02 — People & Culture
We make your company
a place people choose to stay.
Culture is your highest-leverage retention tool. We build it intentionally — diagnosing what is driving people out, designing experiences that reconnect your team, and handing leadership a written strategy for what comes next.
Consultant fee covers strategy, diagnostic, facilitation, and your written culture plan. Activity and venue costs are always scoped separately.

Every engagement begins with a survey.
Before anything else, we survey your team on preferences, communication gaps, friction points, and comfort levels. Nothing is generic. Every detail is informed by the people in the room — and the strategy is built around what we find.
Engagements
Three ways to work together.
Each engagement is designed around your team's specific moment. We diagnose, design, facilitate, and deliver a written strategy — then stay accountable to the work through structured follow-up.

What a Compass day looks like.
Every engagement is designed from scratch based on your team survey and discovery session. This is a sample itinerary for a full-day experience focused on cross-functional culture alignment.
Team arrives
Brief welcome from leadership. Optional surprise culture day reveal coordinated in advance with your People lead.
Opening session
North and Ninth opens the day. Direct, warm, zero corporate jargon. We name the gap, frame the day, and set the intention.
Team activity
Cross-functional teams deliberately mixed across departments. Activity selected based on your team survey.
Shared lunch
Catered or at a restaurant selected based on dietary survey responses. No agenda. Just real conversation.
Post-lunch downtime
Unstructured time. This is where organic connection happens and we do not rush it.
Closing workshop
Custom-designed around your team's specific culture gap. Built to make the problem visible, not just discussable.
Close
Leadership shares 2 to 3 commitments surfaced from the day. Team leaves with something real to carry back to work.
