The Challenges You Face

48 million US workers voluntarily quit their jobs in 2021.

40% of today's employees will quit in the next 6 months.

Are you ready for that?

Even before the pandemic hit us hard, many leaders like you have been puzzled by the failure to retain top talent. Additionally, we leaders struggled to improve low employee engagement numbers, less-than-ideal customer service ratings, and many other traditional metrics. Throw in“ "The Great Resignation” – over 48 million US workers voluntarily quit their jobs in 2021 – and many business leaders end up feeling frustrated.

So frustrated, you may be thinking:

“It’s a sign of the times.
There's nothing I can do about it.
People don't want to work."

Wrong. People do want to work.

They just want to work for good companies and inspiring leaders.

Toxic work cultures are the top factor driving employees to quit today.

You read that right. The research that led to Good Comes First shows that workplace respect is most important to today’s employees.

In today's workplace, employees are fueled by a reprioritization of sorts. After working from home and finally having a say in where, when, and how their work got done, people – good people ready to do good work – want something different. Specifically, they want to work for managers and colleagues and employers who treat them with the respect they’ve earned. 

Are you still not sure leaders should focus on respect just as much as they do results?

Consider the findings from two comprehensive studies by none other than MIT:


And yet too many employers still don’t prioritize workplace respect. Many, in fact, still seem to believe employees are replaceable. And too many old-school leaders still seem to think their employees have no choice but to tolerate toxic work conditions.

Wrong again.

Don't let a toxic work culture drive your
employees out the door.

Let's work together to create an uncompromising company culture in your organization — one that equally values respect and results. Schedule a free coaching call with us today!

How We Help You

Culture
Consulting

Expert guidance on modeling respect

Mark and Chris work closely with senior leaders to help them define their company's desired uncompromising culture, then to align and refine that culture so respect is as important as results.

Culture
Coaching

Define/refine culture leadership skills

Very few formal leaders have been asked to demonstrate strong culture leadership skills. Very few have those skills. Mark and Chris coach formal leaders to demonstrate those skills.

Culture
Assessments

Make values practical & measurable

Just as performance is monitored regularly, values alignment must be monitored daily. Formal values surveys help leaders understand employees' perceptions of their values alignment.

Employees of all generations desire and deserve work cultures where they are respected and validated for their ideas, efforts, and contributions—every day.

Let Chris and Mark teach you to how to build and sustain an uncompromising culture! 

WORK WITH US. YOU'LL BE IN GOOD COMPANY.
