The research and development department of a startup is vital to its success. And you’ll need a dedicated crew to do so. Joey Price discusses the significance of team engagement in companies in this podcast.
According to Joey Price, the CEO of Jumpstart:HR, a strong bond between the founders is the first step towards an engaged team. It would be best to be the most effective communicators and motivators. Then comes your capacity to engage others in a group setting.
In a startup, you can’t pay a high salary or provide fringe benefits. You do, however, have a goal to achieve and a team to work with.
