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. We created CultureWorx and our Culture Performance Management™ solutions to help you measure and manage your company culture with integrity.
Whether you attend to your company culture or not, it will impact your organization. We ensure that impact 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.
Our Culture Team
We know what it takes. We know what works. We know this because we’ve done it for decades.
