Eric Hansen on keeping good people
Play • 32 min

What do cash, hand-written notes, and knowledge sharing do for your culture? If you’re Eric Hansen, they make all the difference. Eric is the CFO at Red Peg Marketing, and he’s leading people and nurturing the company’s culture from an unexpected angle.


Known as the “cash and culture guy”, Eric literally gives out cash on the one hand, and steers the Red Peg culture with the other in a very personal way. His fascinating turnaround story of taking Red Peg’s employee retention from 60 to 90 percent over three years is the topic of conversation in this episode of People at Work.


Eric shares his no-nonsense approach to building culture and retaining people, which centres on caring genuinely, having fun together, and involving people as much as possible (oh, and don’t forget the cold, hard cash!). You’ll get a boost from Eric, as he shares his unconventional culture background and his day-to-day rituals that make people front and center in Red Peg’s culture. 


About our guest:

Eric is CFO & COO of RedPeg and serves as an all-around community advocate, playing an influential role in many of RedPeg’s workplace internal culture initiatives. He shines in his passion for people and the New York Yankees.
