Our Services

Great company culture doesn’t happen by accident. Applestone Consulting is here to support you as you build your team, at whatever stage your company is in. We'll identify the specific needs of your team and tailor our programs for maximum impact and engagement.

People Operations Infrastructure Development

Typically for: companies who have raised funding and need to hire a larger volume of employees than they've done before.

  • First we work with you to make sure you have a well-defined company culture and set of values. 
  • Then we develop and implement People Operations Infrastructure to reinforce that culture and those values. 
  • Once new systems and processes are in place, we train your team to use them.

We can also audit existing infrastructure for hiring, onboarding, on-going employee success, and even things like payroll, benefits, and employee materials and make sure to fill any gaps you have.

Culture Exploration and Strengthening

Typically for: larger companies who have grown quickly and would like to make sure their culture is strong before they scale further. 

We identify the specific needs of your team and tailor what we do, which often includes:

  • Listening tours across teams and levels to help the leadership better understand employee engagement, alignment with company values, and any areas of friction that should be addressed.
  • Custom designed workshops, off-sites, and other experiences that can improve team dynamics and function.
  • Coaching of the leadership team to improve cohesion.

We carefully walk the line to build trust, make sure people feel heard, and synthesize our findings into recommendations that will benefit both the company and its employees.

Operational and Executive Strategic Projects

Often there are things that you need and don’t have time to do yourself. Sometimes companies need a little executive horsepower to take on a side project or something that has been put on the back burner.

We love taking on strategic projects like:

  • Fundraising approach and pitch narrative
  • Product marketing messaging and planning
  • Brand identity and visual design
  • 5-year strategic operations planning
  • M&A evaluation
  • Basic budget building and financial planning 

Strengthen your culture as you scale.
