Why do 47% of employees cite company culture as the primary reason they are looking for new jobs? (According to Hays, the world’s largest specialist recruitment agency)

The answer lies in the disconnect between what companies think they’re offering and what employees are experiencing.

Transactional relationships may seem straightforward, but they’re not sustainable. You can’t expect engagement, loyalty, and top performance from employees who feel like they’re just a number.

Instead, invest in a culture that values every individual. Create an environment where everyone feels they belong. This isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s a strategic imperative.

Remember, you don’t just get what you pay for. You get what you invest in. A culture of inclusivity, trust, and recognition is an investment that will yield dividends in the form of engaged, loyal, and high-performing employees.

Your organization will save money because it’s retaining its workforce. Its reputation will grow positively because the care and prioritization you give to your employees will be felt by your customers.

Company culture is the invisible thread that binds us together. It’s the heartbeat of an organization. It’s the difference between a thriving, engaged workforce and a disengaged one that’s constantly looking for the exit.

Almost half of your workforce could be on the brink of leaving because they don’t feel valued, welcomed, or heard.

We can do better. We MUST do better.

I’ve seen the transformative power of a healthy workplace culture. It’s not just about the bottom line. It’s about creating an environment where everyone feels they belong. Where trust is the currency and recognition is the norm.

If you’re only interested in a transactional relationship with your employees, don’t expect loyalty, engagement, or top performance. Only when you invest in a better relationship with your workforce will you be able to create a healthy, inclusive culture. It’s impossible to have a healthy culture when you don’t have a healthy relationship with your workforce.

Investing in an inclusive workplace culture is not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do. This is why I help leaders to cultivate an inclusive workplace through my two-hour live training courses, intercultural sensitivity training for managers, event speaking, outplacement services and more. Creating an inclusive workplace culture is not an overnight task. It should be weaved into your strategic plan and felt in every part of your organization.

According to a study by Hays, 71% of employees would take a pay cut to work for a company with a better cultural fit.

How are your measuring the success of the steps you’ve already taken?

Have you asked your employees what an inclusive workplace culture would look like to them?

What additional steps can you take to improve your company culture?
