Launch Pads: Cultivating Company Culture from Day 1
summary
Describes concrete changes at SparkFabrik: a company Playbook and welcome kit, a lightweight HR platform that assigns tasks and automated feedback cycles, a shift-left hiring flow with synchronous or asynchronous challenges, a curated 40 hours training bundle for onboarding, and metrics — doubling headcount from 26 to 55 and handling 500 applications last year. Claims retention and early-care satisfaction improve, notes work remaining: clearer delegation, a rewritten performance assessment due by March/April, and cultural drift under full-remote work.
