Alexandra Copos de Prada: Helping Companies Better Invest in Their Employees
Alex: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! As CEO of a 1,500-staff hospitality company, I struggled to retain people with us for longer. We were bleeding over 500 employees a year which was costing us over one million euros per year. I initially faced low morale, and a difficulty to attract quality people, as well as develop our high potentials. I tested out many ideas to improve engagement, productivity, and retention, which resulted in halving our attrition rate and saving hundreds of thousands that we then invested back in delivering an exceptional employee experience. Moonstar was built out of my challenge of finding a far-reaching solution to help mid-sized companies invest in their employees to build a highly productive, connected, and happier workforce.
