Why Strong Organizational Culture Matters

Drive Employee Connection

According to Gallup, employees who feel connected to their organization’s culture are 4x as likely to be engaged at work, show a 4.5x increase in performance, are 62% less likely to feel burnt out at work, and are 43% less likely to be watching for job opportunities or actively looking for another job.

Boost Performance & Engagement

Culture drives talent decisions. In a Glassdoor survey, 77% of job seekers said they consider culture before applying, with over half ranking it above salary. Flexibility is also key. According to a Deloitte survey, 94% of workers say they would benefit from work flexibility.

Embrace Innovation

Organizations with inclusive cultures are 6x more innovative, 8x more likely to achieve better business results, and 2x more likely to meet or exceed financial targets, according to Deloitte research.

Outperform the Market

Organizations that successfully increase the capacity of workers to grow personally, use their imagination, and think deeply are: 1.8 times more likely to report better financial results, 1.4 times more likely to say they are creating broad value for customers, community, and society, and 1.6 times more likely to say they provide workers with meaningful work
