Culture Fracture at Scale
After doubling headcount from 40 to 85 in four months, the company’s culture collapsed under speed.
High performers left, internal communication broke, and teams formed silos.
Founders realized they had hired for skills, not behavioral compatibility.
The cost of misalignment was enormous: delays, burnout, and a toxic “we vs. they” divide between departments.
Engineering Predictable Culture
1. Behavioral Audit & Team Scan
Ran RIRA diagnostics for all 22 core employees.
Identified archetype imbalances—too many “Explorers,” not enough “Operators.”
Highlighted leadership blind spots that amplified chaos during growth.
2. Recruitment Fit Modeling
Created a Behavioral Fit Matrix for future hires.
Mapped role archetypes to ensure synergy (e.g., Visionary × Integrator pairs).
Embedded alignment data into interview scorecards and onboarding processes.
3. Cultural Reintegration
Conducted team alignment sessions using RIRA “Behavior Mirrors.”
Trained managers to recognize early friction patterns and adapt coaching style.
Built a 90-day onboarding ritual to reinforce shared identity and values.
Predictable Retention
• Employee churn: reduced by 41% within 45 days.
• Manager satisfaction: +37% improvement.
• Cross-team collaboration: improved by 28%.
• Onboarding completion time cut from 6 weeks to 3.
“We always said we were hiring for culture, but we didn’t know what culture meant in measurable terms. RIRA made it visible — it decoded who thrives here and who burns out. The audit gave us a structured system for talent decisions, not just gut feeling. It completely reshaped how we build teams.”
