Kath O'Rourke
People & Strategy Consultant
MA, Assoc CIPD
I set up TideHR to help organisations in the tech industry keep their top talent for longer and scale with confidence.
Growing a tech company is exciting, but as your team scales, so do your people challenges. Many fast-growing tech businesses struggle with:
-
Losing top talent
-
A lack of clear organisational structure, leading to inefficiencies and role confusion
-
Rapid hiring without strong processes, resulting in misaligned teams and retention issues
-
A culture that hasn’t kept up with growth, causing disengagement and leadership challenges
-
Unclear ways of working, making collaboration and decision-making more difficult
-
Founders feeling reactive rather than proactive, with no time for the strategic and meaningful work
-
Getting pulled into people issues which you don't have the time or confidence to navigate
I help tech companies like yours build the organisational structures, processes, and culture needed to support sustainable growth, improve workforce performance, and navigate change effectively.
