In the first episode of Humanity Works Season 2, Craig Forman sits down with Didier Elzinga, Culture Amp Co-Founder and CEO, to talk about his alternative approach to compensation, how to build a movement, and his personal journey striving to create an anti-racist and equitable organisation.
Culture Amp was born from the desire to create a better world of work. The man behind that vision is Didier Elzinga. Culture and values are at the heart of everything Didier builds, and Culture Amp is no different. Seeking to build a true culture-first company, Didier now creates a massive impact in other organisations through his work and the Culture Amp platform.
