Employee Engagement Reimagined
The Human Relations Matrix 2.0 is your framework for improving workplace productivity. Why? It unites strategy with tactics, helps you discover the pieces you are missing, and gets everyone on the same page—fast! This matrix is unlike any planning tool you’ve ever used before, and it is everything you’ve been trying to get to but can’t seem to make work. From employee engagement and experience to organizational functioning, culture, and communications, the Human Relations Matrix 2.0 can help your company identify what is required to make your company more productive and a great place to work.
Employee Engagement & Organizational Functioning Consulting Services
At Indigo Path Collective, we help organizations create healthy, high-performing workplaces by aligning the human side of business with strategy.
Grounded in The Human Relations Matrix 2.0, our services connect people, purpose, and performance. Whether you’re rethinking your culture or rebuilding after change, we help you translate strategy into engagement that lasts.
Our Core Organizational Functioning Focus Areas
Human Relations & People Strategy
Every organization’s results depend on the quality of its relationships. We help you build the systems, programs, and communication structures that strengthen trust, belonging, and shared purpose across teams.
Manager Effectiveness
Managers shape culture daily. We design and deliver workshops, coaching, and tools that help managers communicate clearly, support employees authentically, and lead with accountability and empathy.
Employer Brand & Employee Experience
Your culture speaks through every interaction — from recruitment to recognition. We partner with you to clarify your employer brand, design values-based communication campaigns, and align your employee experience to your company’s purpose.
Strategic Alignment
We help your leaders translate business strategy into employee productivity. From engagement design to values and culture audits, we ensure everyone understands how their work contributes to organizational goals.
Collaboration
Effective collaboration doesn’t happen by chance — it’s designed. We help you build the systems, processes, and training needed for cross-functional teamwork that fuels innovation and reduces silos.

Organizational Functioning Assessment & Diagnostic
This assessment is grounded in human relations science, behavioral health, and the trauma-informed principles embedded within the Human Relations Matrix 2.0.
Most organizations rely on engagement surveys, yet those surveys rarely explain why people are disengaged or inconsistent, or what systems and relationships need to change to improve performance.
Grounded in the Human Relations Matrix 2.0, the Organizational Functioning Assessment & Diagnostic goes beyond sentiment and looks at how your organization is actually operating day-to-day.
This mixed-methods assessment evaluates four domains that shape both culture and productivity:
Strategic Alignment
Manager Effectiveness
Collaboration
Employer Brand
It also includes a trauma-informed functioning index that highlights where trust, safety, communication, and relational clarity may be reinforcing or limiting performance.
Organizations receive a comprehensive diagnostic report, a Human Relations Matrix 2.0 heat map, and a practical 12 to 18-month roadmap that helps leaders prioritize where to focus next.
This is not an engagement survey.
It is a clear, industry non-specific, behavioral health-informed picture of how your workplace is functioning and what you can do to strengthen it. Most organizations begin their engagement with us through this diagnostic.
Beta Opportunity Available
We are currently offering early access to the Organizational Functioning Assessment and Diagnostic to a small number of organizations under 1,000 employees as we finalize the methodology for broader release.
If your organization is preparing for change or seeking a clearer picture of how work gets done, this is the ideal place to begin.

Your people are your greatest advantage. When they’re aligned, supported, and connected, performance follows.
How We Partner with you
Advisory Consulting
Bring us in to assess your current culture, engagement strategy, or change management readiness. We’ll provide a practical plan using the Human Relations Matrix framework and help you set priorities for measurable improvement. Most advisory engagements begin with our Organizational Functioning Assessment & Diagnostic to give leaders a clear picture of what needs to change and why.
Retainer Partnership
Ideal for fast-moving companies navigating ongoing change. We act as an extension of your leadership or HR function, providing monthly strategy sessions, content development, and change advisory support to keep progress steady.
Project-Based Collaboration
When you already know what needs to change, we can manage the design and delivery. From employee engagement programs to communication campaigns or training design, we work side-by-side with your team to bring your strategy to life.
Fractional Leadership
For organizations that need consistent guidance but not a full-time executive, Indigo Path Collective can provide fractional leadership in employee experience, organizational development, or wellness strategy — embedding our expertise within your culture and helping your team grow in real time.
No matter how you engage us,
You’ll have a partner focused on the same goal,
creating healthy, human workplaces
where people perform at their best.
