The company's offerings are organized around six core services: diagnostics and barometers, strategic advisory, training and awareness, crisis management and investigations, workplace adjustment and risk prevention, and individual support. The product portfolio combines traditional consulting with a growing suite of proprietary digital tools, including virtual reality sensitization experiences on harassment, sexism, and equality; serious games (Wheel Well, Spinning Challenge, Sexisme Mission Anti-Relou); an escape game on burn-out (Vigie, co-developed with Collock); an interactive disability-awareness kiosk; and video content libraries (La Minute Einstein, Les Minutes Para).

Revenue is generated through professional services (consulting, training) and digital product licensing or subscriptions, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. The client base is enterprise- and government-focused, with named references including EDF, SNCF, RATP, LVMH, Groupe BPCE, Allianz, Lidl, France TV, Croix Rouge, Coop Atlantique, and the Ministère de la Justice. Distribution is primarily direct field sales, augmented by content marketing, webinars, social media, and the annual Le Lab d'Ariane client event.
