Today is Native Women's Equal Pay Day, a reminder of the wage gap that Native American women face. Native women earn only 58 cents for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men—reflecting inequalities rooted in both gender and heritage. At Aligned at Work, we stand for equity across all communities. Thanks to @EqualPayToday and partners for their work in addressing this crucial issue.

At Aligned at Work?, we believe that forward-thinking leaders of organizations can create workplaces where humans actually WANT to work. Most online sources agree that company culture includes the beliefs, values, practices, and behaviors of the leaders and folks who work there. We used to talk about organizational climate, which was what it felt like to work for a company or leader. You’ll notice that we keep talking about leaders. We believe that leaders set the tone and the practices at work. They set the standards of which behaviors are acceptable and which ones are not. Team members also set norms and standards, but the leader “signs off” either overtly by endorsing or denouncing behaviors, or covertly by doing or saying nothing. We find that the old adage that “people leave leaders, not organizations” is still true in many cases. And turnover is costly! So how can an organization understand what its culture is? Here’s the EXPLORE process we use with our clients at Aligned at Work?. We start with an Executive Strategy Session for the company culture decision-makers. We survey company employees at all levels for their opinions on culture and current practices. We do Stakeholder Interviews and Focus Groups. We look at metrics and how performance is measured. What kind of training or team member and leader development do you do? What are the company’s communication norms? We compile all the data, quantitative and qualitative, and build a report that identifies the gaps, your strengths, any easy things that you can do yourself, and areas where we feel there are actions to be taken. We identify your next steps, and your budget for getting the work done. We co-create the outcomes with you. Culture shifting takes time and is best done through decisive and steady steps forward. It REQUIRES support from the CEO throughout the organization. It is not a flawlessly smooth process. But things do get better, and we measure progress along the way. We support you in a number of ways – facilitation of critical meetings, training for your leaders and teams, executive and leadership coaching, staff augmentation, and more. Transform your culture. Call us.

Happy Global Company Culture Day! Today, we celebrate the importance of creating strong, inclusive, and positive workplace cultures. A thriving company culture fosters collaboration, innovation, and belonging for all employees, leading to greater success and satisfaction. How does your company build a culture where everyone can thrive? #GlobalCompanyCultureDay #InclusiveLeadership #WorkplaceCulture #Teamwork #Belonging #EmployeeEngagement
