Hello

I’m delighted to e-meet you!

If you’ve landed here, chances are you care about creating a workplace where people thrive—where trust, belonging, and meaningful work go hand in hand with success. That’s what we’re all about at A Human Workplace.

I came to this work through personal experience. After loss and struggle, I found my way back to love—with the support of people who truly cared. Later, leading culture change in a large organization, I saw the profound impact love has in the workplace, too. Fear holds us back, but love lifts us, connects us, and fuels the results we long for.

That’s why my team and I are dedicated to helping leaders and organizations put love at the center—of leadership, of teams, of change itself. Because when we do, workplaces become more human, more creative, and more successful.

We’d love to meet you, hear your story, and explore how we can support your journey. Let’s connect!

For a more loving workplace,

Renée
