Oli

Oli + Breakfast has become a bit of a thing 🥐 In our latest London instalment, we invited ~10 senior People folks from top-notch companies like monday.com, ElevenLabs, and Monzo Bank to take part in a candid conversation with Oli CEO Huw Slater. Huw shared Oli's 𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆; 3 key components that drive every high-performing team. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 = Alignment x Speed x Behaviours If you’ve hired great people and see them working hard every day, but something is still holding them back, ask yourself whether one of the Team Performance OS components is missing or weak. Want help with that process? Talk with us 👋

Testing out some new ad creatives. Can someone tell this 40-something-year-old if this meme is still acceptable? 🤔

Imagine you could hire someone whose sole focus was increasing the number of candid feedback conversations across your team or organisation. What impact would that have on execution speed, team performance, and results? What would it do to team morale and personal development? How would it reduce the number of surprises in performance reviews? How would it show up on your exit interviews? Oli is like hiring someone to do this one job f***ing well—without hiring anyone. Ping me if you want on our waiting list.

Here's what feedback looks like at Oli 👇 ♻️ Every day, micro feedback gets shared. This way there's very little that's super heavy, it's always in the context of work and goals, and it sustains healthy habits throughout the team. If we forget, Oli will suggest something relevant to share, along with the 'why'. Feedback never stops flowing. 🎯 Once every ~6 months, Bridie Slater reminds us to explicitly ask for feedback from our peers and managers. Producing that feedback, removing emotion, and giving real examples is now 10x faster and more effective thanks to Oli's help (all within Slack). I'm biased but Oli has completely changed the game for us when it comes to our feedback culture 🤩

I'm stepping down as the cofounder of Oliva. And stepping up as the cofounder of Oli. We've lost the "va", but we definitely haven't lost the "voom" 🚀 Since our launch back in 2020, we've helped 10s of 1000s of people proactively improve their mental health. This is something that makes me 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲 proud—and continues to do so, as we continue to offer the same high-quality mental health support we always have. But it's time for Oli𝗏̶𝖺̶ to do more... We're lucky to have many of the world's best companies as customers, and we've learnt a tonne from partnering with them. Firstly, something we've always known; healthy people create healthy companies. High-quality mental health support is the foundation that makes this happen. But people don't just want to be healthy—they want to thrive (insert overused reference to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs). And guess what? Thriving people create thriving businesses. 👇 Welcome to the new 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝗏̶𝖺̶ 👇 Oli is the AI Performance Partner helping teams work, learn, and grow, every day.
