To increase morale, productivity, and profit, creating the right culture and boosting employee engagement is essential in today’s competitive environment. Yet 75% of culture change initiatives fail. Why?
Traditional culture change initiatives rely on metrics that give a snapshot of employee satisfaction, engagement, and productivity without revealing the mindsets that actually drive behavior. For example, typical employee engagement surveys measure “favorability” towards aspects of a company and its culture, but do not reveal the “why” behind the survey results.
