Building a Documentation-Focused Culture with Podge Thomas

Want To Work There

Jun 6 2023 • 54 mins

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 liberation and justice.
  • What is documentation and how does it impact 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.
