If you’re curious about how to improve your workplace culture, don’t miss this fantastic masterclass in everything about people and culture as we talk today with Anouk Agussol, founder and CEO of Unleashed. 

“I'm a big believer in just going for it. You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”

Unleashed is not your average consultancy. In the four years since its foundation, Anouk and her team have worked with over 80 high growth startups, scale ups, VCs and accelerators across a huge variety of sectors in the UK and Europe, supporting them on all things people, culture and leadership. 

“Our mission is we want to enable young successful startups to scale well, and to create amazing work lives for the individuals that work within those businesses.”

In this episode, you'll learn how you can make your whole company vested in people matters as you scale up, why founders can't delegate culture to anyone else in the organisation, what the best leaders are doing to keep the magical impact of vulnerability on their team's motivation, why you should 10X your onboarding process, decrease asynchronous work and update your parental leave policies.

“I think parental leave policies in the UK are inherently biassed. And they are part of problems that we see within society, around gender imbalance at home and in the workplace as well.”
