This episode is all about People Operations for SMBs and the four stages of growing your People Ops team.

Now, maybe that just starts with you as the founder, but as you grow a business, you then start to lean on other people. Maybe it's an office manager, an assistant, a director of operations, somebody that helps you wrap your arms around the structure of the business and train the new people that are coming in. As your business grows more, maybe you bring on that first HR person or People Operations person, and then eventually they build out their team with all the different functions.

This was a really fun conversation where we dug into the three different people, four, including me, who have held those roles so far at Trainual over the last four or five years. We broke down each stage, the things that we were good at, the things that we were not so good at, and the things that maybe you should be thinking about in your business as you grow to develop an incredible employee experience. Enjoy, dig in and hear our story for how we've grown People Ops at Trainual.

Shoutout to Sasha Robinson, Chelsey Krisay, and Marlowe Everett for jumping on the podcast to discuss all thing people ops with me!

How to make fans out of your rejected candidates. It sound counterintuitive, right? Why would someone still love your business after getting rejected for the position? You'd be surprised at how an incredible interview process, treating candidates the right way, and giving them constructive feedback can leave a positive impact on everyone that applies. That lasting impression can come back to benefit your business even if you didn't hire them. With our incredible recruiting and interview team, we've seen this happen with our candidates, time and time again. I'll break it down in this episode.

I think there is a huge correlation between process documentation and burnout. How a lack of SOPs can result in burnout and this feeling of "spinning your wheels" without improving.

You can listen to the full conversation of my guest appearance on the New World of Work podcast, in the episode titled How to develop processes that work for your team with Chris Ronzio, founder and CEO of Trainual.
