Resolute wins the Empowering Leadership award from HeartCount

We're proud to share that Resolute has been honored with HeartCount's "Empowering Leadership" award for 2024. According to HeartCount, recipients in this category are "better positioned to adapt to change, encourage continuous learning, and retain top talent," and we're excited to be recognized among them. This award isn't just a milestone; it's a reflection of the culture we've been building together.
Listening as leadership: Tracking what matters most
For the past five years, Resolute has been using HeartCount to keep a finger on the pulse of our company's happiness and culture. This digital platform sends out weekly questions to our team, the true steering force behind Resolute, helping us gauge the emotional state of each individual. The gathered insights give the leadership team a clear view of how people feel about their work, Resolute’s culture, and leadership.
Here are just a few of the questions that helped spotlight our leadership style:

The responses to the questions above have helped shape the way we lead, so being recognized in this category feels especially meaningful. This award recognizes companies that foster trust, autonomy, and innovation. Since day one, Resolute has been committed to redefining what success looks like, not just achieving strong business results but also building a workplace where people thrive. From its establishment, Resolute has taken meaningful steps to shape a culture where everyone feels valued and where expectations go both ways and are genuinely met and using HeartCount is just one of them.
Investing in happiness: Everyday moments that strengthen our culture
Empowerment starts with care, and at Resolute, that means nurturing happiness and well-being in both everyday moments and long-term development. Beyond weekly check-ins, we invest in other happiness-boosting initiatives, like personal development sessions that cover topics such as health, mindfulness, and entrepreneurship. Promoting a healthy lifestyle is part of our DNA; think fresh breakfasts, smoothie days, and yes, even the occasional office-wide recipe swap.

At Resolute, sharing goes beyond code and, as they say, "intricacies of the craft." it's about supporting each other, growing together, and celebrating small traditions that build strong connections.
Celebrating each other: Why appreciation matters at Resolute
According to HeartCount, this award reflects a leadership style that inspires motivation, increases job satisfaction, and fosters long-term commitment. Feedback plays a crucial role in that. At Resolute, feedback flows in all directions, top-down and peer-to-peer.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the vision and values set by our leadership team. When asked, "What does winning the Empowering Leadership award mean to you personally and to the company as a whole?" our CEO, Hristo Georgiev, and CTO, Veli Pehlivanov, had this to say:
We hire passionate, smart, capable people and then get out of their way. The trust we place in our team is repaid in ownership, creativity, and a shared sense of purpose.
Winning the Empowering Leadership award is a deeply personal honor that validates my commitment to fostering growth, trust, and inclusion within our team. For the company, it symbolizes our collective dedication to cultivating a culture where empowered individuals drive innovation, collaboration, and long-term success - regardless of role or rank.
Charting the road ahead: Growing with purpose, led by people
At our year-end wrap-up last December, the word most chosen by Resoluters to describe 2024 was "growth." We're proud to be growing, not just in size but in spirit, leadership, and purpose. We're committed to continuing this journey and setting an example of what a truly empowering, people-first workplace looks like.
