Engagement vs Meaningful Engagement
For 71% of HR professionals, 2020 has been the most challenging year*. I'm guessing this may be comparable to other professions, but when you have an increasingly stressed workforce (59%), who are less connected to the organisation they work for (32%) and less engaged...
Reemerge. Rethink. Reboot.
Well, it's been a while. AnyGood? like many businesses is emerging from the economic and health tornado that is still leaving a trail of destruction behind it. I'll be honest, it feels like I've done a few rounds with Nicola Adams. But we're stronger for it right?...

The Business Of Hypermobility
Hypermobility can be both a blessing and a curse, but I'm finding that this more accurately describes how I'm looking at AnyGood? and our need to contort into the kind of business that's needed today. For me, being flexible enough to offer free services, new features...
Leveraging Marketplaces To Help COVID-19 Support Efforts
For around 15 years now I've been getting (many would say "overly") excited by the sharing economy, marketplaces and crowdsourcing. The way they've eased so many high friction industries and enabled multiple users to transact directly has reinvented market behaviours....

Remote onboarding, working and engaging
