Summary
Could your "people problems" be silently tanking your company's valuation? For founder Matthew Schmidt, they did. This video tells the real-world story of How Our HR Mistakes Cost Us 30% on Our Exit. Matthew, CEO of People Logic, learned the hard way at his last company how burnout, high attrition, and process inefficiencies can directly impact the bottom line, likely decreasing their final exit value by a third and delaying the sale by two years. This is a masterclass in how organizational health translates directly to business value. You'll learn how to spot hidden "people problems" before they become catastrophic, why you should be cautious about using AI in sensitive areas like performance reviews, and how to build a data-driven HR strategy that maximizes both employee well-being and your company's valuation.
