The Culture Crisis: Why Workplaces Are Failing Their Employees

Current data about employee wellbeing tells a grim story. Gallup found that only 23% of employees feel engaged at work, and 59% are emotionally detached. These numbers point to a crisis in workplace cultures. The result? Burnout, high turnover, and bottom-line losses. Deloitte shows that organizations with strong cultures are 21% more profitable, yet most companies do not invest in building these cultures. For this to happen, employers must go beyond rosy narratives about fostering employee wellbeing and align actions with rhetoric.   Our guest today is Al Curnow, Vice President of CultureWise. In this podcast, Al will discuss the role of workplace culture in fostering employee engagement and why C Suites should change course and make culture a priority as a bottom line business imperative, including: Research on building truly effective workplace cultures How companies can align their practices with this evidence The gap between leadership and employee experience Tangible ways culture impacts a company’s bottom line  Why the culture crisis stems from poor leadership  Organizations that get it right (and what they do differently) Our goal is to avoid typical “how-to” conversations about culture and ask hard questions: What’s wrong with workplace cultures today? Why are so many employees feeling left behind? And how can organizations truly fix it? Click here to learn more about CultureWise.
