Disrupting Norms, Challenging Tradition, and Building a Purposeful Character.​

Embrace Your Purposeful Character and Redefine Success

Welcome to Exeden, where HR is not just about people consultancy—it's a rebellion against industry norms, dated practices and underleveraged performance.  Founded in September 2022 by Russell Kronenburg and Brent Dankesreither, Exeden is on a mission to revolutionise how corporations approach work and how their employees are seen as strategic performance enhancers.

In a rapidly changing world, traditional employee engagement models and many HR practices no longer meet the evolving needs of businesses. Exeden breaks free from legacy strategies that merely focus on improving the working environment and employee experience. Instead, we equip corporations to build high-performing people practices, realise commercial benefits, and create ground-breaking, purpose-first workplaces that instil a sense of meaning in every employee.

The Power of the True Purpose with Exeden’s Ground-Breaking Purposeful Character Index 

Exeden is here to disrupt the HR landscape with our purpose-driven approach. Our ground-breaking Purposeful Character Index (PCI) is an evidence-based diagnostic tool that aligns HR strategy and purpose-led initiatives with measurable financial outcomes. By leveraging the PCI, companies can elevate their purposeful performance, boost employee motivation, and achieve remarkable results. With stock returns 8% higher and a 4% increase in ROA compared to peers, companies using the PCI outperform competitors on multiple fronts. They experience financial outperformance in profit and ROE, all while growing 10% faster. Join us in shaping a future where purpose takes centre stage. Let's ignite the change together.

Our Market Leading Member-Led Talent Alliance

Our talent solution, Silver Medallist is an innovative, member-led talent alliance that bridges the gap between exceptional candidates and pioneering companies. We focus on "Silver Medallist" candidates–high achievers who narrowly missed out on a role but are packed with potential. By sharing these brilliant minds among forward-thinking industry leaders, we drastically reduce the time-to-hire and recruitment costs while elevating the calibre of candidates. By joining the Silver Medallist talent alliance, you're not just hiring talent; you're leading a movement for efficient, cost-effective, and socially responsible talent acquisition. Enjoy significant cost savings, faster time to hire, elevated employer brand, and purpose-driven impact.
