Since Riipen's inception in 2013, our journey has seen our business and products evolve, which has naturally shaped the transformation of our Riipen culture. Over the past decade, we've successfully developed meaningful people programs and initiatives that resonate with our organization's identity. However, as we continue to evolve, it's essential to assess what works well and where we can make improvements.

In 2020, we underwent a significant transformation, transitioning into a remote-first organization. This transition has expanded our horizons by allowing us to tap into exceptional talent across Canada and the US. Yet, it has also presented us with the challenge of reimagining how we foster connection and engagement in a virtual setting, without relying on traditional in-person events. 

We are looking for your help to rethink our current employee engagement initiatives to ensure we’re creating people programs that are impactful and aligned to increasing engagement in a remote environment. This project will leverage past employee engagement survey data and implement strategies to increase employee motivation, satisfaction, and overall engagement.

In this project, you'll work directly with the Riipen People & Culture (HR) team.

Project Objectives:

• Analyze historical employee survey data and our current people programs to identify trends, areas of improvement, and employee feedback
• Develop and propose a comprehensive employee engagement plan tailored to the remote work environment
• Create success metrics to measure the impact of implemented initiatives on employee engagement levels

Through working on this project, students will work with Riipen's People and Culture (HR) team for the duration of the project. After the match is made, hours per week and the frequency of meetings can be discussed.

The student(s) will be provided with guidance, feedback on their work, and the opportunity to ask questions and learn about current people & culture work and initiatives.

The People & Culture team will maintain open communication and access for students and provide them with access to resources required to achieve project outcomes.
