The Opportunity: Summer 2026 Employee Experience Associate
We are seeking curious, empathetic, and highly organized students to join our Talent Management Consulting team as Employee Experience Associates for Summer 2026.
In this role, you will become a frontline investigator of employee sentiment. You will conduct live, phone-based interviews with employees at organizations around the world—capturing their frustrations, motivations, and untold stories during critical moments: when they join (New Hire Interviews), when they consider staying (Stay Interviews), and when they leave (Exit Interviews) .
Your work will directly inform our clients’ retention strategies. Every conversation you have, every insight you capture, helps organizations build stronger cultures and more engaged workforces.
This is not a passive internship. You will speak with real employees, document real frustrations, and contribute to real organizational change.
