Remote first? A holistic approach to employee wellbeing & diversity Wellness Warriors at Work

Today our guest is Michelle Davies, VP of Operations at WeFarm, the world’s largest knowledge network and marketplace for small-scale farmers. WeFarm was ranked amongst the top startups to work for in the UK, and in this episode, Michelle shares some behind-the-scenes of how they’ve built such a great culture.

We discuss a controversial topic, work mode. Does the traditional office continue to be the best mode of work, or is it possible for companies like WeFarm, that are remote-first, to tap into even more advantages from working fully remotely?


We look into how WeFarm supports the mental and physical health of employees, as well as how they foster diversity and inclusion. The latter is pretty amazing at WeFarm, as Michelle reveals that their tech team only, has members living in 5 different countries and representing 10 different nationalities. Finally, we discuss trends and challenges that you can expect to see in the HR sector in the coming years; I’m confident that these will be invaluable for you to stay ahead of the curve.
