Driving performance through culture
The Sweet Spot Janet talked about is a very critical time. This is Scott's favorite stage of growth companies because the HR work has moved beyond administrative and you can really get strategic: you need to build out policies and programs beyond what is legally required. You can now get philosophical about WHY you have these policies or what you hope to achieve with your programs.

In the fourth module, you will learn about what your culture is and how your employees behave.
In the scale-up phase you aren’t just hiring for the role you have today. You are hiring for what that job is going to look like a year from now. You spend time and effort on development and begin to identify emerging leaders.
That's why in this module you will gain insights into how to find the right people - and encourage the right behaviors - in order to build a culture that drives performance and gets you the business results you want.
How you build that culture is tackled by Janet - who, as Twitter's first VP of HR, grew the team from 90 to 4000 people.
