Calling All Alumni

Labelreduced826_2Last week, Organic launched OrganicConnect, a way for former Organics to get back in touch with us and with each other. We felt it was important to remind employees that their part in the Organic community doesn’t stop when they leave the company. Former Organics can join several Yahoo! groups, befriend the Organic MySpace page, or send an email to alumni@organic.com.


In just a few days, our groups already have over 100 members and we are adding friends to our MySpace page daily! The feedback has been great, for the most part. Here are some of the comments that we have received:

  • "Great idea to reconnect the group."
  • "I enjoyed my time in Organic and wanted to keep in touch with old colleagues and keep abreast of how the company is doing.”
  • "Thank you for starting this. I love Organic – the people, culture, and the work were awesome.”

We create online communities for a living. So, it was about time for Organic to levearge the Web to strengthen our own community.

Hi Ann,

What a great idea! Just a reminder that Organic Inc. also has a growing and official network on Facebook.com and we can promote it so that Organic Alumni and existing employees can connect with each other.

About AllHands

At Organic, AllHands is a word that we have used regularly. It has meaning to us. It’s collaborative, speaks to whole teams, and it’s a term deeply rooted in our culture—as it is what we call our local office meetings. At AllHands meetings, we share completed work, celebrate successes, and welcome new colleagues.

We have created the AllHands blog to capture the spirit of these gatherings and to give the world a view inside Organic—who we are and how we work. It’s a place where all Organics can share their stories and experiences with each other and with you.

If you think that you’d make a great Organic, visit us at careers.organic.com.
