Creating a Culture of Engagement: The ROI of Transparency and CommunicationAnne Stefanyk
In the last few years, “Engagement” has replaced “Wellness” as the catch-all employee retention buzzword. But what is engagement, exactly? It’s more than just building a killer physical workspace that employees want to perform their work in day to day - it’s building a cultural rapport of give and take; one where employees feel they can add to and be an active part of a brand's forward momentum.
Disengaged employees make up a startling 71% of the workforce in the US - those employees leave havoc in their wake, through negativity, decreased output, and absenteeism. Many employers believe that parting ways with difficult employees will improve their workforce, but the unfortunate reality is that the discontent moves with the departing employee, and can tarnish a company’s reputation with potential talent, and within their industry.
So, given the challenges of building and retaining a staff filled with top talent, what is a company to do? It’s crucial to create a culture of communication and accountability from the top-down. To champion and foster a value-based business, empowering senior leadership to set strategic and cultural goals, and encourage employees to communicate and take action to help meet those goals openly.
Join us to learn top-down strategies for fostering a killer company culture, no matter the company model.
In this session you will learn:
- What employee engagement looks like
- How to hold employees accountable for goals and their outcomes
- The importance of transparency
- Ways to create business value through culture
- How to harness the talents of all personality types
- Tactics to put ideas into action

Cultural-Based Decision Making to Accelerate GrowthMST Solutions
A practical guide on how to leverage cultural-based decision making to accelerate growth
Corporate culture doesn’t have to be an abstract concept; instead, it can be a tool that can be leveraged to improve employee performance, build stronger relationships with customers, create a more cohesive work environment, and accelerate growth.
When business decisions are made with culture in mind you are more likely to align to your strategic goals, do business with like-minded companies, and build more solid foundations for business growth. Join us to discuss how these concepts can positively influence your small to mid-sized organization immediately.
The Best Culture Wins is a case study on how HR and management worked together to build the best culture in a competitive industry. Not only did their culture produce financial results in the top 1% for comparable companies, but they transformed the idea of how leaders define, measure and improve company culture. www.ourthreads.com
