When Rachel Clarke and Melanie Welsh set up communications and strategy practice Strat House they knew they wanted to work in a new and more balanced way. The resulting innovative working practices they have put in place – from 180 days a year maximum working to “mountain time” to combat ‘always-on’ digital culture – are creating a healthier business environment that puts results behind presenteeism. At the same time, they are working to create a workplace that allows their employees to grow and challenge their own bias in a positive and proactive way to create more inclusivity. In the latest everywoman podcast episode, we talk to them about creating the ‘workplace of the future’ now – and why challenging bias, such as microagressions, is also helping to break the cycle of bias in wider communications, from messaging to algorithms.
