On this episode of the Traction podcast, host Lloyed Lobo of Boast.AI welcomes Mandy Sebel, operating partner, people and talent at Radian Capital and former chief people officer at UiPath. Mandy has spent many years in the people and culture space, so we talked about everything from recruiting to onboarding to building a culture that fosters high retention.

Mandy believes that early-stage companies should bring in a leader of people and culture as soon as they can afford it. It is a critical role because attracting and retaining top talent in any organization is the number one key to success.

It is important to have a strong sense of your company’s values and mission, and it is equally important to clearly communicate with future and current employees what those values are. This gets everyone in the organization pulling the rope in the same direction, which leads to success for both the individuals and the company as a whole.

Having people understand this comes through clarity, and clarity comes from repetition. If you want a successful organization, no matter your stage or size, culture and communication are vital.
