The Strain of Rapid Growth

Emily Christmas, Carrington West’s HR Person of the Year, was tasked with the unenviable responsibility of maintaining the company’s excellent culture during a phase of rapid expansion. While the growth was exhilarating, it stretched the team thin and put a strain on trying to keep the company culture and identity the same. The personal connection from the CEO, once a hallmark of their culture, was beginning to fray. 

Their annual surveys, while well-intentioned, felt like relics, failing to capture the real-time pulse of her team. James Fernandes, the CEO, previously known for his hands-on approach, was now juggling a multitude of responsibilities, leaving less time for individual interactions. Emily knew she needed a solution that would allow her to genuinely understand her staff’s needs without relying solely on infrequent, limited data. She worried about the growing disconnect between leadership and the team.

Maintaining a Real Connection

Emily’s vision extended beyond simply managing HR; she aimed to revolutionise it. She set her sights on achieving Platinum Investors in People, a prestigious recognition that demanded more than just good intentions – it required robust, data-driven evidence. 

She envisioned a company where every employee felt valued and heard, a place where growth didn’t compromise personal connections. She needed a system that could bridge the gap, enabling her to understand her team’s needs without needing to be omnipresent. She needed a system that could adapt in real-time, digging into questions and finding out what was and wasn’t working for people without manual input. She knew, with the right tools, she could prove the direct correlation between employee engagement and business success.
