Our Chief People Officer Greg McCaw has contributed to articles from the Forbes Human Resources Council on ensuring fair treatment across roles, addressing workplace loneliness and launching and managing an employee resource group (ERG).
How HR Teams Can Ensure Fair Treatment Across Roles
Become A Data-Driven Organization
‘Challenge traditional approaches by using data to analyze how different demographics perform in terms of promotions, pay and learning. Move beyond subjective views and outdated processes. Real-time insights help uncover disparities and ensure equity by focusing on measurable, actionable data. This approach drives fairness by addressing the specific gaps within your workforce rather than relying on assumptions.’
20 Tips For Addressing Workplace Loneliness In Remote And Hybrid Teams
Ensure A Mix Of In-Person And Remote Teams For Projects
‘It’s about challenging ourselves to recognize that what we did four years ago to foster organizational citizenship isn’t good enough anymore. We need to bring the organization’s culture to people, wherever they are or choose to be. One approach is creating mixed project teams with in-office and remote staff, ensuring everyone collaborates, contributes and feels a true part of the community.’

Invest In Foundational Sessions
‘A common pitfall in launching employee resource groups is creating them and then stepping back. For ERGs to thrive, we must invest in foundational “ways of working” sessions and empower members with clear agency, autonomy and a budget. Change doesn’t happen from creation alone; it requires ongoing support, training and close engagement to nurture progress, ensuring ERGs drive meaningful outcomes.’
