Through making sure our people receive regular face time, with me, my co-founder Stéphane, their managers, and other team members we’ve witnessed a huge boost in our team’s happiness levels. The primary reason for this transition for us has been for the benefit of our culture. As we have grown as a business though we have developed our London HQ and transitioned to a hybrid way of working, splitting our time between a couple of days in the office and a few days working remotely a week. Hybrid working #Ĭonduktor was born slap bang in the middle of Covid, where remote working had to be the norm. But as a Series A start-up, still early on its journey, what can we do better to help our employees achieve more work-life balance? Here I’d like to share some of the small steps we’ve taken to improve this at Conduktor and the impact it's had on our team. I see a lot of writing on this topic, particularly from larger companies with the cash to splash on well-being initiatives. They are the life force of the company, and making sure they are happy and able to do their best work is crucial. And ultimately, the success of a start-up comes down to its people. Simultaneously it’s also a thrill of a ride, as you build from scratch, watch your vision materialise, and work with incredible people whose careers accelerate at a speed unlikely to be seen at larger businesses. Instead, it can mean context-switching multiple times a day, working to strict deadlines, and seeing the passion to bring your idea into reality quickly crossing the line into pressure to succeed.
Working for a Series A start-up doesn’t compare to going on a yoga retreat. And it would be disingenuous of me to discount all of these clichés. From “hustle culture” to being on-call 24/7, there are definitely a vast number of voices out there claiming that working for a company in its early stages means sacrificing everything else life has to offer.

Series A start-ups are full of classic stereotypes.
