“𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐣𝐨𝐤𝐞.” We’ve all heard it. Some of us have said it. But in today’s workplace, where inclusion and respect are more important than ever, that phrase can carry weight far beyond its intent. 𝑊𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟 can be a powerful tool. It builds camaraderie, eases tension, and helps teams bond... But when the line between light-hearted and harmful is crossed, the consequences can be serious. We take a deep dive into how employers and employees can promote and maintain a culture where humour uplifts rather than alienates - where everyone feels safe, seen, and respected. In a world where hybrid work, diverse teams, and evolving social norms are reshaping how we communicate, this conversation has never been more relevant.

𝐀 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 🌟 At Reed, we believe that hard work deserves more than just a pat on the back - it deserves to be celebrated in style. And yesterday, we did just that. Our #GoldenTicket event is one of the biggest days in our calendar. It’s a time where the entire business comes together, across offices and time zones, to recognise the incredible achievements of our co-members. Throughout the year, high performers from all across all areas of the business earn golden tickets - each one a symbol of excellence, dedication, and impact. And each ticket is a chance to win something truly special. This year’s prizes were nothing short of spectacular: 🏖 Luxury holiday vouchers for well-deserved escapes 🎁 £3,000 bundles to spend as they wish 🚗💨 And the ultimate prize… a brand-new Audi Q4 e-tron (congrats Gavin Barclay!) The event was streamed live across the business by our wonderful hosts Christopher Brindley and Lucy Buckland, creating a buzz that rippled through every Reed office. Cheers, confetti, and emotional reactions filled the screen as winners were announced by members of our senior leadership team - and we captured it all. This is all about 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. Recognising the talent, passion, and commitment that drives our business forward every single day. Here’s to our winners — and to every co-member who makes Reed what it is. 💛 #LifeAtReed #Since1960 #RewardingSuccess #TeamReed #EmployeeRecognition #CompanyCulture #AudiQ4 #ProudToBeReed
