A more intentional employee experience.

Hiring is only the beginning.

Small companies often don't have a dedicated HR or People & Culture team. The founder, manager, or office team ends up taking care of everything — from hiring and onboarding to birthdays, team connection, wellbeing, and company culture.

At Alongside, we have a mission to fill this gap where HR is not present - to create more intentional work space environments. We believe by doing so, it will positively impact communities and business outcomes.

Alongside

Workplace Program

Introduction Call → Review current company structure, team dynamics, and vision of a specialized program. What would you like more of for your company culture - Creativity? Local Events? Sustainability? Volunteering? Fitness? Food?

Employee Survey → 5-10 questions to understand what employees would like more of from their workplace.

Creation of Program → First monthly calendar presented to founder/company contact.

ONBOARDING PROCESS

Every Monday, your employees receive a short, thoughtful communication curated specifically for your company.

A little wellbeing. A little inspiration. Something happening nearby. Something seasonal. Something to try.

WEEKLY - THE MONDAY BRIEF

Touch base and connect over a 15 minute call with the founder/company contact.

Review any details that should be included in upcoming employee communications such as new hires or specific company details.

MONTHLY - CHECK IN

QUARTERLY - EXPERIENCE REVIEW

Touch base over a 30 minute call reviewing: engagement, participation, employee feedback, what's working, and what employees want more of.

Review a recommended guide for the next quarter's focus.

We understand each company is different. That is why we will always keep in mind employee preferences, specific industry news, and company announcements.

Personalized & Considered

  • Alongside is designed for businesses that care deeply about their employees but don't need — or aren't ready for — a full-time People & Culture department.

    We work particularly well with creative, fashion, design, hospitality, lifestyle, and growing founder-led businesses.

  • Every company is different.

    We begin by learning about your team, your values, your location, and what your employees actually want more of.

    Then we build your program around them.

    You choose the priorities. We do the research, curation, and communication.

  • You don't need a huge HR department to create a thoughtful workplace.

    You just need to make caring for your people part of the culture. A thoughtful workplace experience can contribute to employees feeling connected and valued.

    Small investment. Better workplace.

  • Support can be expressed in many different ways.

    Please let us know if you would also be interested in Alongside organizing in-person events, employee welcome packages, birthday gifts, quarterly team days or community partnerships.
