Join two senior researchers from the O.C. Tanner Institute as they share the latest workplace culture data from the 2027 Global Culture Report. Last year, our research demonstrated that the key to cultivating high performance in a competitive business environment is to balance high expectations with high support for employees. But what does this look like in practice? How can organizations carefully manage expectations and support in a sustainable way?

In short, culture matters. By supporting compassion at the structural level and encouraging a culture of not just learning, but growth, organizations can achieve a sustainable level of high performance.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • The latest model for cultivating a holistic approach to employee growth
  • A framework for embedding compassion into the structure of your organization
  • How recognition functions as a practical tool for reinforcing practices associated with compassion and growth
