Organisation profile
Empirisys is a recently formed tech start-up (www.empirisys.io). We believe that great organisations are underpinned by great cultures and great leaders. We help our clients understand and improve culture and leadership effectiveness through creating insight from difficult to access data and information to help some of the world’s largest, most technically complex organisations be safer, more environmentally sustainable, and more productive.
We are committed to growing a business founded on trust, integrity, and teamwork. We embrace diversity and wish to be as inclusive as possible so as to attract the very best talent to our company. Above all, we want to work with people who share our passion for our core values of learning, creativity, and collaboration every day.
We are a virtual business by design. We work remotely, but we meet every day using Teams; we use collaborative software to deliver our projects in an Agile manner, and we meet face to face (COVID restrictions allowing) to brainstorm problems, build our team spirit, and have fun.

Desirable
