Do larger companies need to change their company culture to survive?
Happy Friday! Welcome to #TalentAgnostic, Gigstart's weekly newsletter where we bring together experts from across the technology sector to share advice on how to build an enduring company and culture. Let's dive into this week's top tips:
We've seen a shift recently with fewer tech companies providing equity and stock options as part of their compensation package so we were curious to see if this is industry wide:
Based on our research less than 40% of business offer any sort of equity or stock options to entice top talent. This could be because founders and investors are looking to keep more control of their companies in more challenging conditions, especially with many of them facing the need to raise more capital to plug short-term cash-flow issues.
Will we see more companies starting to offer equity again as we enter the new financial year?
We'd love to hear your thoughts.
Last week I sat down with Marco Consolaro ,Co-Founder of Alcor Academy and Co-Author of Agile Technical Practices. An expert in software delivery, Marco has experience from both the perspective of an engineer in early stage startups (having joined one of Italy's biggest tech success stories Yoox as one of their first engineers before they were aquired by Net-a-Porter) and and as a founder. His company, Alcor Academy, helps CTOs and Tech leaders to promote a culture of excellence by taking a socio-technical approach to training their software engineering teams.
