The world of scaling up a business can be a frenetic, chaotic, crazy and rewarding experience at the best of times. During all the hurly-burly and constant change, hard-wiring your ideal enabling culture into the embryonic fabric of your business and creating an environment where employees are engaged and feel like they are thriving, can get left until later. If it's left too late, it can create a mountain of issues that's hard work to climb eventually, such as talent loss, constant recruitment, poor levels of employee engagement and revenue and profit dilution. But it doesn't have to be that way.

 

In episode 46 of the Sticky From The Inside Podcast, host Andy Goram, from the employee engagement and workplace culture consultancy, Bizjuicer, talks to Tom Holliss, Chief People Officer of Zappi. Tom talks about the lessons they've learned during their scaling-up activities, and honestly shares their successes and mistakes, including the time they tried self-set salaries! But all the way through their journey they've put respect, trust and treating their people like adults at the very heart of the organisation.
