How To Become The Best Place To Work with Jenny Biggam, 7stars
Manage episode 443637964 series 3563099
Jenny Biggam is the trailblazing founder of the7stars, the UK’s largest independent media company. They’re doing things differently- no job titles, equal profit shares and unlimited holiday for everyone. The key to attracting the best people, Jenny believes, is building the best place to work.
In this episode, we discuss starting a business, the importance of ‘side hustles’ and how to keep people engaged at work.
As companies face a crisis of employee burnout and high staff turnover, the7stars marks a new kind of workplace, one built around ‘talent encouragement’ and career development. They have been consistently ranked as one of the best places to work, featuring on the Sunday Times’ ‘Top 100 Companies to Work For’ list for the last 11 years and winning Campaign’s Best Place to Work every year since 2020.
Since founding the7stars in 2005, Jenny has also started her own ‘side hustle’, a sister agency called Bountiful Cow. Jenny is the founder and trustee of the7stars Foundation, a charity supporting vulnerable young people in the UK, and was shortlisted for the 2024 Verve Cliqout Bold Women Award.
