Accelerate your team's growth today!
People Work started with a simple idea: working with people should be about empowerment, not just checking off boxes. Born from our own experiences navigating career transitions and the tech industry, we understand the challenges people face today.
Our journey began in 1997 when we, Annie and Michael, met in college. Our diverse career paths after college—Michael in tech and Annie transitioning from casting to tech after raising our children—gave us unique insights into career management. These experiences formed the foundation of People Work.
Built from firsthand tech leadership experience
Bridging the gap between tech expertise and people management
Transforming how tech teams grow and perform
Michael's time in tech leadership and Annie's journey of reentering the workforce, gave us many strategies throughout the years that we've shared with others, but ultimately, it highlighted the need for better tools to help folks be better leaders.
We've seen firsthand what strategies succeed and which fall short. With People Work, we're building more than just a tool; we're creating a platform that embodies the lessons we've learned over decades in the workforce. We're reimagining how to manage performance and lead engineering teams, providing solutions that foster autonomy, vulnerability, and transparency.
Apply proven leadership strategies
Streamline engineering team management
Build a culture of continuous feedback
We want you to have more agency in your position in order to provide the most value to your team and to your own career. When you started working in tech, you had many tools and IDEs at your disposal. Then you became a manager, and suddenly the landscape of tooling was abysmal. What if you had an IDE for managing your team, to help you with 1:1s, reviews, feedback, and other performance related things? People Work is here to help managers with the people side of their job.
Powerful tools for engineering managers
Optimize 1:1s and performance reviews
Boost your impact as a tech leader
