Having launched Scout in 2020, mid-pandemic, my role has quickly moved from one that involved being a hands-on Talent & People Consultant for up to 3 clients at a time, to setting the People & Operational foundations as CPO in 2021/2.

As Chief People & Operations Officer I've overseen our growth from 2 to 68 in under 2 years, putting in place everything across our EVP & Talent proposition, from Mission/Vision/Values, to Culture, Career Development, Compensation Framework, and everything in between, as well as setting us up for success operationally from a tooling and budgetary perspective, and leading on our foray in the US market too.

Last night was AMAZING! 🔥 Thank you DreamTeam! 

What an awesome meetup. No pitches or panels. Just great food, drinks & conversation with some of my favourite people people ❤️‍🔥 

Loads of familiar faces, and plenty of new ones too! 

It was awesome to get to meet Matt McFarlane, all the way over from Australia for one night only! But also to finally meet all the incredible folks at Dreamteam in-person (Shirley, Arnon, Roni, Shiri 🙌 )

And of course getting to see SO many folks from across our Slack community and team that we support day to day was as always special. 🖤 

The predictions pocketbook that the DreamTeam team printed was also very, very cool, and the polaroids were an awesome touch! 

Loved seeing everyone! 

Until next time 🫶

♾️ Open Org - Changing How Startup HR Teams Learn & Execute in the AI Age

Ok, I f*cked up just now... Apologies if you just tried to join our Onboarding webinar with Nadia & Rafael Guper 🙏 ... I'll explain why I'm an idiot...

We had an unusually high number of signups (~600) so decided to switch from our usual platform to Zoom to avoid issues with capacity and limits. 

Stupidly, I didn't check the limits on Zoom (#epicfail). I assumed they were higher. They were not. 

Thats on me. Im sorry if you tried to get in, and couldn't. 

I've replied to a few folks who emailed 🙏 

If you did try to join but couldn't I'm working on pulling together the recording an takeaways now so will share those asap with you all on here, and on email 🎁 

And if you're feeling particularly annoyed, please drop me a DM /email and vent. I will find a way to make it up to you 🙏 

Sorry for the epic fail. Will do better next time 🖤

HR aren't responsible for recognition ❌ 

It's on everyone. 

👉 Leaders
👉 Managers
👉 Peers
and yes, HR too. 

For me, HR set the foundations around recognition. 

But others are responsible for owning those 'moments that matter' day to day. 

I’m loving the open resources Huggg have just added to Openverse.fyi on this topic- you should check them out!! 👀🔥

Recognition Ownership Diagnostic: https://lnkd.in/e9-B3zsC

I love a Notion Diagnostic! 😍

Recognition Ownership Guide: https://lnkd.in/e7TC9Cqt

Very cool, and super useful for HR folks working out how to make recognition more of an org-wide reaponsiblity and practice. 

Awesome work Huggg  🔥 👏

Natt A.

Ever feel like culture is hard to articulate? manage? improve? 😫 

You're probably focusing on the emotional level. Not the operational one. 

Culture IS tangible

It's how we work. Not how we feel about work. 

There's a big difference. 

And if you want to manage culture in a more tangible way you need to take it beyond values. beyond emotions. beyond buzzwords. 

I had the joy of talking about this topic at the We hustle HR conference yesterday. 

Here's the takeaway doc, resources, deck and a little gift I shared with the folks there if anyone else is interested in this topic!

A couple of weeks ago I got to join Nelson Sivalingam, CEO of HowNow on the L&D Disrupt podcast, and I loved every second of our conversation 🔥 🎧 
Sneak peek, and full episode (& blog) below! 👇 

We talked:

✨ AI (Obvs)
🌱 Manager Development
🚮 Ripping up traditional L&D 
🪜 The end of Career Ladders as we know it
and more

I loved every minute and there's A LOT going on out there right now for people teams working out how to shape things like progression, learning, career frameworks etc. 

