Launched in 2009, Purple Co was created to connect People to Purpose through Innovation and Inspiration.
Founder Jo Muirhead became tired of watching her friends, peers, colleagues and even her previous bosses continue on the treadmill of disempowered employment.
Slaves to salary and working hours far exceeding anything that was and is healthy, Jo saw through the addiction to higher salaries, and saw the distress that working without purpose created.
Work can be FUN. It can add VALUE. It can INSPIRE. It can leave you ENERGIZED and wanting MORE.
Operating from a philosophy that education leads to empowered decision making, Purple Co seeks to educate, resource, activate and support people making a career transition or change.
What is truly UNIQUE to Purple Co is our expertise in working with people and organizations where forced change has occurred – forced through RETRENCHMENT; REDUNDANCY; STRESS; BULLYING AND HARASSMENT; PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY; CHRONIC ILLNESS; MERGER; CHANGES TO GOVERNMENT POLICY……
Purple Co recognizes the unique challenges and opportunities of working with insurers, employers and other third parties who have a vested interest in seeing the results Purple Co can deliver.
Whether this be an employer seeking
- workplace conflict management ;
- workplace chronic health management to meet the needs of their staff;
