Ready to Transform Your Leadership?

Let's recondition your workplace so it actually works for people.

Follow us on the gram!

8 people → 40 people. Magic culture → strangers working together. 😬

At 8 people: 
✨ Everyone knew everyone 
✨ Organic trust 
✨ Conflicts = solved over lunch 
✨ Values = LIVED daily

At 40 people: 
📉 New hires didn’t know the stories 
📉 Inside jokes fell flat 
📉 The vibe got diluted 
📉 “We’re family” turned weird

They assumed culture would just... copy itself. NOPE.

We helped them build ARCHITECTURE: 
→ Identify real values (not poster values) 
→ Train managers as culture carriers 
→ Onboard with history, not just process 
→ Create scalable rituals

Result? 40 people who actually FEEL connected. ⚡
Culture at scale = intentional design, not hope.

#CultureAtScale #ScalingCulture #StartupCulture #CompanyCulture #OrganizationalGrowth #FounderChallenges #TeamCultureBest hire ever. Gone in 90 days. 😭

Perfect resume. Great interviews. Culture fit.

But Day 1? 
❌ No onboarding 
❌ Team too busy to train her
❌ Manager said “figure it out” 
❌ Couldn’t ask questions safely

Day 30: Felt incompetent → Day  60: Felt invisible → Day 90: GONE
This wasn’t a hiring fail. It was an INTEGRATION fail.
They were ready to recruit. Not ready to RECEIVE.

We built what actually keeps talent: 
✓ Structured onboarding (The Essentialist)
✓ 30/60/90 roadmaps
✓ Manager training 
✓ Safe question-asking systems

Next hire? STAYED. And the next. And the next. ⚡
Great hiring means nothing without great receiving.
How ready is YOUR team to integrate the next hire? 👇

#OnboardingFails #TalentRetention #TalentByZIA #NewHireExperience #HRTips #PeopleOps #EmployeeRetention #HiringStrategy #StartupHR #TeamBuilding #Onboarding #WorkCultureHired 12 people in 6 months. Lost 9 in the next 6.

Ouch. 😬

They needed people FAST. So they hired fast.
But here’s what they forgot: hiring isn’t just recruiting. It’s RECEIVING.

New people walked into chaos: 
❌ No onboarding 
❌ Unclear expectations
❌ Founder too overwhelmed to connect 
❌ Team too stretched to help

They weren’t ready to integrate the talent they desperately needed.
We helped them pause, build systems, and create “reception capacity.”

Next 6 months? 8 hires, 8 stayed. ✨
