GHD’s Global Alumni Community
We’re fortunate to work with many talented people, and the new Global Alumni Community is a chance to keep the conversation and connections going beyond our people’s time at GHD, as well as…
- Encouraging project referrals and recommendations
- Enhance employer branding and reputation
- Cultivating advocacy among alumni, enabling them to stay abreast of our technical advancements and project successes, and maintaining a sense of pride and affiliation
- Strengthening connections to the GHD Foundation
- Supporting hiring processes by providing referrals or coming back as returning employees themselves
- Providing a community of thought leaders and potential mentors
Alumni become clients, suppliers, boomerang employees, mentors to current workers, and ambassadors for the GHD brand. A 2019 report by PeoplePath and Cornell University indicates that about a third of corporate alumni maintain connections with previous employees as clients, partners, or vendors – and that 15 per cent of new hires come from alumni rehires and referrals.
We would love for you to spread the word. Please share the link to register with any former GHD colleagues who you think may be interested in joining.
“Our colleagues play a huge role in our lives. Many of us keep in touch with people we formerly worked with long beyond working together – as friends, as mentors, as clients,” says Sonia Adams, Chief Client Officer. “Former GHD employees can also be some of the greatest advocates for our business. Fostering relationships with those people is an important component of GHD’s long-term success and sustainability.”
“I’m looking forward to seeing how we can enhance our connections through the Alumni Community. We’ll be celebrating their achievements, providing development opportunities, facilitating knowledge sharing, and continually improving both the program and our employee experience through their feedback,” says Nell Milne, Global Alumni Coordinator
