The Dash - Summer 2024

Pushing boundaries to help clients and professional partners achieve their goals?

Welcome back to The Dash, your five-minute round-up of the last quarter’s activity at Hyphen.?

After spending a wonderful week working together in Ericeira, it seems a fitting time to reflect on what has been an incredibly full three months in which our tireless team have pushed themselves particularly hard for our clients and professional partners.?

As well as working on our usual array of engagements, we are also building for the future – and you should keep your eyes peeled for some exciting news coming very soon.?

Before all of that, though, let’s look at what we’ve been up to in Q2.?

Rewarding work on risk management project

Our latest case study showcased efforts to assist an American asset management firm in building its risk management function from scratch.?

The work of our team and our cross-functional team of professional partners helped this ambitious business take the next step in its development as it prepared to enter one of the most tightly regulated marketplaces in the world.?

Our involvement with this client extended beyond the initial scope, with the team staying on to train those using the risk management system they created. The project once again sums up how our action-based approach, which sees experienced experts share their knowledge, can work in any environment, regardless of industry or geography.?

More case studies that shine a light on some of our interesting engagements will follow in the coming months. You can also read more in-depth accounts of our work on the projects page of our website.?

Ops addition and landmark internship partnership agreed

Our Operations team received a boost in Q2 with the addition of Christina Kae, who has already made a significant impact. As an Operations Support Specialist, Christina helps us respond even quicker to contractor requests while on-site and enhances our capacity to help more professionals prepare for their engagements.?

This quarter also saw us strike a partnership with the Misk Foundation to become an employer as part of the Global Remote Internship Program.?

The arrangement could have long-term benefits for our company, our clients and partners, and the next generation of Saudi talent. Two interns joined us for two months earlier this year, gaining invaluable experience while also helping us to continue building Hyphen – and we look forward to welcoming more in the future.?

Work continues to further supplement our team, with more updates to come very soon.?

Shining a Spotlight on our expert network?

Dr Laura Joan Salm became the second person to share her experiences with us as part of our Spotlight Series.?

The remarkable story of her career to date, the value of emotional intelligence and lessons learned from running her own business, savie, all feature in this in-depth interview as we look to show both the personal and professional sides of those within our network.?

Expect to see another story from one of our professional partners in the coming weeks.?

What else is going on at Hyphen??

Our commitment to creativity was once again exhibited as one of our resident design dynamos, Yujin Chiang, explained how he approaches his work. By combining cutting-edge tech, old-school inspiration and his natural flair, he crafts tailored resources and plays an instrumental part in the ongoing evolution of our digital resources.?

Meanwhile, our Product and Innovation Lead Kamila Poto?árová attended one of Europe’s biggest HR technology conferences to learn more about the latest updates in the sector. The takeaways from that event have helped shape our product development efforts as we push on with our own tech-driven solutions.?

We have some important updates in store for the coming weeks so check our website and LinkedIn pages regularly for the latest. Make sure you also subscribe to The Dash to get a notification about our quarterly recap.?
