When the pandemic closed physical offices last year, many companies began to ask, “How do we define our company’s culture without those free snacks in the break room and games in the office?”

What we’ve learned over the past year is that company culture aligns more with how your people live your organization’s core values, mission, and vision. The benefits of having a strong company culture include:

  • Improved employee retention
  • Increased productivity
  • Attracting better talent to your organization

But many companies aren’t there yet. When polled, 66% of our webinar attendees said their company culture needs improvement.

In this webinar, we shared how you can define or redefine your organization’s culture by investing in your people and their personal and professional growth.
