Christen deMedeiros
Founder & Executive Communications Advisor, Specializing in internal communications, employee well-being, and company culture strategy
Your internal communication style shows how you speak to your employees; your organization’s culture shows how they respond.
As the founder of Work Place Renaissance, my focus on internal communication strategy and company culture enables me to support organizational leaders as they mindfully transform their organization’s culture from anxiety-inducing to supportive and welcoming.
I’m passionate about developing strategies that help organizations retain talent, communicate more effectively, and practice purpose-driven leadership.
For me, the aftermath of a renaissance at work is an organization whose leaders demonstrate compassion and support for employees, fostering a healthy environment centered on well-being and mindful practices.
In turn, employees are more engaged, and retention rates are higher.
I encourage all clients to start on the path to building a better company culture by first investing time and effort into auditing their employee communication strategy and learning more about employee perceptions of the organization.
Employees are the most important asset of any organization, because they’re the ones doing the work.
Ready to build sustainable practices to improve your company culture and increase retention? Great, because I’m ready to partner with you and your team to create a company culture worth working for!
