In this episode of Freedom of Work, host Leah Cottham sits down with Selina Purdie, Head of People at Monolith AI, to explore how people teams can borrow principles from product management to design intentional employee experiences.

Selina shares her unique journey from scientist to people leader, explaining how she applies data-driven thinking to map employee touchpoints, build public roadmaps, and identify friction points throughout the employee lifecycle - from attraction to exit.

Together, Leah and Selina dive into real-world examples, from redesigning performance management for remote teams to boosting learning budget adoption and embedding company values through rituals. They highlight practical frameworks like employee journey mapping, feedback loops, and stay interviews, all designed to create trust, transparency, and sparks of joy across distributed teams.

Whether you're in HR, people ops, or simply curious about crafting better workplaces, this episode offers practical strategies and inspiring stories for rethinking the employee experience as if it were a product.