🎧 Full episode on Spotify here: https://lnkd.in/e_a_W8gk
✨ Blog post here: https://lnkd.in/e54579C4

Worth a watch/listen if you can! 🍿

There's been some OUTSTANDING resources shared by the HR community on Openverse.fyi recently... here's some of the latest & greatest you should know about:

🎁   Huggg recently shared their Notion-based recognition diagnostic & guide, two awesome resources well worth seeing if this is a topic on your radar right now. 

Diagnostic: https://lnkd.in/e9-B3zsC
Guide: https://lnkd.in/e7TC9Cqt

♾️ Marina Horner keeps bringing the gold to the HR community. Her latest share is a walkthrough on automation in PeopleOps. If you're unsure where to start here it's perfect. She explains how to map a process, identify dependencies, isolate one friction point, and fix it using existing tools.

View it here: https://lnkd.in/e2Pr_VKe

🧑‍💻 Pinpoint Applicant Tracking System shared their handy guide to selecting the right ATS, including how to identify what requirements you actually have, and how to ask the right questions in demos. I see a LOT of people & talent teams getting this decision wrong- this is worthy of a peek 

Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eFi-K3Z9

🤖 The ever amazing Deb Haas ✨ shared her HR Automation Advisor, Providing diagnostic guidance to determine if your challenge needs process redesign, automation, or AI. Very cool. Like Marina above, well worth a look if you are stumbling here! 

Find it here: https://lnkd.in/eMzYwUYt

Thank you to ALL of you folks for continuing to build & share in the open for the HR Community. 

We need more of you! Who's got something for Openverse.fyi?

There's so much advice about how People teams should work. 

I'm more interested in what they are actually doing: the tools, fails, experiments and rituals that don't usually get talked about 🔍

In recent weeks Ive spoken to Thomas Forstner & Katie Burke! Next up...

Andy Turnbull, Head of People Services at Bolt 👇

💡 Favourite new tool?
I have been really impressed with BrightHire. Searchable interview recordings help hiring managers improve consistency, stick to competencies and create a better candidate experience.

I am also excited about automation tools:
 • Zapier and Make for HR and personal workflows
 • n8n for cross-functional automation

🧰 People Team Tool Stack
Workday, Greenhouse Software, Lattice, Docebo, One Model, Carta, Box, Enboarder, ReloTalent, Atlassian, and heavy use of Make, Zapier and n8n for automation.

💥 Last epic fail?
Buying new tech that did not work the way we needed. We ended up with manual workarounds while pushing vendors for fixes.

Lesson learned: do not rely on demos or light testing. Pilot tools in real conditions before committing.

🤖 Most useful thing built with AI or automation?
The biggest wins still come from automation. We are on track to reduce workload by 5 percent this year and aim for 10 percent in 2026. These improvements compound over time and create real, sustainable impact.

🪩 Most impactful People Team ritual?
Taking quarterly or bi-annual time out to review where we are versus our north star KPIs. It forces us to zoom out, recalibrate and reconnect as a team. It is amazing what you can accomplish in a focused few days.

🧭 What are you feeling stuck on right now?
I am not stuck on anything major. I have a fantastic team and if option A does not work, there is always B to Z 😄

A common challenge I discuss with peers is collaborating with Legal and Privacy teams on automation. People Ops works with the most sensitive data in the company, so we often face extra scrutiny and slower access to the tools other teams already use.

🔥 Advice for first-time Heads of People?
There has never been a more exciting time to be in People. The most forward-thinking leaders are stepping into a combined People and AI Transformation role.

People leaders influence who joins, how talent grows, which skills matter and what work is augmented by AI. That puts them in a unique position to lead company-wide transformation. If you are curious about this space, lean in. It is a career-defining opportunity.

Loving some of these shares, thank you Andy! 

Who should I speak to next? 🙋

Big few days ahead for Open Org events! If you haven't signed up to some of these yet, this is your last chance...

