Building a Documentation-Focused Culture with Podge Thomas

Find the episode on your podcast player of choice.

If you had told me 10 years ago that strong documentation was one of the most important aspects of building great company culture, I would have thought you were nuts.

But here we are. And that’s exactly what I believe.

Luckily, so does today’s guest, Podge Thomas, who shared so much goodness about the importance of documentation and how to incorporate it into your work practices. If you’re worried this will be a boring topic, think again. I got goosebumps, not once, not twice, but THREE different times during our conversation. It’s a good one.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why Podge approaches all her work through a lens of of liberation and justice.
What documentation is and how it impacts both employee experience and equity.
The trouble with using Google Drive for documentation.
Why we both love Notion so, so much.
The thing most people get wrong when it comes to documentation.
Tips for making the documentation process easier, including where to start.
