Are You Ready to Unlock Company Culture Change? Start with This Critical Action

In our decades of work with organizations and groups through keynotes, workshops, and private sessions, a recurring theme began to surface that I observed and wrote about in Contagious Culture: Show Up, Set the Tone, and Intentionally Create an Organization that Thrives and Contagious You: Unlock Your Power to Influence, Lead, and Create the Impact You Want.  This key element proved to be the first step that set up companies for success or destined them for continued struggles.
 
Energy is contagious — for better or for worse — which means that each of us has a personal responsibility to building awareness to our energetic presence and impact — most importantly the highest level of leadership in an organization. (Looking at you, C-suite and executives.)

The IEP Eco-System: Creating Sustainable Growth in Your Company Culture

In our previous article, we shared insights around focusing on the importance of energy accountability with your leadership teams and workforce. 

 

With current trends showing that employee engagement and workplace culture energy will continue to decline in 2024, prioritizing a sustainable growth plan and company-wide approach is essential to the health of your organization, your people, and your well-being globally.  

 

How can you encourage the importance of energy, well-being, work-life balance, and modeling self-care in your organization while maintaining bottom-line results and performance standards? Fortunately, these two things, while seemingly competing priorities, work together to strengthen the sustainability and impact of the organization.
