To create a future where more people experience work as meaningful, healthy and fulfilling.
About
Our story
The Workaround started with a simple idea: work shouldn't have to feel this heavy.
The practice
Work shouldn't have to feel this heavy.
At 18, our founder, D'xien, had no idea what she wanted to do after school. Through conversations with people trying to figure this out, she noticed a pattern:
Too many people were deeply unhappy at work. They were living for weekends, dreading Monday mornings, or feeling stuck in their careers. Of course, every job has parts that aren't enjoyable. But she couldn't shake the feeling that work shouldn't have to feel this heavy.
That curiosity eventually led her to Industrial and Organisational Psychology — a field dedicated to understanding people at work. Today, D'xien is a registered Industrial Psychologist (or, as she likes to call it, a Work Psychologist) because she believes that when people thrive, organisations thrive too. That belief became the foundation for The Workaround.
We partner with individuals and organisations to better understand what's getting in the way of meaningful, fulfilling work. Through honest conversations, evidence-based psychology and practical solutions, we help create better experiences of work — making work a little lighter, one workaround at a time.
