Your best asset? Your team!
As an entrepreneur, building the best team ever is key so let’s talk about Culture & Hiring with two outstanding guests:
- Elizabeth Hall, VP of People at Trello.
At Trello, about half of the employees work from their New York City office, with the other half working remotely. To traditional companies, remote work is an unfamiliar structure and Elizabeth will share with us why and how they bring people in many locations and timezones together on the same projects and communicate effectively? And more importantly, how at Trello they maintain a cohesive company culture when employees are distributed across many locations?
- Adrien Falcon, General Manager France at Deliveroo.
Launched in France 13 months ago, the French Deliveroo team counts about 100 employees and keep welcoming on average 2 new employees each week! Adrien will share with us how they keep building a strong culture while they grow exponentially
10. It Takes Work
• Trello Together
• Mr. Rogers
• Build in Water Cooler Moments
• Onboarding (with Trello)
• Changed our Interview Process (all virtual)

11. …But It’s Worth It
• Company culture evolves organically to one that
encourages inclusion of all cultures and people
• Which leads to a more diverse company
• You become an expert communicator
• Faster growth (recruiting is easier, casting a wider
net)
• Better User Representation Internally
13. • Work / Life Balance
• Treat People as Well & Equally as Possible
• Don’t Do Nothing
Our Culture Is Our People
14. Six Take-Aways
• Buy in from everyone in the company
• Policies and tools that support the system
• Constant evaluation and check-ins
• At least one all-company retreat a year
• An onboarding process that is functional regardless of
location
• Invest in your People team
