Dallas-based Will Reed—an executive search firm that exclusively serves seed through Series C startups—is out with its annual Top 100 list of early-stage companies that are shaping the future of workplace culture in 2023. See the three North Texas companies that made the list—by being ""at the forefront of curating thoughtful, caring, and innovative cultures."
Leadr has tripled its revenue by focusing on employee engagement and performance as a natural outcome of developing the whole person.
There's "a real tiredness in the industry" around traditional performance management, says co-founder Chris Heaslip. His startup is on the vanguard of change in manager and employee relationships.
