“70% of Millennial employees believe they can make an even greater impact on our world than the leaders who run organisations.”
*Weber Shandwick: Employee Activism in the Age of Purpose
We are a learning hub for employee-led change. We embolden professionals to confidently organise and take positive action around climate change and social justice in their workplaces.
No more operating undercover. It’s time for out-in-the-open conversations. Want to know how an activist mindset can help you mobilise, organise and drive positive change from within?
Sign up for our online course in positive workplace activism. Or hire us for in-house programs, workshops and inspiring talks.

What is EMPLOYEE Activism?
Young leaders today long to drive real change. You no longer tolerate social inequities and environmental degradation as a result of business-as-usual and want to be part of the solution. You are the impact generation. A growing generation sparked by an activist mindset. Organizing is happening in private, in schools and on the streets. Your workplace is only the next step.
The purpose of workplace activism is to make the workplace a place for positive change. A place that supports actions that are transparent in their aims and serve the agenda of uplifting the collective, reducing inequalities and respecting and regenerating the planet.
We facilitate conversations and constructive dialogue between senior management and employees. We help to bridge the divide in organisations. Make companies more ambitious and accelerate positive change.

Change is an ongoing process, not a quick fix. Our approach looks at three areas of development commonly referred to as leading self, leading others and leading the system. Each strategy for change reflects an area of growth that can help you become more effective. You can start your journey today by looking through the strategies page for insights. Discover the power of listening, engaging others through organising principles and learn about the energy hidden in resistance
