The Culture Ops Podcast
Every business has a culture that affects how it performs. Culture isn’t optional.
How you deal with the day-to-day people challenges in the workplace has a massive effect on that culture.
Building a great culture is difficult. So we’re bringing together founders, CEOs, COOs, Heads of People & Heads of HR to share their honest experiences, their struggles and their learnings.
At the end of each episode, you will have something to take away and implement with your team.
