Our ideas
We have a lot to say…
Safety culture, not safety tick boxes
When staff feel psychologically and physically safe they are more productive, motivated and confident – it’s great for your people and your bottom line.
Safety is such a huge topic it can be overwhelming knowing where to begin. Read on for our advice on building a safety culture at work.
Buddy to boss: how to support new managers
Whether dealing with imposter syndrome or navigating the awkwardness that comes with going from peer to superior, becoming a manager for the first time is one of the biggest shifts in working life and it comes with a lot of big changes and big feelings.
Learn how to embrace the transition and become the best boss you can be.
Beyond resolutions: a guide to goal setting year-round
New year, new you? How can we set objectives that we, and our teams, can really stick to? How do teams and individuals who regularly set goals, and see them through, manage to do it? Read our top takeaways on goal setting year-round.
Exploring the future of learning
What are some of the learning and development trends organisations can expect to see in the future of work?
We explored four trends that are predicted to make a huge impact on organisations next year.
Black History Month: Saluting Our Sisters
October officially marks the beginning of Black History Month UK.
This year’s theme is ‘Saluting our Sisters’ and it highlights the crucial role that black women have played in shaping history, inspiring change, and building communities.

South Asian Heritage Month
To celebrate South Asian Heritage Month this year at NKD, we hosted an in-person event where we took a closer look at understanding the South Asian experience, unpacking colonialism, and discussing ways in which we can all decolonise our present. Derek reflects on his experience at the workshop in our new blog.
Skilled Listening: why we need to tune in to listening
People spend between 70%-80% of their day engaged in some form of communication, and about 55% of their time devoted to listening. But are they really listening?
In our new blog, we explore what makes a ‘good listener’, the benefits of listening and the impact this can have on the bottom line.
Deskless workers: workplace wellbeing for all
Boston Consulting Group recently conducted a survey that revealed that 37% of deskless workers are at risk of leaving their jobs in the next six months, and 50% attributed this to a lack of ‘work-life’ balance.
Deskless workers play a vital role in every business, so how do we ensure we are supporting and promoting their wellbeing?
Creating a truly inclusive workplace culture every month of the year
It feels like LinkedIn is currently full of articles around pride season and celebrating the diversity of our teams – though the flip side of this is the acknowledgement that as organisations we need to avoid “inclusivity washing”.
Explore what we do here at NKD to work towards creating a truly inclusive workplace every month of the year.
