About Us
Our Story
Engaged Pursuit was created to help individuals, leaders and organizations in tech navigate the big and small issues that come with most professional experiences. Unaddressed, these issues often lead to dissatisfaction, frustration and disappointment – and a serious engagement crisis for tech companies.
As a people leader and hiring manager, Tom Perry saw the crisis firsthand – and he set out to solve it. Tom knew that helping individuals and teams navigate the tricky stuff that comes with a professional career would have a huge impact on the employee engagement crisis currently hampering organizations across the globe. By providing strategies to navigate the big things and the everyday ones, Engaged Pursuit helps individuals and teams alike succeed long-term.

Our Guiding Principles
1. The high level of employee disengagement is a crisis for business, especially across the tech sector. The majority of professionals aren’t giving 100%, and in turn, companies can’t count on teams, they risk revenue and they can’t scale.
2. People crave help in everyday professional experiences. From understanding whether they're in the right role, to maintaining a positive relationship with a manager, to helping solve partner conflict, there’s no one out there addressing the events that easily tip employees into disengagement.
3. Career navigation is hard. It’s not a once- or twice-a-year thing. It takes constant, hard work and requires a ton of strategy and execution – and people to help along the way!
4. There's unique power within each professional. It’s determining that power, unleashing it and maximizing it that’s so critical. We often lose that power when things go south, especially in huge tech organizations. No more!
5. Your Professional Story gives you the framework for telling others about all that you offer and what makes you stand out. It’s the solution to navigating the sometimes crazy professional experience. And for organizations, the Professional Story is key to understanding what makes your employees tick.
