Our values at PeopleO

Because genuine relationships are more effective than any strategy.

1. Humanity

We put people at the center—with all their strengths, blind spots, and potential. We believe that genuine relationships are the key to lasting success.

2. Partnership & Commitment

We do not see ourselves as traditional consultants, but rather as genuine partners who roll up their sleeves and provide long-term support. As experienced scale-up advisors, our relationships with clients are characterized by trust and genuine commitment.

3. Practical relevance & Clarity

We don't deliver abstract concepts, but clear, pragmatic solutions for your organizational development that can be implemented in everyday life – because change only succeeds when it is understandable and tangible.

4. Trust & Openness

We create spaces where honest communication, constructive reflection, and open discussion of conflicts are possible. Trust is the basis for genuine cooperation.

5. Development & Growth

Personal development and cultural change go hand in hand. We accompany teams and managers on their journey toward greater clarity, emotional maturity, and shared alignment.

6. Attitude & Responsibility

Change begins with each individual. We promote a culture of personal responsibility, self-reflection, and authentic leadership because attitude is more effective than pure processes.

7. Sustainability & Impact

Change begins with each individual. We promote a culture of personal responsibility, self-reflection, and authentic leadership because attitude is more effective than pure processes.

Values that are not written on slides – but have an impact in everyday life.

Our work is based on clear principles that we live by together with you—we don't just advise you on them. Get to know the attitude that makes real change possible.

Strong corporate culture – the key to your company's success

About us

Organizational consulting that moves people

We help founders, executives, and HR managers overcome the real challenges in communication, leadership, and corporate culture—before they become obstacles to growth. High turnover, lack of motivation, and declining productivity do not arise by chance, but from a lack of clarity, excessive demands, and a lack of shared cultural understanding. PeopleO delivers customized organizational development for scale-ups and growing companies.


We step in where internal resources are insufficient: we provide long-term support, create clear structures, and develop lived values and visions. The result: noticeably improved attitudes and collaboration within the company – for stronger leadership, enthusiastic employees, and a corporate culture that enables healthy growth.

Individual services for attractive employers

For your future and lasting success

The People & Culture sector is vibrant, diverse, and constantly changing—just like your company. PeopleO supports you in developing and successfully establishing a strong and authentic employer brand—from strategic planning to practical implementation. We take a close look at your situation: from numerous projects with companies in a wide range of industries, we know that satisfied and committed employees who identify with their employer are the key to sustainable corporate success. A vibrant corporate culture not only strengthens employee loyalty, but also makes you visible and attractive to new talent.

Cultural analysis & cultural development

Building an attractive employer brand and sustainably developing your corporate culture are inextricably linked. PeopleO supports startups and SMEs from all industries in creating a positive, future-proof corporate culture—and in using it specifically for modern, effective employer branding. A respectful approach not only increases employee satisfaction and strengthens team cohesion, but also impresses in recruiting and retains qualified, motivated professionals in the long term.


In a comprehensive cultural analysis, we work with you to assess the current situation – from employee satisfaction and existing structures and processes to lived values and visions. We focus on leadership, teams, and individuals, highlighting strengths and identifying obstacles that hinder development.


Topics such as resilience, mental health, and wellbeing are central components of this process. To make development measurable, we define relevant cultural KPIs and create a clear dashboard that allows you to track progress transparently and manage it in a targeted manner. This makes cultural development visible, effective, and sustainable – both internally and externally.

 

Onboarding

Nowadays, successful recruiting means more than just finding qualified specialists, even though this is already a major challenge in times of labor shortages. Often, the focus is exclusively on professional qualifications, while cultural fit and identification with your corporate culture are neglected. PeopleO therefore accompanies you throughout the entire recruiting process—from job posting to application and selection to successful integration into the team.


A real benefit for your company only arises when new employees fit in not only professionally, but also culturally. That's why we develop culture-centered onboarding programs that create a sense of belonging right from the start – with inviting welcome formats, clear integration processes, and buddy concepts that make it easier to get started.


To ensure that the start is not left to chance, we establish regular check-ins in the first few months, structured reflection formats for new employees, and practical guides for managers to consciously shape the onboarding process. Attracting the right candidate doesn't end with the signing of the contract. You also need to impress during onboarding to ensure that a successful start turns into a long-term collaboration. PeopleO ensures that the image of your employer brand and corporate culture presented during recruitment is also reflected in everyday life – for employee retention, trust, and strong teamwork right from the start.

