Every organization has values—but not all of them show up in how people actually work together.

This session is for leaders who want to take a clear-eyed look at their team culture and explore how values can be more than just words. We’ll dig into practical frameworks, share examples from across organizations, and spend time co-creating policies that reflect the kind of culture we’re trying to build.You'll leave with a few simple tools, a fresh perspective, and some ideas you can bring back to your team right away. Creating a thriving workplace culture is essential for the success and well-being of both your team and your business.
