The Culture and Connection Partner is the custodian of our organizational DNA. The mission is to design, implement, and sustain initiatives that foster a sense of belonging, alignment with company values, and high levels of engagement. You will act as a strategic consultant to leadership and a relatable advocate for employees, ensuring our internal & “community” is thriving, connected, and inclusive.

Key Responsibilities

1. Culture Integration & Onboarding

• The “First 90 Days”: Design a world-class immersion program that goes beyond paperwork to help new hires absorb company history, values, and unwritten norms.
• Buddy & Mentorship Programs: Standardize and oversee “Connect” programs that pair new joiners with tenured cultural ambassadors.
• Values Alignment: Audit internal processes to ensure our core values are reflected in how we recognize, reward, and communicate.

2. Internal Community & Engagement

• Connection Initiatives: Organize “Connect” events (virtual and in-person) such as Town Halls, Interest Groups, and Cross-Functional Mixers.
• Engagement Analytics: Own the Employee Engagement Survey lifecycle—interpreting data, identifying “culture gaps,” and partnering with managers on action plans.
• Internal Branding: Work with Marketing to ensure internal newsletters and Slack/Teams channels are vibrant, informative, and reflect our unique voice.

3. Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Advocacy

• Inclusive Spaces: Partner with Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to provide them with the resources and platform they need to drive impact.
• Cultural Calendar: Curate and lead the celebration of diverse milestones (Heritage months, Mental Health Awareness, etc.) that educate and unite the workforce.

4. Employee Voice & Feedback Loops

• Pulse Checks: Facilitate focus groups and “Stay Interviews” to understand the pulse of the organization and preempt turnover.
• Leadership Transparency: Advise seniors on “Human-Centric” communication styles to bridge the gap between the C-suite and the front line.
