Human Resources Policy at Startups
As weâve shared in the past, we get many questions from our founders related to talent, including everything from diversity to compensation to performance management. Given the many reports of inappropriate and unacceptable behavior in the tech industry (and more broadly) in the past year, we decided to be proactive about an important set of topics â HR policies and creating a safe, inclusive and engaging work environment. While weâve historically provided our portfolio companies with guidance in these areas on an ad hoc basis, we wanted to both formalize our advice and share it more broadly. All startups should be establishing these policies early in the companyâs life to ensure a safe, enjoyable and productive workplace.
In Human Resources Policy at Startups we present our suggested guidelines for both basic HR policies and HR handbooks. In the guide weâve included a legally-vetted (U.S. law), standard Policy Against Discrimination, Harassment, Retaliation and Bullying that can serve as a template for startups. As always, we welcome your feedback and questions â this is a living document that weâll update as we learn. Please contact Beth Scheer, Homebrewâs Head of Talent, with your thoughts.

seeing a lot of posts condemning âpussy grabs backâ as cissexist and although i would agree that it is not the perfect âwomenâs marchâ slogan by any means i would urge you all to keep in mind that it is a direct response to trumpâs violent statement and therefore makes sense as a phrase of political retaliation âŚ..like obviously there should be many other myriad phrases and slogans for protesting that arenât as exclusionary but i donât think we should be shaming those who wielded âpussy grabs backâ signs today since those signs are in active & necessary conversation with sexually violent remarks made by our president and the people wielding those signs are absolutely at liberty to respond directly in that way. anyways perhaps try to have some nuance in your thought today folks
yes yes yes. we need to remember: not all women have vaginas, and not all people who have vaginas are women, but all vaginas are a probable site of violence, and as such they have a place in the conversation.Â
This. Also keep in mind that reproductive rights was also a big issue, which might have caused people to carry signs with uteruses/vaginas, and thereâs nothing wrong with that.
Thereâs nothing inherently transphobic about women talking about their own genitalia and reproductive rights, and itâs possible to talk about and fight transphobia without condemning people for fighting for their own rights.
Crowds in hundreds of cities around the world gathered Saturday in conjunction with the Womenâs March on Washington.
