Preparing for a year of rapid growth from 170 employees to more than 300 employees, Blend invested in Internal Communications and Employee Experience to support the growth. By first assessing the needs of the company it was discovered that the overarching goal was to drive engagement, productivity and connection. These were areas that Blend hadn’t focused on yet, so Blend addressed them through the lenses of effective communication, educating its workforce, trust in leadership and building an engaged culture.
Learn first-hand how Blend improved their employee experience and find out how to:
- Create one team with the same goals (everyone who touched the employee experience was on the same team -- internal comms, employee experience, facilities)
- Develop and implement a CEO Engagement Strategy
- Roll out a scalable monthly all-hands (instead of a weekly Engineering-focused stand-up)
- Create a recognition program (top-down and peer-to-peer)
- Measure employee satisfaction (through bi-weekly engagement pulse surveys)
