WELCOME TO EMBER

We help you spark change by putting purpose, values, and people at the centre of your business.

We aren't your typical workplace culture consultants. Think of us as your guides, advocates, and companions on your journey. We're the heartbeat behind the scenes, shaping change and sparking evolution. At Ember, everyone counts; and every connection at work can be a step toward transformation.

Spark Change is more than just a tagline to us. We truly believe that thriving workplaces require a genuine commitment to organizational values, an openness to accept that we will not always get it right, as well as a willingness to learn from and take responsibility for the mistakes we may make along the way. These are the critical components of learning and growth.

Our team, with backgrounds in coaching, leadership, culture, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), as well as psychological safety, helps organizations understand the employee experience and guides the leadership team in creating a workplace that's caring, connected, innovative, productive, profitable.
