About this event

Company culture is everything. It sets the direction and tone of a company. It differentiates good companies from great companies. It can attract great and not so great employees. Just take a look at Netflix’s culture with its manifesto “People Over Process”. Instead of office perks like sushi lunches and great gyms, its priority is on building a team in pursuit of ambitious common goals.

In the startup world, founders who think about company culture from the get-go puts their startup in a better position to set their behaviour, determine their belief system, attract employees who align with their values, and ultimately grow their business. That’s exactly what Benjamin Croc, Co-Founder and CEO of BrioHR set out to do first.

At Bawatana’s upcoming Coffee & Founders session, he’ll share:

  1. BrioHR's company culture from day zero until today
  2. His considerations when setting company culture
  3. Tools he used to help with the process
  4. His personal discoveries as a founder spearheading company culture
  5. His pointers for first-time founders on the most valuable skills to look out for when making their first 10 hires, and how to keep employees engaged

This event is free to attend. Limited slots available. Coffee or tea is on us.
