The recruitment team also went through structural changes by working more closely with operations. The process has is formalized with weekly meetings, where the teams sit with recruitment leads to understanding better whom they are hoping to attract. Over time, she has found individuals find a space where they want to contribute and she encourages this.

In doing so, this approach does not become a silo or a pet project.

Johnson is clear that this approach enables colleagues to be brave in sharing new thinking and ideas.
