Empowering People Leaders and organizations
to elevate their Cultures & Employer Brands
Empowering People Leaders and inviting humanity back to the workplace.
Our Mission is to elevate Work Culture, amplify Employer Brands, and help more organizations to become recognized as the Gold Standard for exceptional places to work.
People Leaders, pull up a chair and let’s chat.
Being a People Leader is TOUGH. It demands us to be empathetic but also productive. Compassionate but also profitable. When you drift to one side too much there could be high turnover, KPIs not met or projections falling into the red. Or all of it at once. Questions like these begin to take up more and more of your mental real estate:
- “Why are our best employees leaving, and how can we do better?”
- “Do all employees feel equally included and represented in our workplace?”
- “How can we create a Culture that becomes an Industry recognized Gold Standard?”
Imagine for a moment what it would be like if you could become the Gold Standard for top place to work. An organization famous for employee satisfaction and success. Where every employee feels seen, heard, valued, appreciated, motivated, and committed to the Mission. An organization where diversity and Inclusion is not just acknowledged but celebrated. Where every day your entire organization is confident they are creating a meaningful difference and contributing to the Greater Good.
How would it feel to take this dream from a simple vision to your everyday reality?
Many organizations and People Leaders try to do this but here’s where they almost always go wrong:
- Going full steam ahead with the assumption that all team members are on the same page of what a desirable work culture is
- Lack of support for leaders struggling to model and represent the desired change themselves
- Skipping ahead to a better version rather than using the current culture as the starting point
- Not inviting current employee perspectives in the process
- Relying on perks as a band aid solution without addressing the deeper issues
- Failing to create and align systems and processes to the desired change
- No processes in place to monitor or adjust strategies as needed to stay on track
What most HR strategies get wrong when they try to nurture Culture is not starting and ending with ERIE – Engagement, Retention, Inclusion and Equity.
Engagement
Are you creating a culture where your team feels supported? Do they know what purpose their work carries within the organization’s big picture success? As a leader, it’s up to us to create an environment of transparency and open communication, where every voice is heard and valued. When we have our team’s back, we empower them to take on work that aligns with their skills and passions.
Retention
Are we learning from exit interviews and acting on those insights to prevent future departures? By conducting regular pulse surveys and stay interviews, we can get ahead of losing staff by addressing concerns and making necessary changes. Let’s ensure we’re actively listening and responding to our team’s needs to boost that oh so important retention.
Equity
Are we promoting an equitable workplace where everyone has access to professional development, fair leave policies, and benefits, including parental leave? Our handbooks, promotion practices, recognition of cultural holidays, and efforts to close pay gaps all contribute to equity. From recruitment to onboarding, it’s crucial to create a positive employee experience from day one.
Inclusion
Creating a more engaged, retained, equitable, and inclusive workplace is not just necessary, it’s transformative. By taking the first step towards a better Work Culture, you are fulfilling your responsibility as a TRUE People Leader. One who is committed and dedicated to a work environment where everyone feels seen, valued, heard, and inspired to contribute their best.
