Rid the Organization of an Inconsistent Culture to Improve Employee Engagement

Don’t let a confusing culture leave your employees in disarray.

Book This Workshop

Inconsistent cultures that are not intentional and/or are organically-grown often:

  • Become weak and ineffective.
  • Lead to misaligned decisions, practices, policies, and processes that disengage employees and negatively impact business metrics.
  • Result in high expenses related to things that don’t matter to employees.
  • Promote a poor reputation in the market, which is costly and time consuming to change.
  • Cause poor employee commitment, leading to employees not making decisions in the best interest of the organization.

Identifying and promoting a dominant culture can:

  • Drive employee engagement. Culture has the second greatest impact on employee engagement out of all other engagement drivers.
  • Attract and retain the right people.
  • Provide a good foundation for building interesting and impactful onboarding programs.
  • Fuel employee performance and productivity.
  • Increase retention rates. Culture has the second greatest correlation with employee intent to stay.
