People are the pulse of your business
At Humany, we believe that when people thrive, businesses do too. Since 2016, we’ve partnered with South African SMEs to foster resilient cultures, strengthen performance, and transform the way teams work — together.
We understand humans not as resources, but as creators, collaborators, and catalysts for growth. Our mission is to shape the humanity of businesses through strategic, people-centred solutions that build trust, optimise performance, and unlock potential.
When your people are motivated, aligned, and empowered, sustainable success follows. That’s where we come in.
“What sets Humany apart is their commitment to authentic connection that supports the greater human experience. This philosophy is embodied in their tools and strategies, creating a truly connected and engaged workforce.”

About Us
Humany is built on the belief that trust and human connection are the heartbeat of every resilient business.
Founded in 2016 by Mari Redpath, a qualified attorney and industrial psychology graduate, Humany brings together deep expertise in employee relations, performance management and people strategy. After years in the corporate sector, Mari saw firsthand how authentic relationships and clear, fair processes transform not just teams — but entire businesses.
Today, Humany is more than just Mari: it’s a trusted network of expert consultants and coaches who share her commitment to honesty, empathy, and practical impact. Together, we partner with South African SMEs to strengthen cultures, resolve conflict, develop people, and align performance — so that every part of your business works in sync, like a thriving hive.
When individuals grow, businesses flourish. It really is that simple — and that powerful.
“Humany plays an intricate role in our business, managing expectations and delivering high value to our day-to-day procedures. Both higher-level managerial members and staff find trust and great value in Humany.”
