Bringing diverse elements together
to create a connected whole
what we do
HUMAN RESOURCES
We work with clients to build Human Resources that is right for them. We support Human Resources teams to create structure, tools and processes to get them off the ground and scale at the pace of the business.
We help our clients weave together the diverse responsibilities of Human Resources to make it easy for employees to come to work. And, focus on their work.
TALENT OPERATIONS
We believe top notch Talent Operations is a differentiator. All the touchpoints on the path from candidate to employee make an impression.
We support clients to build comprehensive recruiting, interviewing and hiring processes to insure hiring the right candidate in the right job at the right time.
We build on-boarding processes that capture the energy and enthusiasm of new employees to help them quickly integrate and contribute.
MANAGEMENT TRAINING
The most critical role any employee has in business is managing teams and individual contributors. Effectively communicating, setting expectations, rewarding performance, and motivating for results are the foundation of powerful leadership.
We work with our clients to develop and deliver management training that aligns with their culture and values.
EXECUTIVE COACHING
In our Executive and Leadership Coaching practice we work one on one with clients to raise self-awareness and help them achieve the effectiveness they desire in their role as a leader.

Why Woven
how it all started…
It all started on June 25, 2014 when our team took the afternoon off to catch a San Francisco Giants game for some team bonding, a beer and a hotdog. On a sunny day in the middle of the week. We were at the ballpark. How could it get any better than this?
Tim Lincecum threw a no-hitter for the Giants. It was an unlikely outcome delivered by an unconventional guy. We were giddy.
So, what does this have to do with WOVEN?
People dedicated to their craft, putting in the hard work to be the best while still having some fun and working in partnership with their team mates. We know this is where amazing results come from and this is what great Human Resources is all about - great outcomes for people and for business.
This is WOVEN. Our brand of HR supports both the business and the employees. We know the business, we know the employees, and we know the strategy. We make it easy for employees to come to work and focus on the work.
We are a group of experienced and dedicated professionals with a unique approach to Human Resources. We develop processes and practices, and implement systems and programs that make it easy for businesses and the people that make them great.
