Why People Team?

Many people cringe when they hear HR (or HR consulting) – a term that embodies punitive, reactive, and a outdated adversarial approach to business and employees.

So why People & Culture? The People & Culture term focuses on high-caliber talent as an enabler of the business. It focuses on employing a reach, recruit, and retain strategy – to attract & hire great people, then enable them with a proactive mindset, current processes & practices, and modern technology. 

Right-sizing systems

Choosing software and systems to run your business can be tricky. Software companies have become skilled in targeting low-experience or non-subject matter experts, use paid reviews.  It’s easy to see why early stage companies change internal bus ops software frequently. 

We assess & implement for better feature fit, intuitive UX, low overhead, and scalability. We know the market, what terms & conditions you choose watch out for, and know the pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Our take on culture

Culture is not a ping pong table and a beer fridge. And it’s more than values taglines on a webpage. It’s principles & philosophies – demonstrated in practice.

Practices that can be seen and felt by your team include how you: recruit & compensate, onboard & ramp, communicate & meeting norms, tools & processes, decision-making, how you lead (and prepare leaders), transparency & trust, seeking & sharing feedback, and more. It’s not one silver bullet, but rather many arrows.

Fixing Finance

Lean finance support means knowing what & when to outsource, understanding specializations, what to automate, and managing task-saturation on leaders not ready for full time hires. Often early-stage companies wildly overspend on redundant support, are dangerously reliant on a google search, or hire bloated teams.

The perfect blend is rare: strategic experience, proficiency in current systems, strong ability in process design & tactical execution. But we’ve got it.
