There is one statistic that stands out when measuring employee satisfaction — tenure.
By that measurement, employees at venture studio Cie hit the jackpot.
“The average tenure across our teams is approaching 10 years because the learnings keep evolving and so do we,” HR Business Partner Karlie Moore said.
That’s twice as long as the average length of time an employee stays with one company in 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
“With meaningful support for both professional and personal growth, our people can keep building their careers, expanding their impact and finding new opportunities right here,” Moore said.
We spoke with Moore about how she and the HR team at Cie have put in the work to make the company somewhere employees can grow and thrive for the long term.
Cie is a venture studio that serves as an innovation lab and accelerator for entrepreneurs.
