Employee Engagement

Toronto, Canada Area

$250.0/min 5.0 20 $4.17/min

Trusted people expert for founders and employees of some of the brightest startups and scale-ups across Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia. Some common challenges I can you help you with include: • Co-founder issues: can't find the ideal one? repeated miscommunication? constantly butting heads? You have to be in sync or else it's a waste of time, energy and money. • Building a team: who’s the right fit? what roles do you need and when? how do you attract 'A' players on a budget? If you’re hiring based solely on skills, or because someone’s likeable, that’s not a good sign. • Building a resilient and scalable culture: forget free food and bringing your dog to work (although they’re both cool to have). Your culture runs much deeper than that. It’s your startup’s immune system. • Managing employee performance, happiness and engagement: sure money helps, but you would be surprised how low it really ranks. • Job satisfaction: feel a knot in your stomach on Sunday nights? it could be the day old sushi talking, but it’s more likely that work is the reason. Maybe it’s an ongoing conflict with someone, or feeling like you or your work aren’t appreciated anymore. Or maybe you’ve simply outgrown the place. Whatever the reason, your physical and mental health are probably suffering as a result. It’s not worth it. Bottom line: working at, or on, a startup should be an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. I can help get you there. Let's talk.
