We may have killed Psychological Safety y’all and it may not return until the “new guard” takes over completely. #safety #inclusion

Let's be clear once more: this whole return to the office RTO charade is absolute insanity. #RTO

Whenever there's a major change or new initiative in a company, someone inevitably questions, What about Agile? Maybe it's not so great after all!

Visible Human Debt in every corner. The information flows that stop. The unwillingness to share, to recommend, to give ideas, respect or credit. #inclusion

Ask first. Preferably with genuine attention and empathy and while communicating care and being sensitive. #workforce

10 things you need to start lowering your HumanDebt and winning in this day of competition with other human-centred businesses. #advisor #inclusion

I’m big on retros. I’m big on any time for self-improvement, reflection and learning, but retros in particular. #advisors #tools

Used to have zero compassion for what they went through and could only think of the suffering of their employees surrounded by HumanDebt every day. #people

The truth is that our hard-fought-for flexibility is under threat at a collective level but it isn’t as pressing an issue for most of us. #WFH

Invaluable competitive advantage. The right path human-wise. It’ll supercharge your culture and bring it to unicorn level in under a year. #inclusion

When your type of diverse is utterly invisible despite it being a major contributor to success, it can feel starkly isolating. #inclusion

Now - I am someone who had long had to be a primary carer for my brother and mother for years before she passed and juggle an exec career in between.

Teams need psychological safety more than ever. Not for performance only but for survival. Let me explain. #inclusion #safety #teams

I put it to us today, that it is this lack of care and intentional work that will eventually lead to more and more work divorce aka attrition as well.#work

Inequality and how, despite years of lip service we haven't sorted the many many obstacles that women have in technology. #HumanDebt

If anyone is still out there listening and caring and is high enough to do anything about this thorny topic - un-burnout your leadership team. #culture

There’s no way we will be genuinely rid of fear before everything has been out in the open in a compassionate way and from a creative place.

If anything is to leave the lasting impression you must be longing to leave if anything is to become a true legacy of a leader people.

We have had one big win in the world of work which is the amazing news of the success of the 4 days weeks experiment that went so very well. #inclusion

More than 1 in every 3 employees wouldn’t wish their present job on their worst enemy. That’s what a recent study found. #people #inclusion

There’s no glimpse of easier times ahead so all we can do is brace ourselves and find support, solace and inspiration in each other.

The wave of layoffs in the tech industry is not shocking to analysts who have been waiting for the overly bloated big tech to slim down. #tech #people

So look around - is your organisation even mentioning cultural transformation? Are they acknowledging that everything changed?

Simply attempting to gloss over the pandemic’s effects on our mental well-being is not going to prove possible. #mentalhealth #wellbeing

The emotional support water bottle is a clear and painful symbol of our collective, monumental amounts of HumanDebt. #workforce #happiness

The fact that our people are not well and that they can not be high performing while they’re not well is not ignorable. It is an emergency #workforce

It is high time we start recognising that the human work is essential and we as organisations must both equip our people for it.

I believe that techies don’t check out or not to the same degree that everyone else does. #disengagement #workforce #employees

We have to all do the hard graft of recognising and expressing emotions and of spending intentional time on our own well-being and that of the team

Most places will even be honest enough to admit that it worked better. That productivity is in fact higher. #workforce #WFH #business

21% globally is a dismal amount of people to be “engaged”.  How can we be so nonchalant about this? It's a major crisis.

Just because he’s Elon it doesn’t make him intangibly right and on this one, he is so wrong it will cost him. #employees #workforce

The fact of the matter is that we have burned out, mental health challenged, actively disengaged and unhappy employees. #leadership

This is not a drill, this is a life that is so authentically inspiring it is literally winning battles no one thought were winnable. #leadership 

It’s outrageous they dread going into work or logging into that zoom. That they barely feel like they live but like subsist and survive. #workforce

Don't send your teams home with a laptop, a Jira and Slack account and a prayer! #teams #performance #workforce #success

You’ll emerge out of this having aced this new JD and with a whole set of new superhuman abilities. #work #future #performance

Coronavirus could usher in an era where remote and online become the new normal in the workplace. #workplace #work
