Patricia (Tricia) Jesperson, Chief Curiosity Officer
In today’s competitive landscape, organizations striving to attract top talent must prioritize hiring for culture complement rather than simply culture fit. This strategy is essential to bringing in individuals who reflect the diverse makeup of the modern workforce—a critical driver of innovation. By cultivating a culture of curiosity, organizations can create an 'employee mosaic' enriched by a wide range of perspectives.
At EmployeeEXP, we empower individuals with 21st-century management and leadership skills designed for resilient and sustainable growth. Our clients recognize the importance of strengthening their leaders, managers, supervisors, and team members. We focus on equipping them to engage and develop individuals who both share similarities and contribute diverse viewpoints. This comprehensive approach is key to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and successful organizational culture.

Employee Engagement Surveys
We analyze quantitative data from engagement surveys to identify trends, areas of concern, and understand the sentiment of your workforce. This provides a foundation to target strategies and highlight key themes needing to be addressed.

Through qualitative methods, such as focus groups and one-on-one interviews, we gather in-depth feedback. These sessions illuminate possible areas of concern not fully present in the survey data.

AI allows us to identify patterns, predict future engagement trends, and recommend personalized solutions. AI also enhances our ability to measure the effectiveness of our programs, offering real-time insights and enabling continuous improvement.
