#People&Culture Stories – Fireside edition: “Admin Pains and Optimal Operations”
One of the 11 most common reasons why startups fail: they underestimate team management. Many founders think once they hire someone for their people administration, the thing will run itself and they never need to think about day to day operations ever again. This is a big illusion. And one that can become costly if the structure and quality of your people administration and operations are not at the needed level. Do you want to how to manage staying away from this, and actively build a stable foundation for your people function? Then come to this interactive session and learn from a real-life story. Limited to 15 seats!

And of course: you get the chance to ask all your burning questions about startup life, the founding process and anything else you are curious about!
The event takes place at the Technopark Winterthur in the conference hall, followed by an apéro at the Technopark Bistro.
