• Own communication and engagement strategy: Partner with communications and functional stakeholders to develop messaging, build understanding, and reinforce desired behaviors over time.
• Use insights to inform the initiative: Track employee feedback, attendance patterns, participation signals, and qualitative input to assess adoption, identify gaps, and own decision-making.
• Identify barriers and recommend practical solutions: Surface friction points that limit meaningful in-person engagement and propose actions to improve consistency, clarity, and value.
• Own collaboration: Help ensure proximity efforts strengthen connection and performance without creating unnecessary friction across teams, roles, or working patterns.
• Contribute to continuous improvement: Use a test-and-learn approach to refine tactics, highlight what is working, and suggest adjustments based on outcomes, feedback, and leadership direction.
