you will know we do not consult and run. We are dedicated from start to finish and give every client everything we have.

We are thoughtful about who we work with and only partner with clients who share our belief that relevant workplaces are healthier, have more potential for long-term growth and give every employee a chance to love where they work.

Our partnership with The Predictive Index allows us to bring data and a robust software platform to the process of hiring, employee engagement and team design. All to help our clients not only know where they are going but make sure they have the best possible teams and employees to get them there.
