Our Employee Communications and Engagement Team sits under the Corporate Practice. We are industry agnostic and partner with our clients to implement business plans, elevate and empower executives to better connect and engage with their teams, drive organizational change and transformations, engage employees in priorities such as DEI, celebrate employees through recognition and storytelling, among others.

Golin is a progressive public relations agency with expertise ranging from brand-building and cutting- edge digital content, to corporate reputation, healthcare advocacy and measurement. Golin aligns earned-first, data-driven creative with the customer journey, to deliver maximum impact for clients and reach a profoundly diverse global market. “Go All In” is the agency’s ethos and commitment to bravery over mediocrity.

We Go All In, in everything we do. We’re especially committed to Go All In for our people. We challenge our employees to be Courageously Happy and have empowered them to do so by offering our Lifetime benefits program.
