Motivation of collaborators, defining a common goal, the way tasks are organized and possibilities for professional growth prevail over the other elements.
Especially at a time when the workplace is becoming more dispersed, business volatility continues and employee depletion is reaching critical proportions globally.
Organized by Great Place to Work (GPTW), an international company specializing in work environment, and neutopiaThe meeting was held with the aim of exchanging valuable ideas and experiences.
The speakers are the managing partner of Newtopia, Diego Noriega; CEO & Founder herb, Mark Sponton; And Marketing Manager beautiful, Edwin Rager. While the supervision was in charge of the Commercial Director of GPTW Argentina, Gonzalo Polanco.

Attracting and retaining talent is a growing challenge among companies, and even more so in startups
“There’s a list of people who would like to join Yerbo, and it’s much larger than the people we’re looking for. When what you’re doing is solving a problem that many people have had first-hand, you don’t have to do much to attract talent,” he said.
Among the three least influential aspects when it comes to attracting and retaining new talent, the entrepreneur mentioned compliance with economic compensation, availability of material resources and perks (additional benefits). But they are, by mistake, the ones companies take into account when offering a job.
Other aspects to consider
On the other hand, among the variables that have a significant impact in terms of employee satisfaction, the feeling of being valued by the company, the way tasks are organized and possibilities for professional growth. “This means that all the variables related to how they grow as people within a given context. In fact, at Yerbo we are in a very special situation, where there are people from companies like The Google Wanting to join, even if for them it means a massive salary cut.”
In this regard, he analyzed: “There are billions of people in the world. For this reason, we can afford to search for those who want to come to this island, even jump off giant ships. If we are frank, open and energetic. A transparent comment on the direction we want Walking in it, we often have advantages over large corporations that have no way of conveying this message. There are many people who have the same desire as we do, to join these uncertain places.”
In this sense, Noriega of Neutopia referred to the opportunities presented by globalization and the home office. “We used to look for talent from 20 kilometers away. But today you can hire people from anywhere in the world. Identification depends on the problem to be solved, and it is a common goal. I think that is the main tool, in addition to having the current leaders or Methodologies for making a decision that they feel a part of helps too, rather than giving a bottom line.”
Then came Rager, who is responsible for marketing Belo, an app for buying and selling cryptocurrency, which has the financial backing of Newtopia. The added value we can provide start Goes through the kind of professional growth we offer. Tell someone “Take this and see how you solve it, I don’t care what you do”. These kinds of situations make it possible for people to advance all the time.”
