According to SHRM’s 2022 Global Culture Research Report^[1],

• 72% of employees who describe their company culture as average have thought about quitting.
• 46% of that group report they dread going to work.
• And of the 32% who describe their culture as good, more than 1 in 5 had actively searched for a new job within the last six months.

Today’s workforce values the transparency, recognition, leadership, teamwork, care, fairness, engagement, and sense of purpose that are the hallmarks of an amazing culture^[2]. Therefore, if an amazing culture matters to your leaders and to your organization at least at the level that it matters to your people, you will be able to retain your employees, attract top talent, and drive the kind of engagement that drives high-performance^[3].

After 20+ years of asking employees to describe an amazing organizational culture, Tony Chatman knows that they rarely describe their own culture. Instead, they describe an imaginary culture found in that anthology of fairy tales you gave them on Onboarding Day: the employee handbook—a well-meaning but, unfortunately, aspirational document that typically starts with a mission statement and then describes the healthy culture that would provide for the fulfilling of the mission.

But an amazing culture isn’t about your mission;
it’s about your people and creating a place for them to shine.

There are as many diverse industries as there are issues facing those industries, but they all have one thing in common: people. After 1100+ presentations and programs in the US, Canada, the UK, and Bermuda in tech, STEM, finance, media, law enforcement, government, military, healthcare, nonprofit, manufacturing, education, finance, and associations, Tony Chatman can tell you those people in all those diverse industries also have something in common: 

 They want to matter. 

They want to be seen. 

And they want to shine.

If you are not seeing the level of engagement, productivity, collaboration, creativity, and profit that are the hallmarks of a high-performing organization, you did not hire the wrong person. Your employees did not suddenly get lazy or distracted. They aren’t too old, there is nothing inherently whatever about their ethnicity, and there is nothing wrong with their generation; you simply have a culture problem.

Culture problems understandably can appear daunting, overwhelming, and even impossible to solve, especially if you’re on the inside, facing them alone.

But you don’t have to face them alone.

Tony Chatman and his team have made it their mission to help you light up your culture by equipping and empowering everyone in your organization to drive positive change and create an engaged and inclusive workplace environment.

It all starts from the moment you reach out to them.

Forced to attend. Unwilling to leave.
