Developing People
Our purpose is to assist in creating a humane economy. Our focus has always been to develop people to be the bedrock of a humane economy and world. Behaving as a humanist means creating a system and culture that everybody actively wants to be part of and contribute to.
Being a humanist means…
- treating all the people you work with as the person they are rather than the role they are
- leaders creating environments where people feel safe to speak up, be themselves, have a viewpoint and challenge things for the better
- treating everyone else with respect, kindness, care and understanding, rather than stereotyping, judging, and criticising
- that leaders become more transparent, treating employees as adults and including them in as many things as humanly possible
- enabling, empowering, and extending others every day; reskilling and upskilling them for whatever is around the corner and encouraging everyone to think about themselves and others as a futurist would
- helping team members contribute to the organisation, bringing all their skills, knowledge, and attitude to the game
- inspecting our own unconscious biases, privilege, and work through gender, race and other ‘-isms’ that permeate our society and organisations
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Creating a culture where all employees feel like they belong is crucial but often challenging for organisations. We work with leaders and employees to embark on a personal transformation journey and to create strategies for increasing diversity, equity and inclusion sustainably.


"Our entry-level students totally enjoy CONTRACT's workshops, Karen and Zandi make it fun and interesting. I often pop into their class to chat and to discuss what they are covering for the day and I find their lessons interesting, so interesting that I am planning to do further courses with Karen on the topics to help me in my position at Big Fish."

ELLI YIANNAKARIS

"I highly recommend the CONTRACT trainers as engaging, knowledgeable and high energy facilitators. The workshops they designed and delivered for us were refreshing, fun, and extremely valuable. After every event the participants were raving with positive feedback and practical actions to take away. One said it was the 'best soft skills they'd ever had'."
