HR Built for Performance,
Not Paperwork.
When the HR challenge is complex, high-stakes, or politically sensitive, Peoplebiz is the firm executives call.
The Best Minds in HR
Led by Kristi Searle, a CPHR Fellow and one of the most certified HR professionals in Canada, Peoplebiz has spent over two decades helping organizations navigate their most complex people challenges. From Fortune 500 boardrooms to First Nations governance tables, our team has been trusted in the rooms where the stakes are highest and discretion is non-negotiable.

We’re Often Called When…
A workplace investigation has gone sideways and the board is asking questions. A restructure is creating legal exposure and your team doesn't have the capacity. Your Indigenous engagement strategy exists on paper but isn't translating into real outcomes. A senior departure has exposed gaps in succession and governance that can't wait.
These are the moments that define organizations. We've been in these rooms before, and we know how to move through them with precision, discretion, and a clear plan.
Proven HR Strategies That Deliver Results
We don't sell templates or off-the-shelf programs. Every engagement starts with your business reality: where you are, what's at stake, and where you need to be. From there, we build and execute HR strategies that hold up under pressure and deliver results that executives can actually measure.
No Other HR Firm Knows Indigenous Workplaces Like We Do
For over two decades, we've partnered with Indigenous governments, organizations, and communities across Canada to build HR strategies that respect Indigenous values and deliver real outcomes. We understand the unique governance structures, community expectations, and workforce challenges that Indigenous employers face because we've lived this work, not just studied it.
Great Workplaces Don’t Happen by Accident…
They happen by design. The organizations that outperform don't just hire well or write better policies. They build HR strategies that align people with purpose and performance with culture.
That's the work we do, and we've been doing it for over twenty years.
Let's Start With a Conversation
Most of our client relationships begin with a confidential call. No proposals, no commitments, no pressure. Just a direct conversation with a senior member of our team about what you're facing and whether we're the right fit.
And if we're not, we'll tell you.
More Than Just an Acknowledgement…
Our work takes place on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil- Waututh), Qʼwa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), Mathxwí (Matsqui), and SEMYOME (Semiahmoo) Nations.
As an organization led by someone of Métis descent, our commitment to reconciliation goes beyond just words. We know that Indigenous Peoples continue to face systemic injustices and economic barriers. We don't just acknowledge this - through our actions, we contribute to a future where the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples are honoured, upheld, and strengthened.
