“We were small at this time, were 25 people. One of our members of CS hand raised to say, I'll be our first director of people, culture and impact. And so, you don't normally have a full time HR culture person in a company of 25. We decided to make that investment, that it was that important to tackle these things.”
“The head of HR, who's one the most progressive heads of HR on the planet, said this is the most important work we've ever done in HR because of what we identified.”
“The number one way that you can measure the return on investment for any investments in culture, but particularly psychological safety, is looking at how it changes the ability to attract and retain talent.”
