You can’t call yourself a diverse company if you make your employees go to the office 5 days a week. Here’s some people that could never join your workforce: 🙇🏻♀️ Talented people with social anxiety 😖 Talented people with chronic pain 🩻 Talented people with chronic illness 🎓 Talented people studying a degree that requires them to be at school 1 full day 🚝 Talented people that can’t afford to commute to your office everyday 🩼 Talented people in crutches or with mobility challenges (I’m in crutches now so I would know) 👧🏽 Talented people with kids and nobody to pick them up for them 👦🏻 Talented people with kids unable to pay the fees for breakfast clubs and afterschool clubs ⛺️ Talented people with kids unable to pay for summer camp all summer 👵🏻 Talented people looking after a loved one 📦 Talented people moving house and waiting for miscellaneous deliveries for the next weeks 🏥 Talented people in long-term medical treatment and unable to choose dates and times 🩸Talented people with severely painful periods or endometriosis 🤰🏻Talented people pregnant suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (unbearable nausea) 💜 Talented people with other mental illness i.e. agoraphobia 🧠 Talented people that are neurodiverse But see the key word here is TALENTED. So, why close the door to them like that? And why close it to yourself as a company? Why deny yourself of amazing performers just because you can’t trust them? Because that’s what this is, a matter of trust. Diversity is not only changing a company logo with the 🏳️🌈 colours. It is so much more than that and today it also means flexible working. Let’s keep fighting for diverse workplaces.

What would you do if you had only 50 days to live? This is Laís. She is just 23 years old and has been diagnosed with cancer. According to her doctors, she has only 50 days to find a bone marrow donor. Unfortunately, people from Central and Latin America cannot make this type of bone marrow donation under the current Irish government regulations due to the risk of Chagas disease. I am unable to make a bone marrow donation for Laís, but I can make this post to try to reach more people in hopes of finding someone who can read this and somehow help. I am not asking for any financial help, just your kindness in commenting, sharing, or doing whatever you think is necessary to make this post reach more people. I sincerely hope that Laís can find this donation and that in the future we can look back and remember that in some way, even with just a click of the mouse, we participated and saved a human life. It could be me, it could be you. Thank you very much for your support. Leonardo Bissoli. O que você faria se tivesse 50 dias de vida? Essa é Laís. Ela tem apenas 23 anos e foi diagnosticada com cancer. Ela tem 50 dias para achar um doador(a) bone marrow de acordo com o diagnóstico dos médicos. Infelizmente pessoas da America Central e Latina não podem fazer esse tipo de doação de acordo com os regras atuais do governo Irlandês devido as possibilidades da doença de chagas. Eu não consigo fazer essa doação para a Laís mas consigo fazer esse post para conseguir atingir mais pessoas até achar alguém que consiga ler e de alguma forma conseguir ajudar. Não estou pedindo qualquer tipo de ajuda financeira, apenas sua bondade em comentar, compartilhar ou o que você achar necessário para que esse post possa atingir mais pessoas. Espero do fundo do meu coração que a Laís consiga essa doação e que no futuro possamos lembrar que de alguma forma, mesmo com um clique do mouse, mesmo que indiretamente, tivemos a participação e salvamos a vida de um ser humano. Poderia ser comigo, poderia ser com você. Muito obrigado pelo seu apoio. Um grande abraço. Leonardo Bissoli.

My new employee asked me for time off. I immediately approved it. She was shocked and asked, “Don’t you want to know the reason why?” My reply was, "I don't need to know the details. I hired you to get the job done and I trust you to get it done.” You choose how to get your work done. Come to the office fine. 9 to 5? Fine. Work from home. Fine. Leave early. Fine. Work from the garage while they fix your car? Fine. We are all human. I don't need to know you will be late because of a doctor's appointment, or you are leaving early to attend a personal matter. It's sad how we have infantilized the workplace so much, that employees feel the need to apologize for having personal lives. I am not a clock watcher. I trust you to get your job done. Keep clients happy. I am happy. Brigette Hyacinth
