Jane Ward
Founder & CEO

Our people
HR people who got into technology. Not the other way around.
We are not a software company with a services arm. We are HR people who got tired of watching good organisations buy the wrong technology. You will meet the people doing your work, early, and they will still be there at go-live.
200+
HR tech implementations delivered across Aotearoa and Australia.
2017
the year we started, as New Zealand's first specialist HR tech consultancy.
100%
vendor-neutral. No commissions, no referral fees, no kickbacks. Ever.
The team
The people you'll actually work with.
Based across Aotearoa, remote-first, and close enough to be in the room when it matters.

The extended team
Cats & Dogs of TP.
The ones who show up uninvited to video calls and steal the show every time.
Dogs
Lando
Jane's dog
Kick-started the TP puppy trend during Covid lockdown. Leader of the puppy pack. Strengths include sniffing out food in handbags and shredding office paperwork. Working on his active listening skills.
Mylo
Rachel's Golden Retriever
Super chilled and fun-loving. Loves swimming in any body of water and rolling in mud or sand. A great guard dog — always gives it away with his constantly wagging tail.
Min
(Mostly) Vizsla
Boundless energy, boundless love, and a very cheeky nature. Has finally (most of the time) learned the command 'drop'. More than anything she loves long wild walks through forest and farm.
Bowie & Freddie
Louise's Springer Spaniels
Bowie loves zoomies, swimming, and firmly taking himself off to bed each night. Freddie is the new addition, currently driving his big brother crazy with his razor blade teeth.
Franklin & Cheddar
Aleisha's English Setter & Springer Spaniel
Love farm runs, doggy day care, and Sunday 'puppacinos'. Regularly bossed around by their cat siblings. Dislikes include baths and electric fences — in that order.
Billie & Percy
Shepsky & Huntaway Greyhound X
Billie is too clever for her own good and regularly tests everyone's patience. Percy is chilled, mud-loving, and will do absolutely anything for a treat. Together they are a handful.
Olive
Golden Irish
Olive is a Golden Irish, a golden retriever x Irish setter puppy. She loves people, water and rolling in dead things. She enjoys daily walks exploring the beach and river and makes friends everywhere she goes. By day she loves the hose, a wash, and spreading the recycling out on the driveway. She tries to incite play with her fellow cat and chicken pets without much success, but is adored by her two human brothers. By night she enjoys a belly rub and long human embrace.
Cats
Boris & Talulah
Aleisha's cats
Firmly boss Franklin and Cheddar around. Senior residents of the Millington household.
Arthur
The newest addition
Just arrived and already supervising. Bio coming soon.
How we work
A few things we won't budge on.
01
Independent, always
We don't sell software and we don't take commissions. Our advice is the advice we would give a friend.
02
Plain English
No jargon, no transformation decks. We name the awkward thing directly and tell you what we would do.
03
We stay
Support doesn't disappear once you sign. The people who scoped your project are the people who deliver it.
