What we do
At Tempris, we believe that responsible AI adoption is an urgent societal and economic imperative, but we observe that firms often do not know where to start. We are here to create targeted action that grows your business while future-proofing your workforce.
Why Tempris?
Activating Research
Everyone has a view on AI’s workforce impact. Few can apply the best research to the real work happening inside your organisation - and turn it into action. We do.
Deep Domain Expertise
Our founders are leading experts in analytics & data science, reward & performance, and workforce strategy.
AI Native
We don’t bolt AI on – we’re built on it. That means faster analysis with smarter decisions driving tangible action in a fraction of the usual time.
Organisation AND People
We close the gap between strategy and execution by enabling employees - not just leaders - to drive meaningful AI adoption across the organisation.

Our Technology
Our founders collectively share 50 years' experience working on workforce challenges at the world's largest and most complex organisations, who are often challenged by fragmented and expensive workforce data initiatives that struggle to demonstrate RoI.
We have developed a revolutionary suite of AI Agents and workflows that automate the full range of workforce data operations to create clear, authoritative and comprehensive ground truth. We haven't aligned our technology with legacy organisational siloes such as recruitment, operations, or finance. Instead, we've isolated a suite of key capabilities that are found across all workforce domains and built a next-generation Agentic offering that is organisation-aligned rather than legacy-aligned.
