What you get:
  • Leadership and org diagnostic
  • Symptom-to-root-cause mapping
  • Prioritized action plan

Build

Infrastructure, not just one-time programs. We design systems that integrate standards into every talent-related decision and become more robust as you scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size companies do you work with?

Scaling companies from 50 to 500+ employees, typically Series A through post-IPO. The common thread isn't size, it's the moment: you've outgrown your current infrastructure and need systems that scale with you.

What are the actual deliverables?

It depends on the diagnosis. Every engagement starts with understanding your specific gaps. Deliverables range from performance strategies and leadership blueprints to calibration playbooks, hiring toolkits, and board-ready measurement frameworks. You walk away with documents, systems, and processes you own and can run without us.

We already have a People team. Why would we need wrkhappy?

Your People team is running the day-to-day. wrkhappy builds the infrastructure they operate on. We design the performance systems, leadership frameworks, and measurement architecture that your internal team then owns and runs. Most of our clients have strong People leaders who bring us in for the build, not the operations.

What if we don't have a People team yet?

That's common, especially at earlier stages. We build the infrastructure and train whoever will own it going forward, whether that's a future People hire, your ops lead, or your leadership team directly. For companies that need ongoing support, our Partner retainer gives you a senior leadership and performance voice without the full-time hire.

What does a typical engagement look like?

It starts with a 30-minute discovery call to understand what's happening and where it hurts. Within a week, we come back with a point of view, a recommended scope, and a clear timeline with investment. Work typically begins 2-4 weeks from the first call. Depending on the scope, engagements range from a 2-4 week diagnostic to a 6-12 month embedded partnership.

How involved does our leadership team need to be?

Enough to make it stick. We typically need executive sponsorship and access to 2-3 key stakeholders for discovery. Beyond that, we do the build. Leadership reviews and approves at milestones, but we're not asking for hours of their time every week.
