03/14/23 • 22 min

Culture plays a significant role in workplace psychological safety. As organizations stabilize and re-engage their workforce, following the last three years of disruption due to the global pandemic, they have an opportunity to assess the elements of culture in their teams. Strong leaders must approach these culture changes from a perspective of inclusion; inviting employees to actively participate in conversations about the kinds of culture necessary for them to perform at optimal levels.
Join Shelly as she shares the story of one organization’s journey to understanding the impact of culture and how it takes leading by example to be successful. She also has a take away exercise for leaders who want to explore the current elements of their culture in comparison to the values, beliefs, and behaviors they want to see in the culture that's supporting their team.
