What “working with humans” means to Balvinder
“Working with humans is understanding that we're complex. And also thinking we have to individualize what things mean with each person. And that's a big issue we have today when we talk about hybrid working, you have to give people some space, and you have to give them a bit of freedom, so that they feel that something's tailored to them. So for me working with humans is understanding individual needs, and adapting to them as far as we can.”
What “working with humans” means to Lyndsey
“I say trust...you've really got to trust people, you got to build those relationships and communicate, and the more you trust somebody, the more likely you're going to work with them and be successful.”
