Jimmy Hall
Co-Founder and COO of CultureHQ
I am Co-Founder and COO at CultureHQ, and have a passion for creating meaningful connections between employees. I believe that much of our happiness comes from the people around us; with so many of our hours spent at work, the social environment of the workplace becomes critical to our well-being. As employee attrition rates continue to climb, HR’s need to understand and analyze this dynamic has never been more urgent. Our company strives to meet the needs of both the employee and the employer. Prior to founding CultureHQ, I spent over seven years at Forrester Research, where I worked as an adviser who used market research and survey data to guide clients across many industries. Forrester’s culture inspired me to start my company, and it was there that I met my business partner.
