Habanero named one of the Best Workplaces in Professional Services

We're honoured to be included on the 2021 list of Best Workplaces in Professional Services from Great Place to Work.

Professional services organizations bring specific expertise, capabilities and capacity to organizations who are often engaged in solving unique or particularly challenging problems. The way we work is rapidly changing, and it’s impacting all industries. As an employee experience company, we are very proud to be part of a larger community of professional services firms designing the new world of work.

“For the last 18 months, we have been working to support tougher problems that touch the very core of organizations and their cultures, like reimagining work in the post-pandemic world,” says Habanero President Steven Fitzgerald. “It’s an honour and a privilege to be invited into that work. We take it seriously.”

Professional services is by its nature, ever-changing, dynamic, complex, knowledge work. At Habanero, we are experts at complexity. We practice empathetic listening and use human-centred, Agile methodologies to co-design evidence-based solutions based that meet the unique needs of our client organizations.

Success is more than implementation; it’s about creating great experiences for our employees too. “Habs make hundreds of independent decisions every day and are constantly solving new problems,” says Director of Employee Experience James Sloane. “We could not do this work well without a strong culture of autonomy that allows our employees to work in the way feels best and to rely on each other for support, complementary skills and collaborative thinking.
