What's the, the driver for them to transition to something like this?
44:39
Well, uh, having, um...
44:42
I think there's, there's definitely a, an aspect where they're looking at sort of a, sort of loyalty, uh, bonus for this.
44:47
And of course, once you make things convenient for people, they're more likely to come back, you know.
44:50
So, so that's always good.
44:52
Uh, especially if you're que- you know, queuing up for the footy, you know, you got a special express lane.
44:55
That's nice.
46:24
Are there, are there risks associated with that, David?
1:38
Everything's fixed.
1:40
Yeah, it's good in theory, Gareth, isn't it? But the reality, I'm sure we've all been there, the reality is not quite that.
1:47
And so maybe it's because you didn't go through the right processes to hire in the first place.
1:53
Of course, that's one area.
1:55
But maybe you did do the right thing.
1:56
Maybe you did screen the CVs properly.
1:59
Maybe you had a great interviewing process.

certainly um okay i've got one question ready which is the overall question and i totally understand if you're going to come out and say like i couldn't possibly answer it so what needs to be designed in a business david before you can actually talk about headcount increase
5:36
What do you think to that, David?
5:38
So I think that's a really interesting point, Valerie, that when...
5:41
So when, when, when companies begin to grow, uh, and, and they're strong businesses, they, they, they're small, but they're strong.
5:49
They've got, you know, they're making money, they're making profit and, and yet it's not, it's not quite growing in the way they want it to grow.
5:57
And maybe they, maybe they've recruited more people, so maybe they've expanded the team, but it's still not happening And what, what seems to happen is that...
6:05
I mean, and I, and I can make, give several examples, but the, what seems to happen is that the, the founder has, has a passion for whatever it is.
6:13
Let, let's say it's a business with a purpose-driven business, and so the people that they recruit into the company share that same passion.
