A big part of finding healthy and restful work is finding a workplace that allows us to enforce our boundaries and supports our development of healthy work habits. We deserve to find that workplace. Read more in our Developer Health OS: https://devhealthos.com G2i Inc.

Peak-performance athletes do not selectively or optionally decide to rest. Rest is fully integrated into their workout routine. Sleep and recovery are as much a part of an athlete’s practice as strength training, endurance, and conditioning. Read more from our Developer Health OS here: https://lnkd.in/ebP5NZNH G2i Inc.

Two years ago, I was drawn to G2i Inc. because of the company's mission to promote developer health. I felt this mission was so important yet so underappreciated in the industry. I wanted to help support such a worthwhile cause. Now, when people ask us how we as a company exactly support developer health, here are the main ways I could think of: 👩💼 As a community manager, I try to make myself available as a listening ear and friend to many of our members. While they're working on contracts, we offer support and ensure we advocate for them if any work environments become unhealthy or toxic. 🧑🤝🧑 We've also created programs like mentorship, workshops, and sessions to empower our community members to support each other. 📝 And lastly, we provide tailored resources from stress and burnout coaching (hi Madhurima Sappatti 👋) to educational events on challenges like imposter syndrome - all designed to help our members. I'm proud to share the newest addition to our list of resources, the Developer Health OS, which synthesizes 2 years of research and work by Michelle Bakels and Gabe Greenberg. 🙏 This opinionated framework provides a comprehensive approach to burnout prevention, recovery and peak performance for developers, complete with a companion workbook - and is a PLEASURE to read. You can access it here: https://lnkd.in/dFJ3naH4 💛

After 2 years of synthesizing, researching, consulting, and writing, we're proud to officially share The Developer Health OS by Michelle Bakels and Gabe Greenberg. The DHOS is an opinionated framework for burnout prevention, recovery, and optimal performance, complete with a companion workbook. The OS contains two parts: 1. A guide through burnout prevention, recovery, and optimal performance 2. A workbook with "Cerebral Calisthenics" to support clarity, accountability, and habit forming. Part 3 will feature guest articles from our community It is a free, online resource written with developers in mind, but devs are far from the only professionals who may find helpful information. We encourage this to be shared with any knowledge workers who face: - burnout - extreme levels of workplace stress Start using the OS here: https://lnkd.in/gS7nnmrH

Most traditional staffing agencies are slow, lack transparency, and struggle to provide any real technical vetting. It’s this sort of partnership that quickly turns into a nightmare and turns companies off from contingent labor altogether. Each hire feels like a roll of the dice, leaving you with more questions than answers. - Do they truly have the technical skills they claim? - Can they be trusted to deliver crucial projects? - How well can they work with the team? The customers? And if someone doesn’t work out in the first 30 days, you might get a replacement. But you’ve already wasted time and resources. Meanwhile, your project barely moved forward... This is gambling. And companies shouldn’t have to bear that risk. These are the standards you should demand: → transparent pricing. → recorded technical interviews. → direct access to the developers. → freedom to hire contractors permanently. → an interview process that fits your company. → comprehensive background on developers’ skills. Don't take less than you would if you were hiring internally. Or else, you're just gambling.

Ask any online community manager, and they’ll tell you one of the best parts about the job is meeting community members in person. Definitely had that spark in me 2 nights ago when Yousra Saleh and I met our cool, brilliant, and lovely London devs Mauro J. Dale Webb Gayan Kasthuriarachchi Roshan Gautam Louie Christie 💛 Had so much fun playing mini golf and losing! ⛳️ Thank you so much for showing up and reminding me why I do what I do!

🚀 My office for the next few days will be London 🇬🇧, and it’s going to be epic! I’m thrilled to share that I won’t be stuck at a desk doing mundane tasks. Instead, I’ll be joining my incredible coworker and friend, Thea Silayro at London Tech Week to champion our amazing company, G2i Inc. and spread the word about our developers health initiatives. But that's not all! Our schedule is packed with electrifying events: 🌟 London Tech Week 🌟 LeadDev 🌟 Meetups: Unlocking Leadership & Innovation in Tech 🌟 Emerging Tech & Networking Party @ London Tech Week 🌟 G2i Community Hangout in London! 🌟 CIPD - Festival of Work 🌟 London Tech Week: Smart City Fringe Event And that’s just the beginning! We’re cramming all this into less than 4 days! Wish us luck 😄 PS: here’s a pic of me freezing on my last trip to London - it was amazing 🤩 #LondonTechWeek #TechEvents #G2i #Networking #Innovation #Leadership #TechCommunity #LondonAdventures

Hiring 10+ developers this year? You can’t lower your quality standards. It’s far too costly. When high-growth companies come to us, they usually fulfill 3 criteria: 1/ a big project or ambitious migration 2/ a need to hire top developers… fast 3/ a high-bar for talent and culture fit The stakes and pressure to fill contingent roles are high. But that can't come at the expense of the quality of your screening and interviewing processes. We invest heavily in the vetting process to build out a custom talent pipeline full of top-notch candidates: → identifying green and red flags. → assessing write-ups and code samples. → running technical interviews that you can replay. We have partners who onboard 30+ developers in 15 days… without ever cutting corners. Making the wrong choice is far too risky. So we handpick developers that bring passion, quality and the specific skillset companies need. Need to hire developers with speed, agility and top-quality? Shoot me a DM.

Employees burn out because they carry on too long. Athletes push themselves to exceptional performance, but stop before the point of getting injured. So what can we learn from athletes? 1. Their workouts are scheduled on a routine 2. They have a clear start time and end time 3. They pace their progress to secure career longevity All this to reach the highest level of achievement. So why is it so hard for us to do the same? It's because we often lack systems and routines. Systems and routines to fall back on when: - We feel stressed out due to work - We feel worked up due to work - We are frustrated due to work - We are irritated due to work We want to work at a comfortable pace and rest before we get burned out. Here's how to do it: 1. Take a break and check your energy level 2. Feeling stressed out or worked up? 3. Take a moment to pace: → Meditate / breathe / stretch / walk, play with your pet Here are a few ways to practice pacing ↓
