Our vision is for every workplace to be inspirational: a place where people and teams grow and thrive along with the organisation itself.
Inspirational Workplaces was founded in Australia in 1986 with the deep desire to help businesses do ‘the people stuff’ better. When we started, assessment, leadership, and culture were only just slowing coming onto many organisations’ radars. Thirty years later, we are now a highly experienced firm of Business Psychologists providing leadership solutions to globally recognised companies around the world.
We differentiate ourselves by only employing Psychologists to help select and develop our clients’ people. We believe that Psychologists uniquely have the depth and breadth of training to provide developmental experiences for people that are evidenced-based, genuinely transformational, and commercially astute.
