Our recent research, conducted in partnership with the University of Cincinnati, reveals a powerful insight: the relationships you build with employees before they exit can transform them into some of your organization’s most influential brand ambassadors. By fostering meaningful connections and trust, you can unlock opportunities to turn former employees—your alumni—into a valuable, long-term asset.
Alumni relations play a critical role in shaping your brand’s reputation and success. Former employees have the potential to drive immense value beyond their tenure, whether by acting as trusted advocates, referring top talent, or sparking innovation through knowledge-sharing. Some even return as “boomerang” employees, bringing fresh perspectives and renewed commitment to the organization.
Our latest white paper explores how pre-exit relationships directly impact alumni value creation, including their willingness to make high-quality referrals. It also examines how factors like workplace assurance, leadership effectiveness, and work-life balance play a pivotal role in shaping this relationship—and why understanding gender differences can take your alumni engagement strategies to the next level.
A supportive approach to work-life balance is a cornerstone of employee satisfaction. When employees feel that their organization genuinely values their personal well-being—through flexible scheduling, mental health support, or family-friendly policies—they are more likely to remain loyal advocates. Alumni who perceive their former organization as prioritizing work-life balance are better equipped to promote it as a desirable place to work.
