#4 Inclusion in the workplace - and why the 9-5 model is losing ground.
Episode 4
Friday, 4 June, 2021
The 9 to 5 industrial-age work model has excluded many talented professionals especially in the design and marketing field. Agency founders Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst saw the 3 things missing from the corporate world - flexibility, empathy and meritocracy - and appear to have the antidote. Hoxby is an agency that relies on a talented network of thousands of freelancers who do outstanding work on their own terms. Using their own personal examples, including Lizzie’s return to work after becoming a parent and Alex’s story of burnout at the time, this episode reveals how a fundamental change in our ways of working is necessary. What started as a change-the-world discussion in a pub in 2015 has become a leading UK agency built on the “work style” concept - the idea that anyone, anywhere can work with purpose, and judged on the quality of their work, not their circumstance or location. This episode is a story of #leadership based on #purpose that has created extraordinary success in a short period of time and delivered work for some of the largest brands in the world in a brand new way.
