As the new year gets underway, people leaders are focused on how to make it the best year yet for their workforce and their business

For Crunchbase CPO Kelly Mendez-Scheib, this means doing everything possible to “support people in a safe, authentic way,” in both their personal and professional lives

Last year, Crunchbase piloted a coach-in-residence program as an addition to their employee well-being strategy. A third party coach was assigned to different employees over the span of the fourth quarter, working with them on leadership development, how their personal values connect to the workplace, stress management, resilience, and more. 

The company also brought in a psychotherapist for off-site training sessions, and are planning to make this a bigger part of the employee experience this year, Mendez-Scheib says. Despite being a career coach herself, she notes the importance of being open to outside expertise.
