About the Mindful Workplace
Your Fractional HR Department for Small Businesses in the Fraser Valley
We specialize in supporting small-to-midsize businesses — typically between 1 and 200 employees — who are growing, evolving, and in need of reliable, strategic HR support. Whether you're hiring your first employee, dealing with a policy issue, or trying to build a better team culture, we’re here to help you do it with confidence and clarity.
Vision
To build a future where every small business — regardless of size or structure — has access to the HR tools, systems, and support they need to create engaged, high-performing, and people-first workplaces.
Mission
At The Mindful Workplace, our mission is to provide accessible, strategic, and empathetic HR consulting to small and growing businesses.
We partner with organizations — typically between 1 and 200 employees — to deliver customized HR solutions that help you stay compliant, reduce people-related stress, and build strong, thriving teams.
Values
People First
We believe HR should never feel like a checklist. We lead with empathy and human understanding, putting people at the heart of every policy, decision, and strategy.
Clarity & Compliance
Small businesses deserve policies and systems that are clear, effective, and legally sound — without the overwhelm. We simplify the complex.
Trust & Partnership
We don’t just consult — we collaborate. We act as your trusted HR partner, embedding ourselves in your team’s success.
Practicality Over Perfection
Done is better than perfect. We help you take meaningful, strategic action without unnecessary red tape or over-complication.
Growth With Intention
Whether you're hiring your first employee or managing a growing team, we design scalable HR solutions that grow with you — intentionally, not reactively.
About Me
Hi, I’m Marziyah Hussain — HR Consultant & Founder of The Mindful Workplace
I’m passionate about making HR accessible, people-centered, and useful — especially for small businesses that are trying to do things the right way but don’t always have the in-house support.
I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) with a concentration in Human Resources, and I’m a CPHR Candidate with 4 years of experience in recruitment, policy development, and full-cycle HR. I’ve worked with businesses in healthcare, tech, customer service, trades, and beyond — and I’ve seen firsthand how strategic HR can make or break a team’s success.
Outside of work, I’m a curious creative, lifelong learner, and lover of thoughtful conversations. I believe that building great workplaces shouldn’t be reserved for large corporations — and that every small business deserves access to expert HR, without the overwhelm.
Let’s build something better — together.
