About Us

MAPIEN = Map + Sapien

We solve people problems using experience, technical capability, data and behavioural science. The reference to the scientific name for humans is also the Latin word for Wise, thereby capturing the specialist expertise and multi-disciplinary wisdom we bring to our clients.

We are people cartographers.  We create bespoke maps for clients to navigate their landscape by anticipating and identifying the obstacles in their path; leading our clients through step by step.

Our promise is to partner with clients to advise and deliver the people impact they desire.

We are MAPIEN.

We are Workplace Strategists.

Our strengths, and the way we set ourselves apart from others, come from:

  • Looking at projects, issues and tasks holistically, from a multi-disciplinary perspective
  • Knowing what questions to ask and applying our extensive experience, proven methodologies and intellectual rigour in addressing those questions
  • Being industry leading experts on the latest legislation, relevant research and at the forefront of current organisational trends
  • Understanding the practical impact in workplaces of decisions and actions by leaders and managers
  • Believing that people make the greatest impact to your business.

Mapien recognises that we have both the opportunity and the obligation to contribute positively to the marketplace in which we operate, to the people with whom we work, to the environment in which we live and to the community of which we are a part. Our contribution is aligned with our core values of Integrity, Flexibility, Leadership, Courage, Excellence and Fairness.

We can help your business achieve the people impact you desire

This partnership brings together the rich history and experience of both teams and provides broader capability across our specialist services; including employee and industrial relations, human resource management, organisational development and business migration.
