As our first year came to a close, we have been reflecting on what we have learned along the way. It seems like there is a clear need for embedded, fractional, Chief People Officers. Check out our blog with our fuller reflections, and then we would love to hear what you are seeing in the field. #coLeagueAnniversary #HRLeadership #fractionalCPOs #OneYearStrong

Leading inclusively takes more than good intentions. It takes insight, skill, and a healthy dose of grit. See what we’re doing to help with #1 and #2. The grit is on you. 🤷🏽♀️ #inclusiveleadership #culture #employeeexperience #thewaymakerschangegroup #waymakerwednesday

On this Friday, let's reflect on the importance of supporting our people. It's not just about paying them what they're worth, but also about helping them push their brand and giving them the grace they need as they grow. True leadership and friendship means investing in the success and well-being of those around us. It's about recognizing their talents, nurturing their potential, and providing the support they need to thrive. So, let's commit to being champions for our people, lifting them up, and celebrating their achievements. Together, we can create a culture of support and empowerment that fuels success for all. #SupportYourPeople #AYLSpeaks #Empowerment

The idea of “bringing your whole self to work” has revolutionised workplaces. It’s opened pathways for development that may have previously been closed to people with protected characteristics. And it’s encouraged people to celebrate who they are, rather than having to come to terms with the idea of progressing their careers in spite of it.   Yet, for all the good the concept has clearly done, are there still parts of our “whole selves” we’d rather leave at home? We asked Katy Barnes, Director of Reporting and Analytics, who offers some of her typically well-considered nuance, below. 👇   #LifeAtSage #SageCareers #Leadership #TechLeadership #WorkplaceCuture

Generation Z is reshaping the workforce landscape, demanding flexibility and fair compensation. Adapting to meet their needs is crucial to retaining dynamic young talent. Thank you, Holly Tate, for shedding light on this important issue! #Leadership #GenZ #WorkforceShift

Every generation in the workplace appreciates employee thank you gifts, and Generation Z is no exception. In fact, showing appreciation is even more crucial to engaging these young people. Several characteristics are emerging in the generation born after 1997: they have high expectations, they’re practical, and they’re in a position to influence the workplace for years.

I loved being asked to share my career story with the team at Sage. One thing they honed in on from the story was my perspective on bringing your 'whole self' to work. There's a real mixed bag of viewpoints on this topic... In my early career I got feedback to be less 'me'. As an ambitious but insecure 20-something with a deep reverence for senior people at my organisation, I spent lots of time carefully listening to this feedback and trying to action it. That led to me developing inauthentic and less effective traits, while feeling exhausted and miserable. I'm a work in progress, but I think I have a much better balance now. I am open about who I am as I am a strong believer in 'you can't be what you can't see' and I love working for an organisation like Sage where I can be myself. I am also open about my unique strengths and where I can add value, and equally about where my development needs or limitations exist. But the truth is, I am a different version of me with my friends and family. For example, I am highly organised at work. At home, I beg friends and family to organise me, to tell me where to be and when, so I don't need to flex that bit of my brain 24/7 and I get some rest from it! I have met some awesome friends at work over the years, and know that having a work bestie is proven to make you more resilient and more productive. I just don't bring the chat we have over coffee in to our senior leadership meetings.

What a privilege to have time with Garry Ridge to discuss the importance of company culture, his servant leadership philosophy, and what attendees can expect at the upcoming Culture Forum event (message me for details)!

"...we must not overlook the ongoing need to connect on both human and business levels to tackle structural inequalities and foster a sense of belonging." The emphasis on improving core management processes as a means to address inequity is a noteworthy strategy. Embedding DEI into key business functions rather than treating it as a separate entity is a powerful way to drive sustainable change. Auger-Domínguez's focus on equipping managers with the "beautiful basics of management" highlights the role of leadership in fostering a culture of inclusivity. #DEI #DiversityandInclusion #HR
