La Converse<\/a> is a young, independent Francophone media organization from Montreal with a team made up of journalists from traditionally marginalized backgrounds. Founding editor Lela Savi\u0107 has grown La Converse and invested crucial financial and time resources into both the publication and \u00c9cole Converse, which equips BIPOC youth in Montreal with reporting training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As La Converse continues to grow, Lela and her team wanted a better system to assess new hires and understand best practices for bringing them into the organization. As La Converse is an organization guided by its values, Lela sought to ensure that she could operationalize those values in the hiring process. She also wanted to grow the organization thoughtfully and adjust La Converse\u2019s revenue strategy as needed to allow for future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lela worked with LION coach Ana Mina, whose background in organizational strategy helped Lela think through human resources solutions to benefit both Converse Media and \u00c9cole Converse. Together, they examined the people operations workflows for both organizations and worked through how Lela could optimize La Converse\u2019s current recruitment, hiring, onboarding, and evaluation processes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Lela prepared to recruit a junior journalist into their fellowship program, she worked on several deliverables, including an interview grid, job description, and interview process. Lela also completed a performance review template and a user manual to help onboard leaders at La Converse and help them more quickly understand the organization\u2019s culture and values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
