It all started with a question: What if Mondays felt different?

Hello Monday was founded on a simple belief: coming to work should be something people look forward to, not dread. With the right support, workplaces can thrive through their people—not despite them.

Our founder, Will Allan, spent several years in corporate HR, where he saw first-hand how complex, confusing, and often overlooked the people side of business can be—especially for small to medium-sized organisations. Too often, HR was only addressed when problems became urgent.

Recognising the need for accessible, practical, and tailored HR support for smaller businesses, Will established Hello Monday in Auckland on 13 October 2011. The goal was clear: to offer smart, easy to access, and down-to-earth HR services designed specifically for organisations with little or no internal HR capability.

Today, Hello Monday partners with business owners and leaders across industries to implement the right HR systems, processes, and support to mitigate risk and build strong, high-performing workplaces. We help organisations spend less time on HR process and more time focusing on their people and growth.

We are not a “template” HR service. We are problem-solvers by nature—people who listen, care, and find solutions that are customised, practical, and fit for purpose. We believe that when businesses genuinely look after their people, everything else follows.

Our mission is simple: To make HR easy… and by doing so, to enable businesses and organisations to achieve better outcomes through their people.

And yes — we truly believe Mondays can feel amazing!
