People Chapter
Learn how to set startups up for success through people and culture, from the ground up.
Why people?
People and culture form the bedrock of startups’ success; billion-dollar businesses don’t get built overnight and they don’t get built by one person. At Folklore, we recognise the catalytic power of teams and want to help startups harness it for success. We also know that traditional HR models don’t easily translate into the high-growth, fast-paced nature of startups that are building their teams from scratch.
We built this course for the next generation of people experience professionals who understand that startups’ teams are just as important as customers. They are able to manoeuvre through the full remit of the employee experience from being a talent magnet to nurturing the environment that enables people to reach their potential and scaling the organisation for hyper growth.
What you'll get
Selected applicants will form each cohort of the program, which is run by some of the best people experience professionals in the world. You will get exclusive access to curated curriculum and opportunities that don’t stop when the course ends. In addition to your cohort of lifelong friends, cheerleaders and advocates, you’ll get access to a wider growing community to help you launch into the next chapter of your career – from day one of the course to beyond.
