Team member optimisation
Your people shouldn’t have to fight to find what they need to do their jobs.
Less friction. More focus.
When information is scattered, processes are manual, and systems don’t talk to each other, it’s your people who absorb the cost – in wasted time, duplicated effort, and quiet frustration. Restive helps organisations build the connective tissue between their people, their knowledge, and their processes. The result: less friction, faster decisions, and teams that can actually focus on the work that matters.
When your digital workplace works against you
Most organisations don’t have a tools problem. They have a fragmentation problem.
Documents live in six different places. New starters spend weeks navigating tribal knowledge. Field teams can’t access what they need from a phone. Workflows that should take minutes still require someone to email three people and wait.
The cost isn’t always visible in a dashboard. It shows up in staff frustration, slower onboarding, governance risk, and the creeping sense that your technology investment isn’t paying off.
That’s the problem we fix.
How we work
We design and build digital employee experiences that bring information, processes, and systems together – in a way that’s intuitive to use, easy to govern, and built to grow with your organisation.
Whether you’re running on SharePoint and Microsoft 365, another platform, or a mix of tools that’s evolved over time, we meet you where you are and help you build something that actually works.
Discovery
We start by understanding your current state: where information lives, how people actually work, what's breaking down, and what good looks like. This includes stakeholder interviews, content audits, information architecture review, and governance mapping.
Design
We design the experience your people will use - site structures, navigation, page templates, workflow logic, and integration patterns. We bring UX thinking to environments that are usually built by IT, not designers.
Build
We build it. SharePoint site creation, content migration, Power Automate workflows, Power Apps forms, system integrations. Delivered iteratively so you can see progress early and adapt.
Optimise
We don't disappear at go-live. We set you up with governance frameworks, usage analytics, and a continuous improvement rhythm so the environment stays useful, healthy, and relevant over time.
Our focus areas
Knowledge architecture and governance
Structure your information so people can find it. We redesign information architecture, define governance frameworks, and set up metadata, search, and document lifecycle settings that keep your environment from turning to chaos.
Intranet and knowledge hub design
Modern employee hubs that are actually used. Intuitive navigation, reusable component libraries, and designs built for the way your people work – whether they’re at a desk, on-site, or in the field.
Process and workflow automation
Replace manual admin with digital self-service. We build forms, approvals, service requests, onboarding flows, and compliance processes that reduce the load on IT, HR, and ops teams.
Worker and self-service portals
For organisations with distributed teams – care workers, field inspectors, property managers, retail staff – we build mobile-accessible portals that give people what they need, wherever they are.
System integration and platform enablement
Connect your intranet or knowledge hub to the systems your people already use – ERP, HR, rostering, CRM. We build the integrations that turn a standalone site into the operational backbone of your organisation.
Migration and consolidation
Moving from legacy intranets, network drives, or multiple disconnected environments into something unified and manageable. We’ve done large-scale content migrations and know how to do it without breaking what people rely on day-to-day.
Built for organisations like yours
We do our best work with organisations navigating complexity – where the scale, pace, or structure of the business has created real friction for people doing their jobs.
That includes:
Post-merger and multi-entity organisations
Three intranets, four HR systems, and no single source of truth. We help newly merged organisations build a unified digital workplace that gives everyone – regardless of which entity they came from – a consistent experience.
Organisations with distributed or field-based workforces
When your people aren’t sitting at a desk, the intranet has to come to them. We design mobile-first employee experiences for care providers, property teams, retail operations, and anyone else managing a geographically spread workforce.
Organisations with an underperforming Microsoft 365 investment
You have the licences. You’re not getting the value. We help you extract what you’ve already paid for – SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform – and build it into something your people will actually use.
Organisations drowning in manual processes
If your team is still running approvals via email and onboarding via spreadsheet, there’s a faster way. We replace the manual steps with automated workflows that are faster, more consistent, and auditable.
