 Boom! 💥

These conversations just keep flowing! I am so blessed!

This week I am joined by Ingeborg van Harten, Founder of 7people People & Culture consultancy. Inge is also a multiple time Head of People and Global HR Lead, having support more than 50 organizations in here career (including a few unicorns like Mollie 🦄) to grow successfully. 

INSANE amount of value in this conversation, I can't believe I get to call speaking to people like Inge, work! 😱🙏🏻

The main focus of our conversation was: How to create irresistible workplaces.

We covered a whole lot of ground, but if you listen to this conversation you will come out the otherside with a much clearer, no BS, view on what it takes to create truly incredible People Experience (PX) and genuinely irresistible workplaces 🤘🏻

Some of the things that came up:

  • Transparency is key
  • Utilise design principles
  • Excite people! (focus on challenges not outputs)
  • Put traditional performance reviews in the bin
  • Invest in Managers and build strong teams
  • Build culture before brand
  • Leverage the employee voice
  • Utilise skills from across the business to improve People Ops

Sooooo much great stuff in this 60 minute coffee chat!

 As always, I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope that you do too 🤘🏻🎙️
