Co-Founder Emily Firth talks to Rudi Bauer of WeAreDevelopers about 'high agency' culture. Is it a way to supercharge productivity or a recipe for spinning your wheels without making an impact? Have a listen and tell us what you think!

Resilience is a hot topic on every leader's lips right now. But how do you design for it rather than just demand it from your talent? That was the subject of Co-Founder Rhiannon Stroud's masterclass workshop a couple of weeks ago at Equals in association with the D2 collective. Rhiannon took us through the TTW tried and tested model for designing for organisational resilience through rituals, systems, processes and training vs just expecting colleagues to keep pushing through adversity. We'll be sharing clips and insights from the session over the course of the week in the run up to releasing our whitepaper on the topic. This is invaluable insight for any leader in the people and culture space and we can't wait to help more organisations design for resilience. To get early access to the whitepaper, sign up on our website (link in comments) or DM us to talk about us bringing this workshop to your organisation. #HR #culture #workshop #consultant #resilience With Emily Firth

As International Women’s Day rolls around, we always ask ourselves: what’s the right thing to say? Because here’s the truth. We’re a female-founded business. We believe in empowered women and empowering women. That’s not a campaign or a moment. It’s the work we do every day. And yet, every year, we hit the same question: does marking a single day actually move the needle? We’ve all seen the brands that post a #IWD message in the morning and ignore pay gaps, burnout, and bias by the afternoon. So how do we make sure the conversation is meaningful and not just a marketing moment? That’s what we’ve been unpacking this week. If you’ve been following our posts, we hope they’ve sparked some thoughts. Now, watch the full conversation with Rhiannon Stroud and Emily Firth over on YouTube, where we dig into what IWD really means, the impact it has (or doesn’t), and how we make these conversations count all year round.

Who is at HR Tech Europe tomorrow in Amsterdam? Rhiannon Stroud and I will be there with our friends at Workfully and would love to say hi. What talk or session is top of your list? Can't wait to share ideas and explore new tech.

Organisations say they want high-agency individuals. People who solve, ship, and push forward without waiting for permission. But do they really? True high agency often leads people to start their own businesses rather than stay within strict structures. Because in most companies, power still sits at the top.  Decisions are slow.  Risks (and rewards) aren’t evenly shared. And the more high-agency employees push, the more they hit resistance. Maybe the issue isn’t a lack of high-agency talent. It’s that most workplaces aren’t built to let them thrive. Our co-founders Rhiannon Stroud and Emily Firth had a lively debate about this, can businesses truly embrace high agency, or will it always be a threat to traditional leadership? Let us know what you think in the comments.

We are proud to be speaking at and sponsoring this amazing event. See you there?
