About WWFP

The ways in which companies appeal to their talent has changed as the workforce has changed. According to a recent Glassdoor study, company culture tops the list of what matters most to today’s employees. As an Office Manager, company culture is my main focus. Through things like company activities, snack programs and other perks I try to deliver one aspect of a successful culture, but as a[n older] millennial that has worked for many organizations for over a decade, I appreciate that I work for an organization that understands the importance of balancing useful benefits with monthly caterings and summer outings.

I started this blog for Office Managers and other human resources professionals that are looking for ways to generate programs as a part of an overall strategy to create company cultures that are energetic, productive and relevant to today’s talent. By joining WWFP you will be a part of a community dedicated to assisting companies in enhancing and maintaining employee morale.

I am in no way perfect at my job, and I’m not the kind of manager that ultimately makes the BIG decisions, but I have the benefit of proximity to my coworkers, and being a collaborator on the task of creating company culture has been one of my most fulfilling objectives. So if you’re like me, feel free to share your experiences and questions, and we’ll grow to be better culture influencers together!

Bio

Hi! I’m Kim, and I currently reside in Washington, D.C., where I grew up surrounded by my large extended family in the 1980’s and 1990’s. In undergrad I studied advertising and creative writing in the pan handle of West Virginia, and years later got my MBA in Maryland. While working my first “real job” in human resources for a large retail chain, I was approached by a friend to start a web and graphic design company, and at the age of 24 I co-founded Blackink Interactive Media & Design. I’d love to say the company was a great success, and in a way it was, but unfortunately after two years my colleague and I had to close the business.

I plugged on and began working in marketing, during which time I launched my first blog in 2010, a natural hair blog. Since then I’ve had many kinds of jobs ranging from running an eCommerce site selling handmade home décor, to working in a non-profit organization whose goal is to feed and clothe the homeless in D.C. Today, I work for a growing Certified B Corporation in downtown D.C. that develops fundraising software for small and medium sized non-profits. The mission is what originally drew me to my current organization, but the culture is what continually impresses me.

I’d love for you to stick around for some of my insights, and even share your own.
