— Growth creates opportunities for a business, but it also exposes weaknesses in people processes. A small team can often rely on direct communication and founder oversight. As more employees and managers join, decisions about recruitment, contracts, absence, performance and workplace behaviour become distributed across the organisation. If each manager handles those issues differently, employees…
