An Imaginashun Group Company
About Us
Where people grow, businesses flourish.
The name says it: people are the roots.
The name Humanitree reflects our belief that people are the roots of every thriving organisation. Just as a tree grows stronger with deep roots and the right environment, businesses flourish when their people operations are nurtured with care, expertise and intention.
Humanitree is a specialised payroll-management and workforce-services company, and a proud member of the Imaginashun Group. Founded in Johannesburg and with footprints across South Africa, we blend human-centred design thinking with best-in-class operations and technology to deliver error-free payroll, compliance certainty and agile talent solutions.
Our mission
To be South Africa’s most trusted partner for end-to-end people management, helping corporates reduce risk, control costs and build future-ready workforces.
How we work
Diagnose with data. Design with the people who do the work. Deliver in sprints you can see and measure.
