What's our story?

HOPLAB by Southpac International Group introduced Human & Organisational Performance (HOP) to Australia and New Zealand in 2017.

Since then, we have worked with organisations from diverse industries to understand how work happens. With this understanding, we then guide decision-makers to reflect, learn and grow – harnessing the potential within their people.

Through our experience, we can offer a unique perspective and an organic approach that drives more sustainable results.

Our Approach

We’re focused on the work, and ways to improve it

Every organisation and the people within it have extraordinary potential to thrive. We believe the key to tapping into this potential is to cultivate environments where we can learn and improve. Here's how we help organisations enhance safety, performance and engagement.

Exploring perspectives and beliefs

No matter what size, status or sector, every organisation has blind spots and unexamined beliefs. Holding up a mirror to consider and critique these provides an opportunity to explore personal and organisational values. We guide you to reflect, learn and grow.

Facilitating learning and insights

The modern workplace is complex, and we rely on the adaptability of our people to make things go well. Listening and learning about operations provides insights for an informed leadership team. In turn, having an understanding of the real issues allows for better decision making. The knowledge and expertise exists within your people – we help you to harness its potential.

Creating engaging spaces

Trust is hard. However, creating the conditions for your people to contribute and feel valued can have a profound, positive impact. We support you to cultivate conditions that allow trust and collaboration to emerge.

Laying foundations to build confidence and capacity

Every organisation is unique. That means a tailored approach is needed to build on existing strengths, tapping into the excellence you already have. By tactfully considering what you need, we empower you to make ingrained and sustained improvements.
