This #InternationalWomensDay, we want to say thank you to all the amazing women that we are fortunate to have in the Velocitii team. We're proud to work with so many brilliant minds, across different disciplines, doing inspiring work within #digital government 👩‍💻 #IWD2021

[Michael Horrigan @mdhorrigan]

Which digital tools have helped you cope with the shift to #remoteworking? We asked the @wearevelocitii team what's helped them adapt to #newwaysofworking, and collected their responses in a blog - it's a great read if you've got 5 mins today!

[Velocitii Digital @wearevelocitii]

After a year of #remotework, there's never been a greater need for digital tools that will make our working day more productive, efficient and easier. We asked the Velocitii team what tools they use to work smarter, not harder, when #workingfromhome 👇

Social value is something we've been thinking about a lot lately, particularly since the start of the pandemic. @Clare_HR does a great job of explaining what we're doing in the #socialvalue space, and why we're doing it, in her latest blog post for @wearevelocitii 👏

[Clare Blain @Clare_HR]

Great to be part of @SR2RECLTD's meet-up on #DigitalDelivery within a #pandemic. I particularly liked Randal Whitmore's idea of lifting team spirits & countering bad news stories by taking it in turns to share a "Hooray of the Day”!

So, here are my reflections on 2020 - including how we've changed as a business, what we've learnt, and just some of the many highlights 👇 (3/3)

[Michael Horrigan @mdhorrigan]

Attempting to sum up a whole year in a blog post is always tricky, but this year it was a real challenge! For all its ups and downs, I’m glad to say we’ve come out the other side of 2020 not necessarily as a bigger business, but as a stronger one, in so many ways. (1/3)

[Michael Horrigan @mdhorrigan]

Hats off to the brilliant @wearevelocitii team for their hard work, resilience & adaptability, and a huge thank you to our fantastic clients for their continued support 👏 (2/3)

[Michael Horrigan @mdhorrigan]

Indy joined us earlier this year as a recent graduate and it's been a pleasure to watch her develop in her role as a #userresearcher for Velocitii Innovation. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

[Velocitii Digital @wearevelocitii]

This year has been tough for so many #students and uni leavers, so we want to share the inspiring story of one graduate's journey from #university to #userresearcher, and her #careeradvice for others.

This was a really important blog post for me to write, and one I couldn’t have done 5 years ago. I really applaud all the mental health champions who’ve made it easier to talk about this subject in recent years 👏 Love the stories from the Velocitii team too!

[Velocitii Digital @wearevelocitii]

In our latest blog post, @mdhorrigan tells us why #mentalhealth is so important and why we’re making it a priority here at Velocitii. We also ask the team what they do to stay mentally (and physically) fit.

RIP #RuthBaderGinsberg, an amazing legal brain and trailblazer for #WomensRights. She was proof that although change does take time, with much determination it can happen! The ‘RBG' documentary on Netflix is a good watch if you want to learn more about her fascinating career
