Mission & Vision
At Joyntly, we help people work better together in teams and organizations. Our purpose is to amplify the impact of the organizations we work with by maximizing the potential of their most valuable resource: people. Our vision is to demonstrate the greatest positive impact in the human resource services industry with our science-based, digital solutions.
Our Story
Joyntly co-founders, Kate and Sam have worked together since 2008, where they met while pursuing their PhDs in Organizational Science. As experts in leadership development and behavioral science, they grew disappointed in the corporate learning industry, which often lacked evidence of behavior change or results. In 2022, they founded Joyntly with the aim of setting a new industry standard for measurable change and impact, by leveraging organizational science and AI.
