OUR APPROACH

THE FRAMEWORK
Aspects that define the culture of the organization we are working with become the framework for the people-centric experiences we design.

PEOPLE-CENTRIC EXPERIENCES
All efforts revolve around the employee, who is at the core of everything we do.
OUR EMPLOYEE LIFE CYCLE

STAGE 01: ATTRACT
The employee life cycle begins the moment candidates consider applying for a role within the organization and continues through all recruiting efforts.

STAGE 02: ONBOARDING
During the second stage, which begins once an offer is made, employees learn about the organization and its culture, as well as their roles.

STAGE 03: DEVELOP
Through the third stage, which is the most complex, employees perform and contribute to the organization.

STAGE 04: OFFBOARD
Starting when employees decide to leave the organization, this stage continues beyond employment, when they become alumni.
