Warning - cheesy 🧀 end of year post: 2024 was the year we proved '𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀' isn't just a fancy consultant phrase - it's a mission that transforms how people experience work. Spoiler: It involves a lot of kindness, zero micro-managing, and possibly a few amazing cocktails at our team meetings 🍸 This year, 7people went from a dream to a reality that's reshaping how startups and scale-ups think about People & Culture. But let me be real - it wasn't all smooth sailing. Building a team that truly gets our mission? That took 1200+ applications and more coffee than I care to admit 😅. → 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀 1. Grew from solo founder (in '21) to a team of 15 incredible humans in '24. 2. Besides our core team, we worked with 11 'besties' - our trusted zzp-ers whom we can't do without anymore (you know who you are) 3. We supported 50+ organizations THIS YEAR in creating cultures where people actually want to do their best work ever. 4. Proved that HR can be both strategic AND kind 5. We passed the €2mil revenue mark 6. Multiple of our clients raised funds or had a successful exit 7. We helped 20+ people & culture professionals make a professional move!

Picture this: 15 people in matching tracksuits, playing werewolf and creating a "Wall of Appreciation" with over 250 compliments.

We're creating a movement where work feels less like work and more like meaningful collaboration. More intentional culture, fewer boring meetings, and definitely more team dance-offs 💃 To my 7people ✨ team, family, partners and incredible clients - thank you for 2024. Now. Who's ready to make 2025 even more irresistible? #PeopleAndCulture #IrresistibleOrganizations #StartupLife
