Challenge Factory is a future of work company.

We believe people are not merely a company’s asset, they are
a company’s equity. To this end, we help our clients increase their
profitability by investing in their employees, tapping into today’s hidden
talent pool, and developing their workforce. We do this through research,
education and consulting.

Being part of our team means being truly valued as you do
meaningful work, learn and grow. We believe that everyone has infinite amounts
to contribute and that they simply need the right space to make it happen. The centre of our culture is being part of our
caring community, placing our people at the centre of our work. We can’t help our clients if we are not working
within a vibrant, open, and intentional workplace culture, ourselves.
