There's no secret to empowering your team. There's an app.
It doesn’t matter where you work or how high up the ladder you are. You want to know you’re valued. You want to feel challenged and engaged.
You want to make a difference. We all want to make an impact.
Behind all the buzzwords, you need the right tools. And that’s the science, the tech, and the AI-enabled solutions we provide.
Say hello to People First.

Great people + employee experience = peak performance
Your people, enhanced by AI
People First weaves a range of innovative and intuitive AI features into its core. These tools boost human capability, giving everyone the chance to develop their skills and freeing up time to focus on key strategic tasks. We identify the areas where AI will make a real difference.
Why People First?
People First is a unified AI-enabled platform. Built from the ground up to work together seamlessly and flow. No clunky integrations. No need for employees and managers to log in to different platforms. No unnecessary distractions.
Plan your path
Having a shared vision and clear goals helps you identify the behaviours, characteristics and skills you need to get there. And that enables you to hire amazing people easily and quickly. Transform those anxieties that come with starting a new role into confidence of the impact they’re capable of.
Communicate your goals
Every now and then, we need some reassurance. And giving and receiving that should be easy, right?
From showing employees what to expect on their first day, sharing the latest company news, recognising amazing work, holding regular check-ins, giving visibility of what they earn, as they earn it, or notifications of actions required, it’s time to make communication seamless.
Grow your people
You can provide a culture of learning and growth and pathways that provide the autonomy for employees to define their career. You need visibility of the skills you have. Where there’s gaps. Where there’s opportunities to learn, to progress. To evolve.
Connect the flow
We want to make connecting with others easy.
You can help employees easily identify their network and connect the dots that keep work flowing. From connecting one-to-one, to handling stakeholders across the spectrum of work, you’ll smash every project out the park.
