What We Do
Build a clear, practical People Plan that connects directly to your commercial goals.
We’ll help you define structure, map progression, reduce turnover, and scale sustainably.
We review your HR, LMS, comms and workforce tools to find what’s working and what’s adding noise.
Then we recommend a simpler, smarter stack that saves time, boosts engagement and supports your strategy.
Using EQ-i and C-Me profiling, we help founders and teams communicate better, collaborate faster and perform stronger.
Why Viva?
Founded by Tom Vivace, a former Head of Talent & Development at Turtle Bay Restaurants, Viva People blends hands-on hospitality experience with sharp people strategy and tech-savvy insight.
We’ve helped founder-led brands scale from 16 to 50+ sites, launch learning academies, embed new tech stacks and transform the way their people grow.
“We make the people side of your business work, so your business can grow.”
How we Work
Audit – Understand your people structure, systems and gaps.
Strategy – Build a plan that links people and performance.
Implementation – Make it real, with hands-on support.
Review – Track results, refine and grow.
‘Viva’ means ‘alive’ or ‘long live’ – a word that reflects our belief that people strategy should be dynamic, energising, and built to last. We help organisations bring their people plans to life with clarity, structure, and purpose.
Our Customers
Before our investment round, having Viva People in our corner made a real difference. They asked the right questions, challenged our thinking, and helped us focus on what really mattered as we prepared to scale.

Tom has been great to work with. I’ve really appreciated his ability to combine a real understanding of behavioural science, business strategy and technology to create innovate data-led solutions to complex problems.
