“What impressed me when I was considering joining Chick-fil-A, Inc. was the many ways the company shows care. The Chick-fil-A Leader Academy is doing so much to support young people and their education. The company went above and beyond to support team members during COVID. All of this confirmed for me that Chick-fil-A was someplace I wanted to be. Then when I joined, I realized that the idea of care is also carefully and intentionally woven throughout the company. I had been working in academia, where a person can work for weeks in their office without anyone knocking on the door. But at Chick-fil-A, the CEO invited me and other employees over for dinner at his home. Colleagues here check in on me. When I couldn’t make it in-person to a meeting a few months ago, I joined via video. When it was time for the lunch break, my doorbell rang, and my colleagues had sent a meal to my home. Who does that? Those things, simple things, show me that the people I work with are really thinking about me. And it’s not just them. The senior leaders here treat us as equals. When I was new, I accidentally walked into an executive lounge, thinking the food that was there for an event was intended for everyone. Afterward, my colleagues asked me where I’d been, and they explained. I couldn’t believe it. No one told me I wasn’t supposed to be there. No one made me feel less-than. They just chatted with me and welcomed me in.” — Franklin Gbologah, PhD, Enterprise Data & Analytics Team #LifeatChickfilAInc #DataScience #CareAtWork

"Another Xmas event where I don't know anyone" "I'll just ignore the email" "It's so cold and rainy outside..." We all thought of these excuses before. In truth, networking can feel a bit mechanical, slightly fake. If we're doing it right, we won't know most of the people attending the event, so it should feel all of the above to begin with. As time goes by and we actively show interest in someone - beyond the 'how are you/what do you do' initial chit chat - we might find ourselves engaging in interesting conversations. We might learn about one's secret desire to move out of London and live off the land, or hear about how another one is about to set off to New Zealand on a heartily anticipated trip previously delayed due to the pandemic, or even become the recipient of one's venting (and laughs) about raising twins and all the challenges coming with it. Point here being: these festive events, even though anchored in professional relationships, do bring us together to also realise we are more than our work. Recruitment, especially in an awkward market, can be tough, ruthless and exhausting - for both recruiters and candidates. It's good to be able to leave that to the side sometimes. So here is to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us yesterday at a masterly well-organised (thank you Julia Gosling and Georgia Smith) Xmas drinks, showing their authentic selves throughout the evening. I hope you've enjoyed meeting the fabulous Freshminds team and brilliant fellow consultants, all whilst sipping some fizz and nibbling tasty bites. I know I did! Now I'm admittedly guilty of the 'what do you do/what have you worked on lately' question and, shameless, I genuinely love to hear the answers; I like to think this manifests how I am on the right job. And that is probably why I am pulling some peculiar faces in the photos - I just do this: get so involved in the conversation that my mind forgets someone else is looking at it To many more events where we truly connect! Tunde, Caspar, Tim, Oliver, Nishitha, Paula, Hakeem, Alexander, Kapil, Sophie, Antonia, Thom, Jack, Sarah, Adam, James And if you're an independent consultant looking for your next role, check out our current projects: https://lnkd.in/eJnddq78
🗨️ Last night, the atmosphere at Freshminds' 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 Winter drinks event was nothing short of electric! We were thrilled to host some of our brilliant Minds from across our impressive network. From engaging conversations to delicious food, the night was a celebration of collaboration and shared success. A heartfelt thank you to each person who joined us. Our 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 team is on a mission to provide businesses with exceptional talent, offering the extra firepower they need for successful transformation and change programs.

#GoodFlippinHuman Meet Namita More, our stellar Trainer Associate at Good Flippin’ Burgers BKC outlet, who transformed uncertainty into triumph! "When I first joined Good Flippin’ Burgers, the bustling pace of the food industry felt like a world away from anything I'd known, super overwhelming," she shares with a smile. "I was nervous, wondering if was ever a fit. But here I am, two years later, not just fitting in but thriving—all thanks to my team." Namita's journey at Good Flippin’ Burgers is a vibrant tale of growth, spiced up with her favorite menu pick—the Cluckinator! "Every time I prepare a Cluckinator, it reminds me of my own journey here. It's more than just a burger, it's a recipe of what we're all about at Good Flippin’ Burgers—joy and community." Behind her success is the constant encouragement from her mother, her role model. "My mom always believed in me, even when I doubted myself. Her support has been my backbone, allowing me to dream big—like becoming a manager one day!" Outside the hustle, Namita finds joy in travelling and cooking. "Exploring new places and flavors, that's what excites me. It's all about discovering and adding new chapters to my story," she says. Namita's advice to newcomers? "Keep a clear line of communication with your team and managers. Transparency is key! And remember, every challenge is a stepping stone to your success."

