This document outlines a proposed methodology for conducting a company-wide culture assessment and change initiative. It discusses using market salary data and internal equity to adjust compensation. It proposes a four phase solution to culture change involving equipping leaders, aligning systems, engaging employees, and measuring results. Key aspects of the proposed changes include improving employee engagement, implementing an integrated culture, and outlining strategies for the human resources lifecycle from pre-boarding to off-boarding. The goal is to improve business results like revenues, profits, and stock prices through building a strong, aligned organizational culture.
