Squad goals- Keeping People Motivated How I Scaled My Team

    • Business

It’s no secret that retaining employees is significantly less expensive than hiring new talent. But how do you keep them engaged, connected and motivated in today’s ever-changing and unpredictable workplace? Well, that is a bit of a challenge.
Adina Eckstein, COO at Lemonade, a unicorn tech insurance company, walked us through the delicate art of keeping people engaged. 
She shared with us Lemonade's unique organizational structure of squads, tribes and companies, which was designed to make employees feel empowered and motivated. 
But, they also have an interesting system of checks and balances. For example, once a branch becomes too big they’ll divide it into smaller teams, since intimacy is the name of the game. She gave examples on how this structure helps keep every person at Lemonade feel connected to the company at large and to their own specific goals as they grow from X to Y within Z years.
In addition, she shared her unique view on the role of the COO - to oversee the scaling process of the company, and working closely with the CEO to understand the optimal structure and processes required to support the company’s goal while achieving high productivity and instilling the company’s culture.
