“When you’re growing quickly, you can tell how effectively you’re scaling your culture by how successfully you recruited and onboarded your last 50 to 100 team members.”
- Ron Storn, VP of People at Lyft
1. Lyft embeds cultural touchstones throughout the hiring and onboarding process: from little details like signing emails to candidates with “fistbumps”, to providing engagement opportunities with leaders, like new hire chats with our Co-Founders.
2. Lyft builds teams with diverse perspectives, helping them better serve their diverse passenger and driver communities. Lyft Employee Resource Groups help new team members feel included and supported from Day 1.
3. Nothing breaks the ice between new teammates like a friendly chat over a cup of coffee. All new hires at Lyft receive coffee cards on their first day, and they actively encourage using those cards as a way to start building their network at Lyft. Lyft loves their “Coffeemate” Slack bot, which any team member can use to set up a coffee chat with another person at random.
