If there’s something other companies can learn from how Talk Shop treats its employees, it’s the importance of walking your talk in how you treat colleagues.

In 2018, the company launched its In Residence program, where a portion of annual profits are reinvested into its people and their ideas to incubate new ventures and new entrepreneurs. In 2019, two business concepts brought forward by employees were greenlit for investment.

By providing the mentorship, skills, and capital necessary to imagine, explore, and incubate concepts, Talk Shop is leading with a philosophy that everyone is stronger when they work together.
