“Why should I constrain myself with Seattle’s geographic region when I can get talent throughout the world. Yes, it’s more challenging and I have to do more processes and technology to facilitate, but I believe fundamentally that there’s more talent that I can access and that outweighs having geographic proximity to the office.”
S01E07 of the Rethink Culture podcast features David Niu, a serial entrepreneur, who founded NetConversions, BuddyTV and TINYpulse, all of which were acquired by publicly traded companies.
For David culture is the norms and expectations “when no one’s looking”, and something he’s become increasingly intentfull with. His 3rd company, TINYPulse, measures employee engagement, and works with tons of culture data. David talks about some of the surprising findings from that work, for example how the single metric that correlates the most with employee happiness is how transparent management is.
David shares many culture design tips. He explains how he front-loads his company values in the job description and interview process to hire for a culture fit. He also talks about some of his favourite culture programs - like the 1% pledge, Cheers for Peers, employee nominated awards with oscar statuettes and customer parties with tuxes and wigs!

What is Rethink Culture?
Rethink Culture is the podcast that shines the spotlight on the leaders who are rethinking workplace culture. Virtually all of the business leaders who make headlines today do so because of their company performance. Yet, the people and the culture of a company is at least as important as its performance. It's time that we shine the spotlight on the leaders who are rethinking workplace culture and are putting people and culture at the forefront.
