How better HR habits can accelerate growth

The technology industry is on an exciting upward trajectory. However, from ‘hustle culture’ and workplace hybridity to gender disparities and more, a number of stressors are causing a major bottleneck for people-based progress. So, what’s to give? As well as optimising collaboration, communication, and productivity in a flexible workspace, future-focused firms need to ensure their culture pivots according to modern-day demands.


Seeking the support of external HR, for tech companies, might seem like a costly burden. In reality, leaning on an outsourced consultant can help drive pacey results, at a fraction of the cost of hiring an internal specialist. And that’s not all. At hoomph, we also become part of the team to provide no-holds-barred access to our expertise and energy — because when we're in, we’re all in.

Closing the gender gap

While major strides are being made every day, a significant gender disparity remains in the tech space. The role of HR for tech companies is about driving change through culture, adding the extra oomph businesses need to scale successfully. Organisations can:

  • Develop diversity initiatives tailored for women in tech

  • Conduct gender pay equity audits regularly

  • Provide inclusive training and development opportunities

  • Offer flexible work arrangements and family-friendly policies

  • Foster a supportive company culture and track progress

  • Sarah quickly established herself within our exec team as a trusted and respected advisor. Her ability and experience allowed her to build relationships and understand the business at pace, which meant that the support and advice she gave was well-considered and valued almost from day one of her being in post as our interim HR director. Highly recommended and a pleasure to work with.

Navigating change management

Amid a tough economic backdrop, strategic change management remains critical in the tech sector. Regardless of healthy profit margins and increasing investments, firms are left remedying the knee-jerk hires they made post-Covid to improve overall operating expense efficiency. But it’s during such belt-tightening times when HR, for tech companies in particular, can prove the most valuable. We’re talking about:

  • Exploring the implications of change management and outlining alternative routes

  • Humanising the process through more personalised messaging and ethical delivery

  • Ensuring contractual language is compliant with employment law

  • Conducting performance evaluations and one-to-ones to to maintain open dialogue

  • Reassuring employees who remain in the business about job security
