Episode 6: On tech start-ups, people-centric leadership, and the importance of remote working with Alex Hattingh, Chief People Officer @ Employment Hero

When Work Isn't Work: Episode 6

My guest today is the incredible Alex Hattingh, Chief People Officer of Employment Heroes, and a passionate advocate of people-first leadership and the future of remote working. In this conversation, Alex and I talked about how happy employees are the key to a successful and thriving workplace, and the value of following a purpose-led career.

Alex and Employment Hero have inspired all of us here at Lotus from the beginning of their journey. Watching them go from a start up to one of Australia’s fastest growing tech companies and, more recently, one of the few unicorns in the country has been incredible to watch. And with Alex leading the charge on all things people and culture for the business, you can see why they have done so well! Thanks for joining us Alex and we hope you all enjoy!
