* [Netflix Culture](https://review.firstround.com/The-woman-behind-the-Netflix-Culture-doc): Very interesting perspectives from Patty McCord on what it took to build Netflix's unique culture (sports team, talent density, no performance bonuses, top of market pay, etc). She was the CHRO of Netflix. Netflix produced the Netflix culture deck that has circulated the tech space for a number of years.
* [The Culture Map](https://erinmeyer.com/books/the-culture-map/): If you work in any global team with different cultures or ways of life, this is a MUST read. It dives deeper into the differences between cultures on a number of different dimensions with great examples of no-nos when interacting with multicultural teams.
* [Managers of One](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/#making-decisions): prior to reading this article, I've never heard of the concept of "Manager of One". I really love how Gitlab highlights the 20 things you need to see a Manager of One. As a Talent Professional, those 20 things really summarize the types of behaviour I would expect from a high performing individual contributor role.

* [a16z's blog archives](https://a16z.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/The-pmarca-Blog-Archives.pdf): really interesting points about "summertime soldiers", "vesting in peace" and "mediocre performers". He provides advice on turning around a company through really strategic HR choices.

This is a resource that HR professionals can use to research what's available in the market, but remember: the best policies are custom fit to your organization's reality. As always, give kudos and appropriate credit to the individuals and organizations where you drew inspiration from! :)
* [Workplace Investigations for the Human Resources Professional](https://openeducationalberta.ca/workplaceinvestigationshr/): Great primer on what the investigation process looks like. As someone not involved with these activities in my organization, the information was digestible and useful. Resource is free which is helpful for self-taught HR professionls lacking the HR academic background.
