Our Story
Most workplace culture tools are reactive, static, and bottom-up—asking employees to rate their satisfaction with the organization’s leadership team or environment without doing anything to cultivate it.
So we created CultureWorx and our Culture Performance Management™ solutions to help you measure and manage your company culture with integrity.
Whether you manage your company culture or not, it exists, healthy or unhealthy, and will impact your organization. CultureWorx helps ensure that impact of your company culture is positive and scalable, enabling a strong employee experience and business performance.
Based on empirical research, social learning theory, and years of implementation and results, CultureWorx was founded by organizational leadership and culture experts who have helped companies gain traction with business culture for decades.
Upon experiencing the extraordinary impact Culture Performance Management™ has had on people, productivity, and bottom lines, we packaged it to help more organizations transform their company culture into a competitive advantage.
