Our careers blog highlights the expertise and experiences of Goodlord's different team members.
Goodlord's engineering team adapted quickly in 2020, but each change made was carefully thought out to stand the company in good stead in the long term, as Donovan Frew, CTO at Goodlord, explains.
We're celebrating International Women's Day, and we have plenty of female Goodlordians who are a success in their field. Here's just some advice they have to share, based on their own experiences, to help others - men and women - get ahead in their career.
Personal development initiatives can be of great benefit for employees and their company, helping both achieve more, together. Apprenticeships, such as the People Leadership Programme with Multiverse, are one of the possible routes to take, to learn new skills and adapt in a fast changing world.
Goodlord's engineering team learned a lot in 2020 through its reaction to the pandemic - both the things that the team got right, and the things that it could have done differently. Donovan Frew, CTO at Goodlord, believes that all of these lessons will stand the team in good stead for 2021.

Personal development is as important to us as growing our business. In fact, we believe that the latter cannot happen without the former, so we're proactive about making sure our employees are focusing on their own development.

Is a personal development budget a waste of money?
In most companies, yes. But at Goodlord? No.
The culture at most companies develops over time, interlinked with the business as it grows. While every start-up is different, it’s easy for company culture to diversify and segment as a business scales. In my time as a People and HR specialist, I’ve seen how company cultures can drift, creating pockets of people or even whole teams which aren’t connected to the wider business and its aims. In my experience, it’s most common for engineering teams to become gradually isolated from the pack, or treated differently. And when companies let this happen, the negative impact is felt by all.
