Build a Thriving Workplace Culture

Based on our book, The Culture Question, this workshop provides a practical guide for how every organization can become a great place to work. A healthy workplace culture enables organizations to successfully accomplish their mission and strategy while supporting the engagement and well-being of the people inside them – and the good news is that culture is something leaders can influence.

This workshop explores six key pillars of a healthy workplace culture: communicating purpose and values, providing meaningful work, focusing leadership on people, building genuine relationships, creating peak-performing teams, and managing conflict constructively. You’ll also gain a clear framework for assessing your current culture, envisioning something better, and taking practical steps toward lasting change.

What You'll Learn

Strengthen your professional toolkit with strategies you can apply right away. The objectives below outline the core competencies you'll build through this training.

Culture Foundations

Develop a clear understanding of what workplace culture actually is, how it forms, and why it has such a strong impact on engagement, retention, and results.

The Six Pillars

Explore the six key elements that research shows consistently distinguish healthy, high-performing workplace cultures from those that struggle.

Leadership Behaviours That Shape Culture

Understand how everyday leadership choices – not just values statements or policies – create the culture your team actually experiences.

Employee Engagement

Learn what drives genuine engagement versus surface-level compliance, and what leaders can do to create conditions where people invest discretionary effort.

Team Alignment

Develop strategies for building shared direction – where people understand not just their own roles but how their work connects to something larger.

Build approaches for maintaining a positive culture through leadership transitions, growth, and change, rather than treating culture as a one-time initiative.
