Ep 69: Growth happens when you get uncomfortable with Dominic Joyce

A company must consider its values in everything it does, including the first point of contact when hiring new staff. Knowing when you need to add to the cultural dynamic of a team or blend with what you already have is crucial to meet those values. In this episode I talk to Dominic Joyce, Head of Talent Acquisition and Travelex, to find out how to achieve this in your company.

He also discusses the good and bad sides of LinkedIn and shares his thoughts on why hiring starts from a company’s values. He goes deep into his own background by sharing his experiences growing up without a father figure and an alcoholic mother, and how this has informed his relationship with his daughter.
