Workplace Culture – It’s Importance Today

Culture is as important as your business strategy because it either strengthens or undermines your objectives. A positive culture is significant, especially because:

• It attracts talent 
• It drives engagement and retention 
• It impacts happiness and satisfaction 
• It affects performance 

Research shows us that employee happiness and satisfaction are linked to strong workplace culture and organizations with stronger cultures outperform their competitors financially and are generally more successful. Our culture impacts how employees interact with their work, each other, and the organization. So, we need to make sure we are offering a variety of ways for them to speak to us and we need to make sure we are listening. AND, we need to make sure our managers are ready for this new environment and the needs of our employees. Intentionality will be key!

This program will give you some suggestions on steps you can take back and use right away and items for additional conversations with others to even create some processes and ideas going forward.
