Fun at work? Can that even exist? Actually, yes. And some of the most successful companies have found ways not only to have fun, but to make it a foundational part of their culture – a culture in which people are excited to show up, their passions are fulfilled, and they thrive in their work. We’re not talking about having a ping pong table in the breakroom (although that is pretty fun). It goes deeper than that – a sense of comradery embedded in the culture.

When applied to the concept of organizational culture, some ask what comes first – the business plan or the culture? The answer may surprise you. When starting a new business, we have a vision of what we want it to be, and what we want to be along with it. If we are intentional about our culture, these identities inevitably shape our values, our mission statement, and the culture itself. They are the driving force behind our dec ..read more

Are your employees disengaged? Most likely, a good portion would say yes. In the past, employee disengagement has been viewed as a productivity issue – and more recently a Millennial issue. However, the truth is it goes much deeper than how productive someone is at work, and certainly stretches across all generations.     Consider this:   According to 2001 Gallup Study on the American workplace, when asked how engaged they were at work: 19% describes themselves as “actively disengaged.” These are not people just sitting around not contributing, they are proactively sabotagi ..read more

Our intentions either drive us to succeed or can be the root of our demise. In business, our intentions may be driven by profit, by wanting to be the best, or the first to market.
