The lessons from this episode is about infusing your company values into your workforce. Sarah outlines 5 events and 4 spaces to consider in this.

The 5 events are onboarding, orientation, promotion/transfer, anniversary and exit.

The 4 spaces are workspaces, breakspaces, restrooms and bulletin boards.

Additionally, Sarah provided questions to consider when cultivating these events and spaces.

Questions for events are:

• What is important for the person to know about in this moment?
• What is important for the person to do?
• What is important for them to understand or for you to assess?
• What is important for the person to feel?

Questions for spaces are:

• What physical workspace does this person need?
• What equipment does this person need?
• What do we want people to feel in these spaces?
• What does the space need to look like? This ties to the last question.
• How often will we update our spaces?
