People are our secret sauce!
From day one Seagrass has attracted and retained people well above any benchmark, because they feel appreciated at a deeply personal level and can freely contribute to the health and growth of the business. Everyone is encouraged to be their authentic self, to work together with a strong sense of optimism and a belief in a shared outcome.
The ‘people first’ culture is performance oriented, drawing out personal strengths, encouraging individual and collective growth, all woven together with a sense of good humour and inclusiveness. We enjoy celebrating the wins and rally around to tackle the challenges. Trust in the purpose and the people in equal proportions is the success recipe. You can’t have one without the other!

Get a peek into the environment and team focus that we have at Seagrass BHG with our ‘Seagrass People’ account feed.
A leader and a mentor...Our Back of House Operations Coach, Louis Kwete, believes that growing never stops💚 Recently, Louis completed the Certificate IV in Leadership Management.
We asked Louis, “What was your biggest takeaway?”
Louis responded, “The most significant takeaway for me was the importance of leading with empathy. The training reinforced that effective leadership isn’t just about giving directions; it’s about understanding and connecting with your team on a human level. By actively listening and considering different perspectives, I’ve been able to create a more supportive environment where everyone feels valued and motivated. This shift in focus has been a powerful tool for building trust and collaboration within the team.”
Louis, you’re an inspiration! 🙌🏻
