Why we started Air

We’ve been on this journey

With decades of experience starting and growing businesses between us we know the challenges companies face when it comes to HR and managing people. Especially on a small business budget and when there aren’t enough hours in the day!

We wanted people who worked for us to be happy, motivated, and productive. We wanted to create a fantastic company culture.

Creating a business our employees love to work in

We learned, sometimes painfully, that if people aren’t happy at work, they will take their talents to the competition. But when we invested time, effort and money into the company culture, people loved it, stayed with us, and told their friends about us. Happy people equals business success. It’s that simple.

As lovers of technology we looked around to find simple solutions for HR and company culture building that worked for us and we couldn’t find anything.  Air was born to solve this problem.

Simple, beautiful, intuitive

We make it simple to take care of HR with everything you need to manage your people at a cost you can afford.

We help you on your leadership journey, we are with you every step of the way. We’ll make it easy for you to take advantage of the best ideas and techniques for people management. Resources that are usually out of reach unless you’re a large corporate, with rafts of highly paid consultants!

Tackling Britain’s epidemic of bad management

Britain today faces an epidemic of bad management and unhappy workers. Only 30% of people are happy at work. That means 70% of people are not working as hard as they could be.

We strongly believe that it should be an employee’s right to have a great experience at work. They spend huge amounts of time there, and should not have to suffer the soul destroying experience of bad workplaces.

Air democratises the best of HR – for all companies

Luckily, technology today brings incredible power to the hands of each and every business owner and entrepreneur. You can create the workplace culture you’ve dreamed of, even if you’re not Google and aren’t in California. HR doesn’t have to be scary or tedious. Be compliant, up to date and organized – the simple way. And reap the rewards of happy, productive people in a business you can be proud of.
