About
I started Rooted Connections because I believe that every beginning and every ending within a company holds the power to shape its culture, retention, and long-term success. My "why" is grounded in a simple truth: when companies invest in people from the moment they arrive to the moment they depart, everyone thrives.
​
We are addressing a gap many organizations overlook—structured, meaningful transitions. Studies show that organizations with strong onboarding processes improve new hire retention by 82% and productivity by over 70% (Glassdoor, SHRM). Yet, up to 88% of employees report their onboarding experience lacked substance or structure. On the flip side, thoughtful offboarding contributes to higher employer brand equity, smoother knowledge transfer, and even future boomerang hires.
​
My work goes beyond logistics—I help you build intentional systems that create lasting impressions, foster employee-manager relationships, and drive engagement at every touchpoint. Rooted Connections is here to help companies reduce turnover, boost satisfaction, and transform transitions into strategic advantages.
​
​I am passionate about crafting personalized onboarding and offboarding programs that do more than check a box. I work to cultivate belonging, clarity, and respect—helping organizations turn transactional moments into relational milestones. Because when employees feel rooted from the start and appreciated through the end, the connection remains long after the desk is cleared out.
Let’s create workplaces where people don’t just join and leave—but feel seen, supported, and celebrated along the way.​
My story
Jacquelyn Line
Talent Relations Specialist
​I'm a rural Nebraska girl who fell in love with a ranch boy, and together we're raising our babies to appreciate all of God’s creations. I'm a lover of the outdoors, coffee, and all the simple joys of life. My story has led me to discover that my true passion lies in solving the problems of our everyday lives and empowering leaders to grow their businesses with purpose and connection.
When I worked with human operations at a large equipment dealer, I saw the daily struggles of managers first hand. I have witnessed how a strong manager can become discouraged, frustrated, and disengaged due to the demanding task of managing people and projects at the same time. With a background in agricultural economics, communications, and entrepreneurship, my diverse experiences have shaped my approach and deepened my belief that strong, people-centered strategies are the key to lasting success.
​
I’ve always been inspired by the people behind the work—their heart, grit, and commitment to something bigger than themselves is what drives me. I believe when businesses invest in the people who keep things moving—through better hiring practices, stronger retention, and higher overall satisfaction—they create environments where everyone wins.
By helping leaders build workplaces where people feel valued and aligned with a greater mission, we don’t just strengthen teams—we create space for more meaningful, satisfied lives.
