Featured snacks - once a week. drop an idea for the next round. to get people to shut up and highlight their unique snack and didn’t have change.
monthly newsletter - posted in restrooms and kitchens. virtual on slack. memory, event, volunteer thing for the month onboarding - speed scaling event. Speed meeting - mini breakout room, new hires and mentors. every new hire expected that. when they stayed, they eventually became mentors . used google docs to send manager to collect mentor and 5 collaborators. reminder and plug it. identified onboarding mentors through form. all-hands all new hires would get face on slide with fun fact.
