We’re on a mission to
make work better

Imagine a world where the word play isn’t dirty

and workplaces are a little less hurty

Now imagine that world - work is just...fun

people can play and get the shit done

Our purpose is to help teams build the kind of group dynamics where it feels safe to speak up, try things, learn together, and manage themselves so leaders can focus on leading.

We believe that when people feel connected and supported, they’re able to truly play with their work. That’s when the good stuff happens: better products, stronger teams, and businesses that thrive from the inside out.

Our
story

We are Stef and G, commonly described as the “odd couple” of work culture. G turned her love for sociology and psychology into a career in HR and operations supporting remote and distributed companies to grow and become great places to work.

Stef is more of a studious performer. He studied clown, theatre, performing arts, education and system psychodynamics, all to feed his hunger to understand how groups of humans work and engage with each other.

When COVID threw us together at a fast-growing startup, we mixed play with work and watched magic happen. The company grew fast, engagement stayed sky-high and the business flourished. People said lovely things like:

"You were the first person who truly made me see the human side of my employer"
"You genuinely made a difference here & you had a big impact on each one of us"

Now, we want to take our learnings to the world and help you make work better, (and way more fun).

Our
Values

​Play for a purpose

Play is serious business. It is a powerful mechanism to improve productivity. We are a team of people trying to get stuff done, and believe play at work is vital for success.

Be good humans

Because it feels better to be good. Good groups are made of good people.

Always be learning

Curiosity will improve our work. Learning from customers, academia, industry experts and each other. 

We want weird

Everyone brings their whole self to work in their own way. Everyone is weird. We value difference and what makes you you.

Discomfort IS GOOD

Leadership is uncomfortable. Growth only happens when we confront something. Discomfort with safe boundaries can help us all work better together.
