The Role

Key Responsibilities

• Culture Activation and Leadership Practices Translate enterprise culture priorities and leadership behaviors into manager guides, team activities, communications, and other usable resources for assigned audiences. Support global and local leaders and managers in applying practices such as listening, recognition, accountability, simpler ways of working, and decisions at the appropriate level. Gather examples of The Kyndryl Way in action and share effective practices across teams and geographies. Help embed The Kyndryl Way by turning culture priorities into everyday behaviors, reinforcing them through team routines and processes (systems), and highlighting examples and recognition that make the culture visible (symbols).
• Change and Adoption Plan and deliver change activities for assigned initiatives, including stakeholder engagement, readiness, communications, enablement, and follow-up. Coordinate with HRBPs, Talent, Learning, Communications, and business partners to adapt materials to local needs while staying aligned with the enterprise culture approach. Support culture advocates and other partner networks by preparing resources, facilitating working sessions, and capturing barriers and feedback.
• Engagement and Insights Review engagement survey results, listening feedback, and available culture measures with partners to identify themes and practical actions. Help managers and teams develop, track, and refine engagement action plans; summarize progress and lessons learned for the Culture Transformation team. Use participation, adoption, and employee feedback measures to evaluate assigned initiatives and recommend improvements.
