Benefits Can’t Fix a Broken Culture
presented by Taylor Bridges &
Mary Beth Ferrante, PCC
Reimagining the future of work also includes reimagining how and what policies, benefits, and programs are provided to support the whole employee. But for any new policy, benefit, or program rollout to be successful, we must first address the company culture.
Join Taylor Bridges of Bolton and Mary Beth Ferrante, Managing Partner of WRK/360, as they discuss how a broken or weak culture leads to lower utilization, decreased leadership buy-in, and subsequently less investment in programs or benefits that support their employees’ needs. We will explore how weak cultures are easily exposed through "canaries in the coal mine" e.g., working parents and caregivers. The result often leads to lower engagement, worse productivity, performance, and ultimately retention challenges.
The answer is clear: we must break the cycle and improve culture.
Topics include:
- Assessing Your Company Culture & Understanding Why It Matters
- How To Recognize Your Company's "Canaries," & Leverage The Voice Of The Employee
- Why It Is Critical To Co-Create Change With Your Employees
- 5 Action Steps To Strengthen Your Company Culture
