Culture Is King: Laying a Strong ‘People Foundation’ for Business Success
Even the best-laid strategy will fall short without a healthy workplace culture and strong employee engagement. Learn from the lived experiences of a senior organizational development leader on how to best assess, build and maintain the culture your organization needs to achieve—and exceed—its goals. Be inspired by a case study of an organization that went from having over 50% employee turnover and abysmal employee opinion survey results to winning state and local “Best Place to Work” honors. See firsthand how training and HR can be key drivers in shaping organizational culture and, ultimately, business results.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to assess current culture and conduct conversations with senior leaders.
- Learn how to prepare and implement a plan that drives behaviors that lead to achieving business objectives.
- Understand how to collect meaningful metrics that demonstrate progress on the plan.
