Issue 111: Employees dropping like leaves? 🍂

Good morning,

Thanks for joining us! Today we’ve got a brand new Early Guide for you, as well as some fresh links and unique events to check out.

Early Guides are a transparent view on how the Bright + Early team designs and build out custom, values-based employee experiences, and how you can do the same. We’ve released guides on everything from building out amazing onboarding to the nitty gritty of building salary bands for the first time or deescalating conflict at work to help you build workplaces that both attract people and inspire them to stick around. As we keep building out the Early Guides series (you can view the whole collection here), we’d love to know what you’d like to see covered next. Drop us a line!

Have a great weekend,

Nora and Team Bright + Early
