People, culture and wellbeing, grounded in clear, balanced, and ethical leadership.
Sattva People Consultancy supports organisations and individuals to build healthier, more conscious ways of working with human resources (HR) professionals.
We work across the UK, US, Europe, Ireland and India, partnering with leaders, teams, and employees to navigate growth, complexity, and challenge with care and integrity.
Our work brings together human resources and culture expertise with wellbeing, mindfulness, and holistically informed leadership. We believe that business success and human success are inseparable, and that workplaces thrive when people are supported as whole humans, not managed as resources.
At Sattva People Consultancy, we understand that:
Leadership is a responsibility, not a status
Wellbeing is foundational, not an add-on
Fairness and care must coexist with performance
People do their best work when they feel safe, valued, and heard
Our work is calm, thoughtful, and deliberately paced. We value depth over volume, trust over speed, and integrity over noise.

What is Sattva?
Sattva People Consultancy is informed by the principle of Sattva which is a Sanskrit term meaning purity, goodness, light, and essence. In Hindu and yogic philosophy, it describes one of the three fundamental qualities of human experience, alongside rajas (activity and drive) and tamas (inertia and heaviness).
Sattva represents balance, harmony, clarity, and truth.
It is associated with calm awareness, ethical action, and a state of being that supports wisdom, contentment, and growth.
Traditionally, sattva is cultivated through mindful living, reflection, selfless action, and care for oneself and others.
At Sattva People Consultancy, this principle shapes how we work, with steadiness rather than reactivity, clarity rather than noise, and care rather than force. It reflects an intention to support people and organisations to act thoughtfully, responsibly, and with integrity.
In practice, this means approaching people and work with thoughtfulness rather than reactivity, service rather than ego, and long-term impact rather than short-term fixes.
* Work is a human experience as much as an organisational one *

Cultural awareness, spirituality and mindfulness shape how we work, but never what others are expected to believe. All our work is inclusive, non-dogmatic, and grounded in professional human resources and organisational development standards.
Our focus is always on fairness, dignity, and ethical responsibility, particularly in moments of uncertainty or change.
We support organisations to design people and human resources strategies, leadership practices, and cultures that enable sustainable performance and genuine wellbeing. We also provide independent, confidential support to employees navigating complex or difficult workplace situations.
We work in four ways, each designed to meet organisations and individuals where they are and provide the right level of support at the right time.
