Last week we had the pleasure of talking to Ryan Tanna of Blinktime to find out more about its hybrid working tool and their mission to allow companies to offer flexible working without the inefficiencies and ambiguities that currently exist. We were joined by experts in the field Sinead Daly and Miriam Pfister, Ph.D. who are helping Ryan hone his narrative and give him critical insights from the point of view of potential customers. There was unanimous agreement in the room that companies will massively benefit from Blinktime’s powerful tool which optimises office space, eliminates wasted commutes, and provides guilt-free, documented flexitime, with brand new, useful insights to people teams. The conversation was really informative and brought to light many interesting opportunities, from potential partnerships, to how to leverage (and enhance) scientific research. Thank you so much Sinead and Miriam for your time and advice, it made for such a useful session. We will be doing more Founder Validation Sessions over the coming weeks, if you’d like to find out more about how these work, drop us a message and we will send you more information.

Lots of great conversations and feedback 🙌🏼 Thanks to everyone who let us interview them at the CIPD festival. There was a strong theme that HR are dealing with significant burnout/stress levels, and have big concerns over the next 12+ months when it comes to changes in the budget and employment law legislation.