 

Performance & Personnel Development

The demands of modern working life are constantly changing—as are the requirements for contemporary and reliable corporate management. Just as important as the professional development of your team is that management continuously addresses the needs of employees and modern leadership approaches. 


This is where PeopleO comes in: with innovative, tried-and-tested concepts that fit perfectly with your corporate culture. Our holistic approach to performance management and personnel development focuses on growth rather than pure evaluation. Instead of traditional performance measurement, we use modern feedback and assessment systems that specifically promote development. In addition, we rely on effective peer and self-reflection tools that create space for honest feedback and personal learning. For us, future-proof leadership means not controlling employees, but empowering, inspiring, and strengthening them. We take a holistic view of employee performance: performance is not only measured by key figures, but motivation, potential, and quality of collaboration are also actively taken into account. For targeted development, we conduct in-depth potential analyses to identify hidden strengths. Based on this, we develop individual development plans that combine personal goals with business requirements – for greater clarity, orientation, and impact. Another important component is clearly defined career paths and competency models that make orientation and development opportunities transparent. This enables employees to plan and pursue their personal and professional development in a targeted manner. 


In addition, we support you in talent management to identify key employees early on, promote them, and retain them in your company in the long term. With tailor-made programs, you can strengthen talent sustainably and secure the future viability of your organization. Another central component is the implementation of target systems such as OKRs (Objectives and Key Results).


We help you set realistic and meaningful goals and integrate modern goal management methods into your organization. This creates more transparency, focus, and personal responsibility within the team. Through a thorough analysis of your company's needs and the individual strengths of your team, we help you to promote specific skills and strengthen your company in the long term. Set new impulses for career paths or use innovative formats such as collegial case consultation for managers. This will increase the motivation, satisfaction, and loyalty of your employees in the long term.

Team Development

A strong corporate culture is created above all by high-performing teams. This is exactly where team development with PeopleO comes in: we analyze existing structures, develop tailor-made team-building measures, and provide you with long-term support in your everyday work. With our external perspective, we reveal potential that is often overlooked internally and help you to make targeted use of both professional and personal strengths.


The focus is on an open communication and feedback culture, positive team dynamics, and constructive conflict management. Psychological safety is just as important: creativity, innovation, and genuine collaboration can only flourish when all team members feel confident enough to express their opinions. We use workshops, mediation, and practical tools to lay the foundation for trust and clarity.


Whether internal formats, outdoor training, or individual team-building measures—PeopleO offers a wide range of services and, if desired, accompanies you not only on a one-off basis, but as a long-term partner for successful team development.

 

Change Management

Change is part of everyday life in every organization today—whether due to internal developments, new technologies, or external market changes. But change processes are often complex and challenging, especially when well-established structures have been in place for many years and suddenly no longer work. In such moments, an external perspective helps to avoid hasty decisions, provide guidance, and consciously shape change.


PeopleO supports companies with many years of experience in change management to implement change clearly, professionally, and sustainably. We develop individual strategies, ensure transparent communication, and actively involve employees and managers. In doing so, we guide teams through uncertainties, strengthen constructive ways of dealing with resistance, and create psychological safety as the basis for successful collaboration.


To ensure that changes are not only planned but also effectively implemented, we rely on practical methods such as OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), Lego Serious Play, Kanban, Design Thinking, and Scrum. This results in creative solutions that make your organization more agile, innovative, and future-proof.


Our goal is to support change in a way that preserves your corporate culture and core values while creating new structures that will last in the long term.

Trainings

Our investment in your team goes far beyond traditional employee development. Tailored to your corporate culture and current challenges, we offer customized training solutions that not only strengthen the skills of each individual, but also consolidate your employer brand in the long term. Our training program covers all relevant topics—from leadership skills and communication skills to self-management and resilience to team development and organizational change.


In this way, we support you in establishing an open feedback and communication culture, strengthening cooperation, and optimally developing the potential of your employees. In addition, we accompany you with training courses on agile methods, conflict management, change skills, and mission statement and value development. Our formats are practical, interactive, and can be flexibly tailored to your individual needs – whether as individual training, a series of workshops, or an integral part of your personnel development strategy. With our holistic training courses, you can strengthen the motivation, satisfaction, and performance of your teams – laying the foundation for sustainable success and an attractive corporate culture.

