Work Culture: It's Not Just Policies and Posters
Culture isn’t something you set and forget it takes work, intention, and heart. In this session, I’ll share how we’ve built a workplace where connection and celebration matter just as much as performance. We’ve hit highs, faced lows, and learned that culture doesn’t build itself; it’s created through the choices, traditions, and energy we bring every single day.
Featured speaker: Alyssa Kaste, Owner, Express Employment Professionals
Alyssa Kaste is the owner of Express Employment Professionals in Grand Forks, alongside her husband, Darin. Under their leadership, the team has been recognized as the #1 Express office in the nation in 2023 and #2 in 2024. Alyssa is passionate about people, culture, and community—believing that great workplaces don’t just happen. They’re built, protected, and kept alive through connection, laughter, and celebrating the wins, big and small.
