Human Resources Leader | Passionate about people, culture + snacks!

Fun Fact: LesserEvil Brand Snack Co.'s headcount just POPped to over 300 professional snackers—100 new positions in less than 18 months! 🍿✨ As we celebrate this milestone, I’m curious to hear from others who have successfully navigated rapid growth. What strategies have you found effective in maintaining a positive company culture? At LesserEvil, we are hyper focused on preserving our playful culture, promoting from within (especially those who embody our core values), and keeping an eye on the small details. What’s worked for you? #companyculture #headcountgrowth #manufacturing

Such a great and important question as you scale. You can’t lose sight of the culture. Ensure you are hiring for competencies plus cuture/values fit. One suggestion is to share examples of values in action to continually keep them top of mind for all employees.
