I've finally jumped on the hype and done a reformer pilates class ✨

It is absolutely DECIEVEING though because the weight is not heavy at all but tell me why my muscles were screaming at me the whole time😂 😭 

I also came to the conclusion that I do not have the calm energy that comes with the territory (I'm sure the office is praying it rubs off on me) 

Anywhooooo I’ll absolutely be back, matcha in hand, fully leaning into the Pilates girl era 💅 ☕ 
Hopefully I can rope some of the team in as well 👀

The well-being olympics are in full swing here G.Digital andddddd we may have found a new obsession 🎾

Having a boss that actually forces you to prioritise your mental/ physical health (especially in recruitment) is unreal.... you're the best Georgie Lynskey!!

There's definitely some practice needs to be had though

⚽ Arron got confused and thought we were playing football 


I'm voting we host a G&T (girls and tech!) padel event because they DEFINITELLLYYYYY needed some more gals in there 👀


G.Digital | G&T (girls and tech!)

👎 In 2025, over women represent just 25% of the STEM workforce

😭 In high-growth fields (like Engineering and Development) women hold only 23% of jobs

📉 Nearly 80% of women have considered leaving tech due to a lack of recognition and career growth


Do you know what 100% of women we spoke to in 2025 said is a major factor to improving this though.... Male allyship 📣💪

THIS is why we partner with organisations that have incredible cheerleaders in the business!!


Here are what some of them had to say about the importance of allyship 🙌


Big thanks again to our speakers Jamie Haydock, Liam Booth, Will Cook... Keep flying the flat for diversity & inclusion 💞

💭 "If you look at your leadership team and all you see is people that look like me, you need to re-think your hiring process" 💭


Our Allyship playbook is now LIVEEEE 🥳✨


We know that most people want to do the right thing but sometimes it's just hard to know what that looks like in practice

This playbook breaks allyship down into real, everyday actions ✔️

It’s not about being perfect (absolutely no-one is btw)
It’s about being intentional, consistent and doing something that makes a difference, no matter how small that might be 🩷

Think this could be beneficial to yourself or the wider business, drop me a message 📲
