Welcome
You don’t always realise that you could do with a little support, until you need it, right?
What started as a start-up, small business or enterprise grew faster *so much faster* than you anticipated, and it quickly became apparent that the practical skills, the soft skills and change management skills (that let’s be honest, aren’t your forte) are required.
So, what do you do when you genuinely value your people and want to see continued growth in your company, your people, and yourself as leader? Well, first you probably notice a few wheels falling off, and then you get on to Google for a little help.

Human-centred Online Business Manager
for small business, start-ups, and not-for-profits.
Being at the helm of a growing organisation is exciting ~ but it also brings new challenges.
As a founder, you started with a vision for your organisation but somehow you shifted from being a doer to a leader. Or you may be working at an executive level in a dynamic environment, where your leadership and organisational skills are more important than ever before. Regardless of your journey, something is telling you that a shift is required to be the leader that you want to be. That you need to be.
You understand the worth of the people within the organisation but need support to make them feel valued and to create a positive culture in a time of growth and change. There’s an opportunity to turn good into great. And that’s why you’re here.
You need the right help to lay the foundations, set up the processes and plant the seeds for growth – the kind of help that a human-centric online business manager can provide plus the practical and strategic executive support that you need.
How we help.
Get an online business manager on your team who can support you with strategic planning, workforce planning, business set and optimisation. Get systems, processes, and workflows in place that save you time and money.
The support you receive doesn’t stop at the consulting phase. On-demand and customised training helps ensure success through training, upskilling, and supporting your team to develop their corporate or admin skills.
Benefit from human-centred culture consulting. Our unique consultative and qualitative approach gets to the heart of your organisation. We’ll work with you to create lasting positive change using proven strategies. From employee engagement to team building, we’ll support you throughout the change management process.
We specialise in working with leaders that value their people and the power of processes to create positive growth and transformation in their organisation.
When you work with us, you’ll find a partner who will collaborate with you to make positive and lasting change. We’ve been around long enough to know that a survey or checklist isn’t the answer to being a fulfilled and effective leader or creating a skilled and happy team.
We’re not just another traditional online business manager that provides surface-level suggestions and then leaves you to figure out the rest. We’ll work alongside you to identify areas of improvement and then implement the training and initiatives required to see your desired outcomes come to fruition.
What sets us apart as an online business manager is our ability to use proven systems and strategies that bridge the gap between your current state and your desired future but always with people front of mind. As holistic thinkers with a deep interest in psychology, anthropology, and workplace equity, we use a unique mix of science and sociology to create forward-thinking solutions that are grounded in evidence-based practice.
Led by Sarah, our director and lead online business manager with over 20 years of experience in secretariat, office management, executive assistance and change management, Office81 offers a unique approach that may be unlike anything you’ve seen in the online business management space before.

There’s no one size fits approach, but here’s how things usually go.
-
Consult
We’ll meet to discuss your individual needs, hopes, ideas and ideas for the organisation or the areas in which you’d like support as a leader. This includes getting to know you, your business and, if you have one, members of your leadership team.
-
Connect
When working with your people, we’ll take a qualitative approach that puts them at ease and collects quality insights. We’ll comprehensively assess and report on opportunities and identify gaps and areas for improvement. This will help us to assist you in making good and informed decisions and changes within the organisation.
-
Coordinate
Having the right information in your hands is great, but it’s what you do with it that makes it powerful. We’ll help you go that one step further to facilitate and coordinate team building, training or whatever is needed to help you complete the change management process fully.
