STAR Workplace
Strategic alignment for success

Is your team fully aligned with your business goals?

As a business owner, you know that your people are critical to your success.

But when engagement is low, communication is unclear, or your team is pulling in different directions, performance can stall—no matter how strong your strategy is.

Even if things seem to be going well, how do you really know your team is on the same page?

Introducing STAR Workplace - A people and performance tool that helps your business thrive.

STAR Workplace goes beyond traditional engagement surveys.

It’s a business improvement program that measures how well your people are aligned with your business goals—and how satisfied you are with current performance.

You’ll get a tailored hr plan to turn insights into action, benchmarked against 1000 Australasian businesses.

What Makes It Different?

Unlike most surveys that stop at employee satisfaction, STAR Workplace looks deeper into the key drivers of performance and culture:

  • Employee alignment with strategy

  • Commitment, loyalty, and productivity

  • Employer satisfaction with business effectiveness

  • Benchmarked data from 1000 Australasian businesses

  • A 12-month HR plan based on your business priorities

At Howardco, we believe businesses thrive when people thrive. STAR Workplace empowers leaders to unlock both—ensuring strategy and culture move forward, together.
