Overview

Our Employee Relations team at Intuit enables a psychologically safe and supportive work environment that allows employees to do the best work of their lives. We manage and drive policies, programs, and changes that help us stay true to Intuit’s people-first culture and our values. We work with leaders and employees on concerns, conflicts, facilitated conversations, and escalations about the work environment and experiences that feel unfair, disrespectful, or not aligned to our company value of Stronger Together.

For us, Employee Relations is not just about resolving concerns - it’s about much more. We believe in making sure everyone has a voice and feels valued and heard. We believe in having difficult conversations and debating with respect and care. We help our employees embrace and understand other perspectives, even when they disagree. We believe in acknowledging when experiences are not perfect and finding ways to learn from those experiences and restore trust. We are facilitators, coaches, culture-stewards, innovators, and problem-solvers who wake up every day knowing we make a difference for our employees.
