ENERGIZING PEOPLE FOR PERFORMANCE: BUILDING YOUR WORKPLACE CULTURE
ENERGIZING PEOPLE FOR PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
A healthy, positive workplace culture empowers people and transforms business outcomes. That transformation happens when leaders recognize how culture is co-created daily—through the values, behaviors, and relationships that embrace people’s potential to collaborate and do good together.
This two-day session focuses on the practices that distinguish the world’s best organizations. We’ll explore the differences between workplace experiences that satisfy versus those that engage and inspire. We’ll review examples from companies that achieve extraordinary results while maintaining cultures that retain and attract top talent. We’ll discuss ways people at all levels can communicate with authenticity, transparency, and visibility—even in fully remote and hybrid workplaces. Ultimately, we’ll define specific steps you can take to positively impact your culture while improving your capacity to create meaningful change.
