In this inspiring episode of the Her Resources Podcast, host Linda Misegadis dives deep into what it truly takes to build a thriving, people-first workplace with guests Dean Matthews, CEO and founder, and Amanda Bethuy (pronounced Beeth-way), HR and Operations Manager at OnTheClock.
OnTheClock is a time-tracking solution that has achieved the “holy grail of leadership”:a culture with near-zero turnover where people genuinely love where they work.
Dean and Amanda reveal the intentional strategies behind their culture and how they embed core values—like transparency and trust—into the daily rhythm of their company.
