Hi everyone, I'm Matt.
After a decade working in and leading startup People Ops teams, I now help them build clear, fair and competitive pay practices through my business FNDN (Foundation).
I'm truly excited to be part of In Good Company because I know you're all fighting the same battles around finding, keeping and motivating great people. I also know a bit about the pressures your people team faces, with challenges like the remit getting broader and the resources being harder to come by.
You can expect to hear from me about real solutions for:
• Building equity frameworks that actually retain your top performers (not just look good on paper)
• Creating compensation philosophies that support your growth strategy instead of fighting it
• Stopping the endless cycle of losing candidates to "better" offers
• Designing job architecture and performance frameworks that scale with you
• Using your People practices to reinforce culture instead of accidentally undermining it
I'm looking forward to learning from you and your stories as much as sharing mine.
I'll leave you with this to get the conversations flowing: How have you seen incentives shape the culture of a startup, for better or worse?
