“What difference/change do you want to champion and drive within The Hive?”
Sally and Noj asked one Tuesday morning. So in true Hive fashion we took to the roundtables in our office to discuss the positive change we want to drive as a collective. “One of the core values laid out by the team themselves is Be High Energy and wow was this evident during discussions! With so much passion from each and every Hive team member it is fantastic to see this channelled into activity outside of the day to day to drive change from within.”- Lydia Matthews, COO
The key goals set out by the team sit within 3 core areas of focus. Introducing the Hive Committees:
Hive Gives Back
Sustainability at and within The Hive
Hive Well Being
And meet the team members charged with ensuring the goals live and breathe internally and externally…

Here at the Hive, I believe we have an important role to play in continuing to give back to the communities we work in. There are many communities where we have a part to play and I am keen to help the Hive to do this.”
– Heidi Harrington, Event Executive, The Hive Network
Sustainability at and within The Hive
Mission:
Reduce waste
Educate and inspire the team and our Hives
There are so many important and wonderful causes out there, but without a healthy planet to live on, I feel that these pale into insignificance in the (very) long term… I also feel that climate change and other societal issues, such as racism, are strongly interlinked. I think everyone should be taking steps to tackle climate change, no matter how big or small, and working as a team to do this can lead to much greater results!”
– Lorna Andrews, Community Manager, The Hive Network
Hive Well Being
Mission:
Foster an environment that motivates, inspires and comforts every team member
Celebrates success
I joined the well being committee to play my part to keep the team on top of their game and ensure everyone is happy and well – I believe social setting and happiness in what you do are two key things for success!”
– Frankie Shand, Marketing Manager, The Retail Hive
