Evolved Employer is dedicated to informing business leaders and change agents in various roles (HR, Talent, Diversity, Line Management) about best practices and ideas that will help them lead their companies in the 21st century, as truly progressive “Evolved Employers”.

We want to empower senior executives to lead their businesses in a way that is profitable, and yet sustainable, in all aspects of the word. If leaders succeed in understanding their role in creating strategy, policies and programs around inclusive behaviors and align their systems and programs accordingly to support meritocratic workplaces, then high performing work teams can emerge due to motivated and talented employees being able to feel the benefits of structural and cultural support.

Join us in our “Think Tank” as work with progressive firms and firms taking the first step on the talent journey as we facilitate and guide discussions around proven best practices that will help to move the needle around managing diversity. We address parity, equality, conscious and unconscious bias as part of our work to understand why some of your best staff may leave the firm. Be Brave, join the talent and employee engagement conversation.

We offer boutique strategic consulting  to companies to improve understanding around the business advantages of a diverse and engaged workforce and we co-create a roadmap to help you as an individual firm to address specific challenges.

Founder, Evolved People Media LLC
CEO, Evolved Employer

Nicki Gilmour, a Belfast native, is a dedicated workplace game changer with over a decade of experience in the media industry.

One of the original team assembled by Angus MacDonald at the Financial News in London, Nicki relocated to the US in 2004 to run The Financial News Group’s online career sites (efinancialcareers.com and jobsinthemoney.com) as Managing Director. The newspaper and career sites were sold in 2006 and 2007.

While running efinancialcareers, Nicki recognized that companies spend a great deal of time and money trying to recruit diverse talent but saw that women, once hired were not progressing at an equal pace to men up the ranks. She founded Evolved People Media LLC in July 2007 with the flagship website theglasshammer.com to inform, inspire and empower women in the financial and professional services industry and in tandem launched evolvedemployer.com to inform business leaders and HR champions about progressive workplace issues and talent management strategies to develop and retain their most engaged talent- including women.

Nicki has a business degree from the Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK and a graduate degree in business from Universidad de Murcia in Spain. Nicki is currently undertaking an Executive Masters in Change Leadership at Columbia University in New York. Nicki resides in NYC with her partner and enjoys engaging conversation, fine wine, surfing and snowboarding/skiing in her spare time.