📅 Tomorrow (Weds 26th) - Onboarding in the AI Age with Rafael Guper & Nadia Vatalidis (she/her/hers) - We have over 500 signups for this! 🔥 
🔗 https://luma.com/jzd7smsy

📅 Tomorrow (Weds 26th) - Campfire Q&A with Naomi Trickey from Mews. This is specifically for Open Org Slack Community members. If you haven't signed up yet, get on it! 
🔗 https://luma.com/ynfcy26a
✨ P.s. if you're not in the community, apply here: www.openorg.fyi/community

📅 Thu 27th- Remaining Human in the AI Age: Why Recognition & Rituals are more vital than ever with Alys Peart, James Hems BEM and Lewis Quick - We have over 150 signups for this too! 🔥 
🔗 https://luma.com/lz3amfvk

📅 Thu 27th - I'm excited to be co-hosting a live demo of hackajob with the incredible Jessie Schofer from Stakkd! thank you for inviting me along! I love a good demo! You can register and join here: https://lnkd.in/e3nVDqYb

Now... I'm working on our 2026 webinars & events - What topics do you want to hear about? tell me! 👇

My last Q&A post with Thomas Forstner blew up 🔥 - so here's another, with Katie Burke, CPO at Harvey (+ ex CPO at HubSpot) which I think you'll love! Enjoy... 🍿 

---------------------------

💡 Favourite new tool?
I've been trying Ideogram and Gamma to play with creating imagery and presentations with speed without sacrificing quality; pretty cool to see slides created from raw notes in just a few seconds, and as someone who takes a while to create decks, I love having the help.

💥 Last epic fail?
 I'll give you two, the list is long.
1️⃣ Not taking the time to gather and deliver context on a key announcement. When you know in your gut you're passing on confusion, it's your obligation as a leader to speak up.

2️⃣ Not hiring fast enough. In hyper-growth, hiring too slow can be just as risky as hiring too fast.

🤖 Most useful thing your team has built with AI?
Custom GPTs for drafting leader communications tailored perfectly to each exec’s voice. Using them has saved our marketing team a considerable amount of time and I think can also be really useful for HRBP teams crafting internal messaging for leaders they support.

🪩 Most impactful People Team ritual?
At our monthly meetings, we ask new hires to share their first impressions of Harvey. When you’re growing fast, it’s critical not just to recruit people but to create space for them to speak and help us learn what’s working.

🧭 What are you feeling stuck on right now?
Omissions. As leaders we talk a lot about what needs to get done, but it’s just as important to be clear about what doesn’t. I need to give my team more clarity on what’s okay to deprioritise so they can focus where it really matters.

🔥 Advice for first-time Heads of People?
 Don't be the "no" police. Your job is to limit friction, increase business velocity, and reduce risk. Find ways to enable great work, or people will go around you.

-----------------------------

So much to love here 👆 and super interesting to see how other teams are using AI & GPTs too! 

Who should I ask next? 👀

"I wish this existed 5 years ago!" - HR Leader

👆 I've been lucky enough to hear this from a lot of folks about Open Org over the past 2 years 🖤. 

We didn't exist 5 years ago... but we do now 🙂, so here's a refresh on what we're doing to help startup HR teams to thrive right now....

🎟️ The Content Pass; guided HR playbooks, and effortless AI search across our 1000+ resources, as well as an HR tech marketplace. It's paid, but incredibly accessible at £120/year. You can try it for free first too :) - https://lnkd.in/eVKsZU5Y

🎯 Advise & Build; Not promoted heavily, but we work at any given time with ~10 people teams on their people & culture goals & roadmap as a sparring partner & external sounding board, but also as an execution partner- building, drafting, reviewing wherever you need us. https://lnkd.in/eTqwHprP

🌐 Open Resources; And of course, we continue to curate & create 1000's of templates, resources, guides to help continue fuelling this open-source HR movement. You can find what you need by starting here: www.openorg.fyi/resources 

No, we didnt exist 5 years ago, but over the past 2 years we've evolved a lot, and we will continue doing what we can to give startup HR the support & resources they always deserved but never had 

🖤

📅  HR folks, save the date! On Nov 26th I'm delighted to be hosting a session with Nadia Vatalidis (she/her/hers) & Rafael Guper on how to nail onboarding in the AI Age ✨  - Wanna join? Details below:

Onboarding is a constant source of friction & frustration for people teams.

​Something that should in theory be easy to get right seems to feel incredibly hard, and yet it's absolutely pivotal as a moment that matters, and also as an opportunity to set people up for success.

