For me the answer would be to leave me alone. Think of it like this - every company has some slogan like "be a part of such and such amazing this and that". To me, this is the opposite of the relationship I want. I don't want my life to be part of your company. I want your company to be a medium-sized part of my life. Some of my colleagues might end up being my friends. That's fine. In general though, I expect to give you 8 hours of my life per day and receive money and associated benefits of being an employee. Some colleagues might be friends, but the company is not my friend. I don't want the company to care for me personally or stick its nose in my personal life. My work and my personal life are separate. The best thing you can do is respect my boundaries.
