  • Plan and coordinate employee engagement opportunities, including community volunteer events, team celebrations, recognition programs, and office-based activities.
  • Partner with leaders and cross-functional teams to identify opportunities to strengthen culture, foster collaboration, and improve the employee experience.

  • Source, order, and distribute swag and gifts while managing vendor relationships, inventory levels, and budget considerations.
  • Coordinate employee recognition programs, including service anniversaries, birthdays, employee milestones, and appreciation initiatives.
  • Support the administration and promotion of employee feedback and engagement programs, including pulse surveys and company-wide engagement surveys.
