About Maritsa Inglessis

I'm on a mission to stop great employees from walking out the door. With over 20 years of experience in HR/People & Culture, I'm running my own consultancy, helping Tech startups and scaleups fix the real reasons people leave and prevent it from happening again.

Forget fluffy benefits or HR jargon, I bring a no-BS approach, giving practical advice that cuts through the crap and shows business leaders how to create workplaces people actually want to stay in.

I works hands-on with Founders, CEOs and senior teams to reduce employee turnover, improve retention and build people operations that drive business growth, without wasting money or time on the wrong stuff.

Go-to topics I can confidently speak on:
- Why good people are really leaving and how to stop it
- Common myths about employee retention that cost businesses thousands
- What fast-growing startups get wrong about People (and how to fix it)
- The commercial cost of ignoring turnover (and how to measure it)
- Building a business your employees love (without spending thousands)
- How to move from firefighting to proactive people management
- How to retain top talent in competitive industries

What makes me different:
I don't talk theory; I my sleeves up and work directly with Founders/CEOs to implement change. I'm bold, direct and empathetic, with the ability to get to the bottom of what is happening, not what business owners *think* is happening. I recognise how challenging hiring and scaling a business is, so I make things easy, simple and deliver ROI because it's not about people-pleasing.

I'd love to be on podcasts about:
Startup & scaleup growth, leadership, founder journeys, team building, workplace culture, HR for non-HR people, commercial strategy, operations and future of work.

I have several ways in which I can help listeners, aside from hearing the podcast:
- Free consultation
- Free resources (toolkits, templates, checklists and guides)
- I hold frequent webinars (free to attend) on employee turnover and retention
- I post (practically daily) no-BS advice on LinkedIn
