Thanks so much for conducting this research you both! And of course for the write-up :)
I’m curious about this: How cumbersome (or not cumbersome) did you find collecting this information by yourself (especially as a small org)? For future hires: Would you prefer to do this again but let someone else take over this research? What do you think about an HH employee conducting the research vs. an external party?
Just asking as I wonder if we could have more of these insights by removing any (potentially existing) roadblocks.
Great question! Collecting this information was not cumbersome. It was collected after 3 months of working with us, so some of the answers were recollections of past experiences, so it might not have been what was 100% felt in the moment. If we had record of initial thoughts (via recorded check-ins or if he kept a journal) that would have been useful. As for future hires, might be worthwhile for an external party to conduct the research so there is less bias when reporting.
