As your startup or scaleup surges forward, one thing becomes abundantly clear: growth isn’t just about expanding your customer base or increasing revenue. It’s also about nurturing the leaders who will drive your vision forward. Here’s why creating leaders within your organisation is crucial as you scale: 💥 Sustainable Growth: Leaders inspire and guide teams through the complexities of scaling. By developing internal leaders, you ensure that your growth is sustainable and that your team is prepared to handle evolving challenges. 💡 Enhanced Innovation: Empowered leaders bring fresh ideas and innovative solutions. They’re not just executing tasks - they’re thinking ahead, spotting opportunities, and driving creative strategies that keep your company at the cutting edge. 💪 Organisational Resilience: As your company grows, so do the pressures and uncertainties. Strong leaders are essential for maintaining morale, navigating change, and ensuring that your organisation remains resilient in the face of obstacles. 👯 Talent Retention: Investing in leadership development shows your team that you’re committed to their growth. This investment helps retain top talent and fosters a culture where employees feel valued and motivated. Leadership is not just a role - it's a driving force behind your organisation’s success. Our tailored leadership development programs are designed to cultivate the leaders who will shape your future. Let’s ensure that as you scale, your leadership is scaling too. 🚀 Ready to build the leaders of tomorrow?

A great summary from Jackie Denham at Founders Law on the upcoming employment rights changes in the UK... interesting times ahead!

We are still buzzing from the FF Europe x Left Lane Fast Growth Summit in Berlin last week, where Tracy Davies and Franzi Gossmann from our European team joined with Series A+ CEOs, investors, and founders to explore the next major advancements in the rapidly evolving European tech space 🚀 Our highlights: 🔹 Joining a roundtable with Szymon Sypniewicz (Ramp) & Jorge Lluch (Abacum) to explore financial innovation and scaling products and services in the current global financial ecosystem 🔹 Discussing how to develop high-performing engineering teams as you scale with Vikas Gupta (Tier), Gaurav Agarwal (GetYourGuide), and Eric Goldstein (Goodwin) 🔹 Hearing from Daniel Khachab (Choco), Hovhannes Avoyan (Picsart), and Elisabeth L'Orange (Oxolo) on the necessity for companies to not just adopt AI but to centre their strategies around it, to remain relevant in a competitive tech landscape. 🔹 And as always, the pitches from the Rising Stars and Disruptors, including Laine Bruzek (Evvy) and Felicia von Redum (Ovum Care). Berlin made an amazing backdrop as a critical hub propelling Europe’s fast-growing tech ecosystem! It was great to see what's happening in this city and beyond.... 🇩🇪 #FoundersHR #FFEurope #LeftLane #FoundersForum #Berlin #Tech #Innovation #Scaleups #Startups #WhereTheFutureUnfolds Carolyn Dawson

Like our colleagues at Founders Law, we are very intrigued to see what the new government will do with regard to the changes to unfair dismissal requirements that they have promised, and how it affects the process during probation. Watch this space!

As September comes to a close, we’re taking a moment at Founders HR to reflect on what an incredible month it’s been! We’ve had the privilege of connecting with a diverse group of founders at various Founders Forum Group and Tech Nation events. Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been up to... 💳 It all started with the inaugural CFO Forum, engaging with some of the UK’s brightest CFOs to discuss all things finance within the startup ecosystem. 🚀 Then it was off to Tech Nation's launch of their next #FutureFifty cohort at Daylesford Organic in the Cotswolds, where our Founder Tracy Davies co-hosted a roundtable on "Scaling Your Culture as You Grow" (and we even got to witness Richard Browning take flight!). 📈 Next, we headed to the #Upscale event at The Century Club in Soho to meet the latest cohort of the UK’s most promising startups. This program is tailored for ambitious founders and their leadership teams, with a strong focus on gearing up for Series B investment - the room was buzzing! 🎉 We were excited to join Tech Nation's #Creo cohort at the Royal College of Surgeons, celebrating disabled founders and innovators working in the disability space. 🇬🇧 At the #GovTech reception in Mayfair, we marked a significant moment for the public and private sectors' collaboration through tech, where Founders Forum Group also announced the relaunch of The GovTech Summit in partnership with PUBLIC. 💸 And finally, we saw the future of venture capital take shape at the official launch of the new Founders Forum Group VC Summit, held at the iconic Christie’s London. What a month!  If we missed you at the event please email - we'd love to chat - and we look forward to seeing many of you at Founders Forum Europe in Berlin in October!

It was great to be at #futurefifty last week to host the roundtable on Scaling Culture as you grow your organisation! Thanks for the invitation, Tech Nation 🇬🇧

From 26 October 2024, employers must proactively take “reasonable steps” to prevent the sexual harassment of their staff at work. The new duty under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 is a seismic change in UK discrimination law. It seeks to put strict obligations on employers to prevent sexual harassment from taking place. The duty requires employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment against its workers by other workers. It is also “preventative” which means that employers should not wait for an incident to occur before taking action. You must take active, reasonable steps which requires anticipating potential incidents, reviewing policies and educating staff, identifying risk areas including review of past incidents and looking at investigative, reporting and recording processes as well as ensuring that perpetrators are dealt with robustly. Founders HR can help to ensure you are compliant with these new obligations! Reach out today for a confidential discussion.
