Culture By Design, Not by Default
High-performing organizations don’t leave culture to chance. Our THRIVE Culture Framework helps you build a workplace where people thrive with intention, clarity, and purpose.
Why Culture Matters
Culture Is Your Competitive Advantage
The culture of your workplace directly impacts employee engagement, productivity, and business results. Yet, most leaders struggle to build cultures that drive performance.
Toxic Work Cultures Drive Employee Turnover
Toxic workplaces are 10.4 times more likely to contribute to attrition than compensation.
– MIT Sloan Management Review
Competitive salaries are no longer enough to retain talent. Employees leave when they feel undervalued, disrespected, or are stuck in a negative work environment.
Employee Disengagement is Costing You Money
Disengaged employees cost the world $8.8 trillion annually.
– Gallup 2023 Report
Disengaged employees tend to lose productivity, poor customer service, and increased absenteeism – all of which impact a company’s bottom line.
Psychological Safety is the #1 Predictor of Team Performance
“More than any smarts or experience, what determined a team's success was how safe its members felt taking risks, showing vulnerability, and collaborating.”
– Google’s Project Aristotle
Teams with high psychological safety outperform others by fostering a culture of openness, inclusion, and collaboration.
Leadership Inconsistency Creates Confusion & Distrust
Only 31% of employees agree that their company’s leadership lives the core values of the business.
– Gallup
Effective leadership creates alignment and engagement. Inconsistent leadership breeds disconnection and disinterest – leading to poor execution and high attrition.
Unclear Values Lead to Unpredictable Behaviors
Culture is shaped either by ‘default’ or by ‘design.’
– Patrick Lencioni
If the company does not intentionally define its values, it becomes vulnerable to toxic work cultures. Lack of clear values leads to inconsistency, politics, and a lack of accountability.
The Cost of Ignoring Culture is Higher Than Fixing It
86% of C-Suite leaders say culture is critical to business success.
– PwC
Companies that actively design and nurture their culture achieve higher levels of productivity, customer satisfaction, and financial success.
The Solution:
We help organizations design, align and embed cultures that drive performance and engagement with the THRIVE Culture Framework.
A Proven Framework for Culture Transformation
The THRIVE Culture Framework is a step-by-step methodology designed to help organizations create high-performing, people-first cultures. It ensures alignment between leadership, employees and organizational goal.
T
Trust
We begin by listening. A culture survey helps us understand the current climate, but transformation goes further. We equip leaders with the skills to build psychological safety, ensuring people feel safe to speak up, take risks, and contribute fully.
H
Habits
Culture lives in behavior. We identify and embed the Keystone Habits that shape “how we do things around here.” These daily practices become the visible rhythm of the culture, reinforced through stories, rituals, and accountability.
R
Results
A thriving culture is aligned around one Mission-Critical Goal—a unifying objective that drives focus, alignment, and progress. This clarity increases engagement, helping every person connect their daily actions to the organization’s greater success.
I
Inspiration
High-performing cultures don’t just set direction—they build a high-purpose environment. Leaders define a compelling vision and purpose, then bring it to life through storytelling. Teams are invited into a shared journey through the power of public narrative.
V
Voice
People support what they help create. We empower individuals at all levels to contribute their voice, co-create solutions, and lead cultural change. Ownership replaces compliance, and engagement deepens through shared responsibility.
E
Embed
Culture change only lasts when it’s built into the system. We embed the culture through rituals, storytelling, feedback loops, and digital learning, ensuring that behaviors are sustained, celebrated, and continuously reinforced.
