Welcome to The F Word Magazine – Elephant Rider Year In Review 2022. R&E's mission is to humanise the workplace by getting people talking. We flip the conversations leaders, and people can have around culture, performance, experiences, and wellbeing. We give leaders a simple, proven, structured, innovative way to emotionally connect with their teams. And we give people the language they need to make that happen.

Over the past three years, our Elephant Rider Community has grown to over 1000 riders in 37 countries. This year we are excited to share a selection of Elephant Rider Stories and ECD Bright Spots from within our Community.

The F-Word Magazine showcases ECD stories and bright spots that give readers an insight into our Elephant Rider Community and their work to humanise the places we work.
