"When scouting new talent or creating opportunities, we meticulously scope roles and expectations. Yet, internally, we often neglect to clarify what employees need for growth and success. Whether through formal frameworks or regular manager discussions, empower employees to envision their future within your organization." - Rachel Kleban, VP of People at OpenPhone and former executive Airbnb and VSCO. REPLACING AN EMPLOYEE CAN COST UP TO 200% OF THEIR ANNUAL SALARY. Neglecting talent development in startups can be a costly oversight. Internal talent often remains underutilized, despite its potential to drive growth and foster a thriving company culture. Here’s why investing in your team from within isn’t just smart—it’s essential for long-term success. Learn how nurturing internal talent can save costs and elevate your startup’s performance. https://lnkd.in/gbZrZQZa

Don't let toxicity tank your team morale! Hoping to "work it out" with a culturally incompatible hire can lead to major issues down the road. Toxicity spreads faster than a viral meme, undermining team morale and productivity. When signs of toxicity emerge, swift action is crucial. It's all about having those direct conversations, setting clear expectations, and, if needed, hitting the eject button on The Mishire to protect your team's overall health.

"An important first step to minimize implicit bias is to understand your own unconscious bias", advised Caralyn Cooley, former Amazon and Jet.com executive, and current EVP, Chief People Officer at Bowery Farming. Unconscious biases can influence hiring decisions, leading to unintended discrimination, exclusionary practices, and mis-hires. Harvard Business Review research found that candidates with "white-sounding" names are 50% more likely to receive interview callbacks than those with "black-sounding" names. The good news: we can mitigate bias with structured hiring processes to minimize subjective judgments and foster inclusivity, for example anonymizing resumes, diversifying interview panels, and providing diversity training.
