Our Story
WorkTheory Co. specialise in personalised, scalable fractional solutions for small to medium businesses. Founded by Principal Consultant Phillipa Gimmillaro, we offer expertise in workplace design, diversity and inclusion, employee engagement and wellbeing, responsible AI and HR governance.
WorkTheory was created to address a vital gap in the market—delivering strategic, executive leadership for startups, small, and mid-sized New Zealand businesses on a part-time/fractional basis. From tourism and technology to retail, we partner with organisations across diverse industries to design beautifully simplistic HR systems that drive sustainable growth, ensure workforce stability and minimise risk.
Our agile approach empowers businesses to scale efficiently, unlocking their full potential without the complexity and expense of hiring a full-time HR manager or team until it's really necessary.
