MENTORSHIP PROGRAM & MORALE LUNCHES
The most successful people in the world always have a terrific team behind them, and Crossflow chooses to be the team behind the people, cheering our employees on to meaningful successes. Our Mentorship Program involves strategically pairing a protégé with a mentor who understands an employee's career aspirations and provides coaching towards that goal. A less structured version of this is our Morale Lunch program. We committed a portion of our budget to support our leads to meet with their team members over lunch and facilitate quality catch up sessions. The morale lunches have become a great tool for maintaining open communication and gaining insightful feedback.
