HR professionals sometimes live a double life. 🕵️ We know the formula: thriving employees = engaged, innovative, high-performing organisations. And that creating those environments takes a lot of hard work and strategic effort. And yet, we're notoriously bad at applying this knowledge to ourselves, and putting on our own oxygen masks first. Let's say a big 'doei' to that in 2025. 👋 When employees thrive, they don’t just do their jobs; they bring their best. And the best way to inspire others is by setting the example - and become the change you want to see in your organisation. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁?

Warning - cheesy 🧀 end of year post: 2024 was the year we proved '𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀' isn't just a fancy consultant phrase - it's a mission that transforms how people experience work. Spoiler: It involves a lot of kindness, zero micro-managing, and possibly a few amazing cocktails at our team meetings 🍸 This year, 7people went from a dream to a reality that's reshaping how startups and scale-ups think about People & Culture. But let me be real - it wasn't all smooth sailing. Building a team that truly gets our mission? That took 1200+ applications and more coffee than I care to admit 😅. → 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀 1. Grew from solo founder (in '21) to a team of 15 incredible humans in '24. 2. Besides our core team, we worked with 11 'besties' - our trusted zzp-ers whom we can't do without anymore (you know who you are) 3. We supported 50+ organizations THIS YEAR in creating cultures where people actually want to do their best work ever. 4. Proved that HR can be both strategic AND kind 5. We passed the €2mil revenue mark 6. Multiple of our clients raised funds or had a successful exit 7. We helped 20+ people & culture professionals make a professional move!

To our wonderful 7people community ✨ It’s almost a wrap for us this week 🎁. We’ve given our team an extra company ‘well-being day’ off on the 27th, to maximise the time with loved ones or just to take care of themselves 💜. For many of us, it’s also a wrap for the rest of the year. So we’ll be a bit quieter here over the next fortnight - and hope you will be too. Because (believe it or not), sometimes being present in real life is more important than on LinkedIn 😜. So to everyone who’s worked for us or with us, been a client or meet-up guest, listened to our podcast, read our newsletter, chatted with us on socials, invited us to a speaker event, or otherwise been a part of our 2024 in any way… A big THANK YOU for an amazing year 🙏. We’ve got exciting plans for 2025, and can’t wait to get cracking…after fuelling up with a proper reset and recharge🔋. Remember to take the time for yourselves too, and wishing you all a joyful, relaxed and restorative festive break. From Team 7people (and Alfie) 💖
