People Power - How to create experiences people love-
summary
Envato describes using surveys (Culture Amp, Great Place to Work, a Google form), HR tools (Bamboo HR, Small Improvements), and anonymous feedback to stop guessing and start specific changes: publishing executive presentations to Slack, removing bonus schemes in favor of recognition, adopting full Flex remote work, and training managers to map autonomy, mastery, purpose. Emphasis is on measurable people practices: broader local decision parameters so teams choose tools and processes, hiring for squad fit not speed, and making trust the default to increase engagement and retention.
