Issue 2
Welcome
Right now I’m standing in line to board a plane. I’m in one of those bridges that connect plane to gate and feels like the inside of an accordion. Six hours from now I’ll be in Colorado, meeting up with my dad to start a fly fishing trip, a style we’ve never tried before. On the way back, I’ll stop by my sister’s place in Chica- go to celebrate my niece’s first roation around the sun. It’ll be a good break. At work, our Employee Experience team (eX) just wrapped up some major projects — 10 classes, 6 onsite events, are launching a new platform— and are about to complete a new one, this magazine. As an organization, we have hit a major milestone of releasing 500 plans through Blazewater technology, and internally we are growing at 100%. It seems fitting then that our first issue is on onboarding, or, more generally, the experi- ence of transitioning into something new. We are always taking in what’s going on around us, but when it’s something novel, or at the bookends of a meaningful period, we tend to process the experience more fully and to tuck it away in a place that’s easy to recall. This first issue explores these periods in their different variations. We hope you enjoy.
