•  Participate in appropriate employee check-ins, stay interviews, onboarding follow-up, and other retention activities as directed by the HR Administrator.

•  Coordinate appropriate recognition of employee accomplishments, anniversaries, professional achievements, promotions, certifications, and other milestones.

•  Monitor early turnover and work with the HR Administrator and appropriate leaders to identify opportunities to improve retention.

Culture, Staff & Client Success Content

•  Interview or work with employees to develop content that communicates what it is like to work at Believe Therapies and why employees choose to build their careers with the organization.

•  Capture appropriate content during clinic activities, recruiting events, university visits, celebrations, and other opportunities that reflect Believe Therapies' culture.

•  Prepare and organize content for social media use, including photos, videos, story concepts, captions, or supporting information, while coordinating with the individual responsible for publishing and managing Believe Therapies' social media accounts.

•  Maintain an organized content calendar or content bank so recruiting and culture-related material is consistently available rather than created only when needed.

•  Ensure all client-related content has appropriate authorization and follows Believe Therapies' privacy, HIPAA, consent, and company requirements before it is submitted for publication.

•  Ensure content accurately and authentically represents the employee and client experience at Believe Therapies and supports the company's recruiting and retention objectives.
