PAY EQUITY

The Pay Gap Persists, But Better Negotiation is Here

Takeaways:

  • Women in UK tech are paid 17.5% less than men, and it starts early. Stanford research shows female MBAs get lower offers, not due to skill, but because they negotiate less often.

  • Only 40% of women negotiate their salary compared to 60% of men, yet those who do almost always get more. The confidence gap has real financial consequences.

  • A new tool, Jack, offers free salary negotiation coaching using real employer tactics and salary benchmarks, helping level the playing field without a £300/hour coach.

EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION

Showing Appreciation Sounds Simple Until You're the One Doing It

Employee Appreciation Day is March 6, and it often lands in the middle of a packed week.

You want to do something thoughtful, but it usually means picking a gift, sorting logistics, and hoping it does not feel random or forced. That's usually where things stall.

It's also why we like using Goody when appreciation is on the list but time..is not.

You send one gift link.

They pick something they actually want.

No address collecting. No guessing. No follow-ups.

The options are things people are genuinely excited to pick, from trendy picks and book finds to self-care treats, cozy home upgrades, and gift cards.

It lets you acknowledge people without turning appreciation into a whole other project.

If March 6 is on your calendar, you can take care of it in a few clicks.

Send something thoughtful with Goody.

Avoid This Cognitive Trap

Takeaways:

  • Most people focus on the flaw, not the full picture, just like seeing only the black dot on a white page and ignoring all the white space.

  • The Domino Mindset turns one small slip into a spiral: "I messed up" to "I'm bad at this." It's a mental trap, though, not a truth.

  • The fix is perspective. When things go wrong, zoom out. One moment isn't your whole story, it's just one dot on the page.

Steal This Goal System That Actually Works For Your Team

Takeaways:

  • Set 3–5 specific, measurable quarterly goals that require sustained effort, then check if your week's work actually supports them.

  • Weekly Wins > task lists. Each team member chooses 3 meaningful outcomes per week, all tied back to quarterly goals. If it doesn't connect, it doesn't make the list.

  • A simple update rhythm (status, wins, blockers) keeps the team aligned and builds a real-time record of progress, which means no more scrambling at review time.

Losing Candidates Because Hiring Takes Too Long

Posting the role is easy.

What slows teams down is everything that follows: interview scheduling turns into a week of emails. Feedback shows up late or not at all. Decisions stall while candidates move on. Good applicants start ghosting.

If this feels familiar, your hiring process is already costing you time and talent.

Teams use Workable to keep candidates moving and decisions from stalling.

What it helps teams do better:

  • Reach stronger candidates faster with built-in sourcing

  • Book interviews without back-and-forth

  • Keep feedback visible so decisions don't drag

  • Send offers and start onboarding from one place


Everything stays organized, timelines shrink, and fewer candidates fall through the cracks.

See how teams hire faster with Workable.

COLOR CODING

Google Cal, But Make It Cute

Takeaways:

  • Using cohesive hex codes brings visual structure to your week, making it easier to distinguish tasks and feel organized at a glance.

  • Themes boost motivation. Matching your calendar to an album or mood (like Lover or Honeymoon) turns routine planning into something that feels creative and personalized.

  • Romanticize your routine. Aesthetic planning isn't just cute, it's a subtle productivity hack. When your calendar feels like a vibe, you're more likely to actually use it.
