15Five
15Five provides HR and People teams with a complete performance management and engagement platform to help organizations boost employee performance, develop stronger managers, and improve retention.
As part of their ongoing content program, 15Five needed a senior writer to translate complex people-management topics into clear, credible, and accessible content for HR leaders.
Working with Claire Beveridge Consulting
With a fast-moving editorial calendar and a wide range of People Ops topics to cover—from DEI and manager enablement to employee engagement and leadership—15Five needed a writer who could:
Confidently handle sensitive workplace subjects
Bring depth, empathy, and lived experience to DEI themes
Produce high-volume, research-backed content quickly
Maintain 15Five’s established voice and point of view
Collaborate smoothly with their content marketing team
They weren’t looking for a generalist—they needed someone who had both technical fluency in HR topics and real-world leadership experience.
From 2021 to 2024, 15Five partnered with Claire to produce monthly long-form content across management, leadership, employee engagement, and DEI. This collaboration drew on Claire’s 16+ years of experience leading in-house and freelance teams, as well as her lived experience as an LGBTQ2+ leader, bringing credibility and nuance to complex workplace themes.
Claire served as a strategic writing partner, delivering research-driven, SEO-informed content that strengthened 15Five’s authority, educated HR leaders, and supported consistent demand-generation efforts.
