In today’s episode, we are joined by Tom Hunt who once was working as Head of marketing for B2B SaaS business to owning his very own agency. Tom and I shared a lot of similar things. We do not only run our own podcast channels but we also love talking about recruitment and management. 
 
Tom and I covered topics around how one-to-one meetings create an impact on your employees’ performance. Speaking of performance, we also talked about when is a performance bonus necessary for your organization and how it is important to look at it in the context of your organization’s goals and financial standing. 

And since we were talking about our businesses, we were also talking about how do we identify the right person. Most of the time in recruitment, you’re able to identify a great bunch of people for a business need but it’s not always that you’re able to identify the right person for the right seat. There are so many interesting points for you. Tune in, learn and take notes for yourself. Surely, you’ll not be empty-handed after listening!

  • How one-to-one meetings make people management better; 
  • How effective recruitment helps businesses financially; 
  • How you can teach your performers the most important management skill; and 
  • Why performance bonuses are not always a good external motivator for employees
