Indigenous-Led Workplace Investigations & Labour Relations Consulting
Independent, culturally grounded workplace investigations and labour relations consulting across Manitoba.
Request ConsultationCircle Path Workplace Consulting is an Indigenous‑led consulting practice founded and operated by partners who are both women of First Nation and Red River Métis descent. With over 20 years of combined experience in labour relations and human resources, the partners have supported organizations across large unionized environments and non‑union workplaces in multiple sectors including First Nation communities, public sector organizations, private employers, and government agencies both on‑reserve and off‑reserve. Our work is guided by Indigenous values and the Seven Sacred Teachings — respect, honesty, humility, courage, wisdom, love, and truth. These teachings shape how we approach workplace challenges, emphasizing fairness, strong relationships, and working together as a community to create respectful and healthy workplaces.