Join us at 12pm UK time on Nov 26th to hear more about how AI is changing onboarding, both from an opportunity and threat perspective, but also what people teams could & should be thinking about when looking at their own onboarding processes.

Gonna be fun! You can register here: https://luma.com/jzd7smsy

3 Design Principles People Teams Should Steal From Product Teams

The glow up that DreamTeam have just applied to their platform is 🔥 😍 
It's stunning, easy to use, and just the start apparently 👀 Check it out below 👇

🎨 The colours
🔤 The fonts
✨ The clean menu's
💻 The OS-style interface 

It feels like you're finally playing with a piece of tech that actually belongs in today's world... rather than one that was built in the 90's and has barely been touched since. 

And this is just the start from what I hear .... ✨ 

This was the vision the folks at DreamTeam showed me when I first met them and it's what got me so excited about what they wanted to build. To see it coming to life now is genuinely very cool. 

Well done folks 👏 

If you're looking for a new HRIS check out the video below and give them a shout- well worth exploring! 🔍

Metaview you have nailed it! (again!) 🔥 👏 They've launched their new AI sourcing agent, and it looks very, very cool 🤘 . What I love:

✨ Makes sourcing feel seriously easy
✨ UX / UI is 🔥 
✨ It's very clever, the results were genuinely relevant 

I went from vague conversational human brief to a shortlist of 5-10 interesting profiles in under 5 mins ⏱️ 

If you're in Talent Acquisition & Hiring, or a People Leader who owns that, you should check it out. And if you already know Metaview you will know how awesome their products are. 🤘 

FYI, added bonus, you'll see on their site if you sign up before end of November they will double your paid seats for 6 months 👌 

🍿 Video below of me getting stuck in 

And go have a play for yourself, link is in comments! 👇

HR Folks! Another date for your diary! 📅 

On Thu 27th Nov at 12.30pm UK I'll be diving into how we keep recognition and rituals as human as possible in this increasingly AI dominated world! ✨ 

Delighted to be joined by Alys Peart (Octopus Electric Vehicles), James Hems BEM (Bluewave Technology) and Lewis Quick (Huggg) on what I know is a really top of mind concern for a lot of HR teams right now. 

AI presents a lot of opportunities, but also some threats to loss of connection and human touch. Can't wait to hear more about how these folks are tackling that! 

Come join us if you can!

🎄 HR folks, what are you putting on your Christmas wish list? 🎅 

I'll start us off 👇:

⏱️  Time
🎟️  Access to the best, AI-powered HR knowledge base in the world, effortlessly finding you the resources you need in seconds, saving you hours and helping you accelerate your work and execute more modern people practices?

🎁 Here's what's inside:

📒 A Treasure trove of HR playbooks & how-to guides covering some of the most challenging and common people initiatives and problems we see teams face. All battle-tested, and broken down step by step.

You can play around with it here first, for free by heading to Open Org.fyi 

Have a play, and then tell your CEO what they need to buy you for Xmas 🎁

Traditional manager training does. not. work. ❌ 

But Communities of Practice do ✅ 

I've been that Founder & People Leader, sending Managers on a crash course. 

It's money down the drain 💸 

What works better? 

👉 Building self-sustaining communities of managers within your org. 

Here's how, in a nutshell 🥜...

1. Recognise the need
💡 Find the biggest pain points, bring them to live with data & story-telling and get the sponsorship & excitement you need to kick off 

2. Mobilise
⏩ Share a memo, gather questions, arrange a kick-off call 

3. Establish
🎯 Run your first session. Either build a charter & establish ways of working or agree & align on what your first win will be 

4. Sustain
🌱 Support on content & accountability loops 

If you don't believe traditional manager training works you will love the Community of Practice Model 🖤 

We've built our own playbook guiding you step-by-step on how to do this end-to-end. If you have our Content Pass you can access it as one of the 14+ playbooks on www.openorg.fyi ✨ 

If you don't have the content pass, go grab one! You can try it out for free first here: https://lnkd.in/eVKsZU5Y