 

Externes Employer Branding

Strong external employer branding starts with an authentic foundation. Together with you, we develop an Employer Value Proposition (EVP) that is based on your actual corporate culture and clearly communicates your uniqueness as an employer. Using effective storytelling, we design formats that bring your corporate culture to life for the outside world and optimize the candidate experience so that potential talent is enthusiastic from the first contact to the hiring process.


We support you in turning your employees into active brand ambassadors – with programs that promote genuine engagement and provide authentic insights. This creates trust and closeness to your brand. As the interface between employer branding, leadership culture, and collaboration models, we ensure that your external image is consistent and that your values are both lived internally and presented convincingly to the outside world. This makes you visible to talent, increases your attractiveness as an employer, and strengthens your long-term competitiveness.

 

M&A & Wachstumsintegration

Successful mergers, acquisitions, and rapid company growth require more than just financial and structural planning—they need a clear, lived corporate culture.


We support you with cultural due diligence to analyze the cultural prerequisites, strengths, and potential areas of conflict before a merger or acquisition. After the merger, we accompany you through the cultural integration process to ensure that values, working methods, and expectations come together harmoniously. This creates a stable foundation for cooperation, motivation, and long-term success. Even in phases of rapid growth, we ensure cultural alignment so that your corporate culture remains consistent despite new teams, structures, and markets. This not only protects your attractiveness as an employer, but also ensures that leadership, collaboration, and identity are strengthened in every phase of growth.

 

Hybrid & Digital Culture:

In an increasingly hybrid working world, flexible and digital ways of working are key to business success. We help you prepare your managers for remote leadership and promote digital collaboration in distributed teams. This keeps your team connected, motivated, and productive, even across distances. We design effective virtual onboarding formats for you that give new employees an authentic welcome and a smooth start, even online.


We also advise you on the selection and introduction of digital feedback and team culture tools so that regular exchange and appreciative cooperation are firmly anchored in your organization. With our support, you can create a hybrid corporate culture that combines flexible working models with a strong team and leadership culture – for greater commitment, cohesion, and innovative strength.

Frequently asked questions

For transparent answers that really help you move forward

Corporate culture encompasses the values, behaviors, and attitudes that shape how people interact and work together within a company. It has a significant influence on motivation, productivity, and employee retention. A strong, positive culture creates an attractive working environment, promotes innovation, and strengthens competitiveness.

PeopleO helps you shape your authentic employer brand based on your corporate culture. Together, we develop a clear employer value proposition, optimize your candidate experience, and activate employees as brand ambassadors—so you can attract the right talent and retain them for the long term.

We work with proven methods such as cultural analyses, employee surveys, 360° feedback, and cultural KPI dashboards. Digital tools help to make cultural development measurable and to track the effectiveness of measures transparently.

Our process begins with a comprehensive analysis of your current corporate culture. Based on this, we develop tailor-made concepts and measures. We actively support you in the implementation process, for example through workshops, coaching, and training, and ensure sustainable success through continuous monitoring.

Our consulting services start at €499 and are tailored to your individual needs. This means you can make valuable contributions to your corporate culture and employer brand even with smaller investments. For more extensive projects, we create transparent offers that are precisely tailored to your goals.

We offer flexible, tailor-made solutions—from short Culture Quick Checks to long-term programs. This allows you to start small, celebrate your first successes, and invest step by step as you see the added value.

 The best time is always now—before problems such as staff turnover, overload, or conflicts become too big. Investing in leadership and culture at the right time builds a stable foundation for sustainable growth and development.

We attach great importance to ensuring that values, attitudes, and behaviors are not just written down on paper, but are lived out in everyday life. Through practical workshops that translate behavior into practice (e.g., through behavioral anchors), individual coaching, and regular evaluations, we ensure real change.

We support managers in developing their inner attitude, creating clarity in roles and responsibilities, and improving their communication and feedback skills—all with the aim of leading more effectively and empathetically.

Time and resources are particularly scarce during periods of high growth or stress. As external partners, we take on strategic cultural work, relieve you of some of your day-to-day business, and ensure that important issues are not left unattended.

We analyze the causes of staff turnover and motivation problems and work with you to develop strategies for improving leadership, communication, and collaboration—creating an environment where employees are happy to stay and develop their potential.

We work with you to define clear success criteria—such as employee satisfaction, productivity, retention, and lived values—and regularly evaluate progress to ensure that you get the desired benefits.
