• Lead VCP (Vision & Core Purpose) workshops and "Pocket Sessions" to reinforce organizational values and knowledge sharing.
• Manage GINHAWA sessions and psychosocial support services, providing science-based wellness and mental health resources.
• Conduct standardized exit interviews to capture actionable data for cultural improvement.