Picture this: A typical day at Dogfood HQ, where innovation is our currency and compassion is our compass. 🌍💡 As I strolled through the digital corridors of creativity, I stumbled upon a distressed, hungry skunk just outside our office door. 🦨🍲 Now, most CEOs might've just called animal control and gone back to their daily grind. But not us at Dogfood Interactive – we thrive on challenges, even when they come with a side of skunky scent! 🌟💪 With a team huddle that rivaled our best project meetings, we devised a plan to safely feed our little striped friend without disrupting the natural balance of our ecosystem. 🌿🍽️ The lesson here? Business ethics isn't just about what happens in the boardroom; it's about the impact we make on the world around us. 💼🌐 At Dogfood, we believe that success is not only measured in lines of code but also in the positive influence we have on our environment – whether it's digital or inhabited by hungry skunks! 🌍🌟 So, the next time you face a dilemma, think beyond profit margins and deadlines. Consider the skunks of the world, and let your business decisions resonate with compassion and responsibility. 🌈🌟 Let's build a world where success isn't just about climbing the corporate ladder but about leaving a positive paw print on the planet! 🐾💚 #EthicalTech #CompassionateLeadership #DogfoodInteractiveSoftware #SkunkSaga #BusinessWithHeart 🚀💻✨

How do you decide who gets the last McNugget? 👀 Ever since Chicken McNuggets launched 40 years ago, one question has arisen: who gets the last nugget? Experts and McDonald’s fans alike have taken to social media to show off their mathematical skills using the “Chicken McNuggets Theorem”, coming to the conclusion that it’s impossible to order certain numbers of McNuggets… until now. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Chicken McNugget, for a limited time McDonald’s Switzerland is offering singular Chicken McNuggets to their customers starting December 5th! That’s right, the “Chicken Mcnuggets Theorem” is no more (or at least for a short while). Created in collaboration with TBWA\ Switzerland AG, ‘The Chicken McNuggets of Love’ establishes a world where everyone gets the last nugget, because “sharing is a part of our food culture”.

The Importance & Magic of Listening to EVERY single Employee in our Companies 💡🙌🏼 Yesterday I watched "Flaming Hot" and WOW, what an incredible story that hits home on so many levels! 🎬🍿🔥 To be honest, I’m not a TV person and neither a Flamin Hot snack fan😝 however, I personally enjoy ”based on a true story movies” and documentaries. This movie reminded me of something crucial we often overlook in the corporate world – The Importance of Listening to EVERY single Employee in our Companies 💡 Richard Montañez's journey from janitor to a Snack Industry Icon highlights how one person's perspective can spark innovation and drive success. Imagine if the CEO of Frito-Lay hadn't taken his time to listen to Richard’s idea for Flamin' Hot Cheetos! 🧀🔥 It's a reminder that innovation isn't confined to a specific role or title. Every team member has unique insights that, when heard and valued, can lead to groundbreaking ideas. 🚀 Let's create an environment where everyone's voice matters, where the janitors, the interns, and the executives all have a seat at the table. 🤝 Because you never know where the next game-changing idea will come from! Have you ever had a moment when an unexpected source brought forward a brilliant idea? Share your thoughts! 🗣️👇 #EmployeeVoiceMatters #Innovation #ListenAndLearn #TeamworkSuccess Flamin' Hot

The mixed-discipline magic happens here!! As Outmin sells outcomes / deliverables traditionally executed by an in-house finance team supported by accounting practices (all while using a dizzying array of SaaS products!), it is critical we hold days like this to facilitate shared learning across #datascience, #accounting delivery, #product, #customerssuccess and #engineering (in addition - we all get on very well and have a lot of fun too!!) #accountants #datascience #machinelearning #ai
We're still feeling the buzz from last Friday's Company Day! ✨ From #brainstorming sessions to delicious food & drinks and the return of Laura's iconic #data quiz, we had it all. A day filled with #bonding, #laughter, and #creativity. Here's to more days like this, fueling our #passion and #teamwork. Thanks to everyone who made it unforgettable! 💙 #Outmin #CompanyDay #AutomatedAccounting #Unstoppable

As I attempt to integrate three younger chicks with our six existing hens, it hit me that raising chickens offers surprising insights into company culture. Just as a flock thrives on the right environment, a company flourishes when its culture is nurtured with care and attention. Chickens rely on a balanced ecosystem—shelter, food, and protection—to lay eggs and grow strong. Similarly, a thriving company culture requires a supportive environment, clear communication, and the right resources to help employees reach their potential. Chickens also teach us the importance of community. A healthy flock operates on teamwork, with each chicken playing a role, much like employees in a well-functioning team. When there’s harmony and a sense of belonging, productivity and morale soar. Moreover, just as disruptions [see “introducing new pullets to your group of hens”] in the coop can cause stress or lower egg production, a negative or toxic company culture can lead to disengagement and high turnover. It's a reminder that consistent care and attention are essential to maintaining a healthy, productive workplace. In essence, tending to a flock of chickens isn't so different from cultivating a strong company culture. Both require patience, understanding, and the willingness to adapt to create an environment where everyone can thrive. #Leadership #CompanyCulture #Teamwork #Growth #Chickens
