On this episode we’re joined by Amy Bakay, founder of HR NOLA. HR NOLA is a human resources consulting business that offers both onsite and remote HR services. Diving right into the topic of HR is the perfect opportunity to circle back on and unpack an important component of strategic planning: the people on your team.
Amy identified a need among startups as well as small and mid-size businesses to have access to experienced HR professionals on whatever basis meets their needs, and this is how HR NOLA came to be. Their primary goal is to provide strategic HR consulting as well as outsourcing solutions.
Establishing a healthy, brand-aligned company culture is important for success. It’s the character and personality of your business, and it goes a long way in dictating the behaviors and attitudes of your team. As they say at HR NOLA, compliance in culture starts with the first hire.
It’s the whole person who shows up at work—their mind, their heart, and whatever is in their briefcase. If you know precisely who you’re looking for, you will choose people who are a great influence on your business (and vice-versa). Your HR decisions are going to be as unique as your business. Your policies and programs should be created for how they work in your environment.
Candid feedback on your company culture is crucial. You have to know where your people are at so you can meet them there. Creating a sense of belonging and a place where people feel safe is of the utmost importance in today’s workplace cultures. Employees prioritize working in a place where they can belong and be themselves.
