Today’s workforce cares!
Employees believe workplace culture is critical to helping them thrive in the workplace. Majority of the leaders believe that an inclusive workplace culture is vital to the success of their business.
3/4 of leaders feel they create empowering environments
where people have a sense of belonging,
yet only 2/5th employees agree.
18% of the employees do not feel included in their organizations.
So, there is a perception gap. And the misalignment of perceptions between leaders and employees is costing USD 3.7 million in global profits.
If we could narrow the Perception Gap by 50%,
- Global profits would up by 33%
- Proportion of women who feel like a key member of their team with real influence over decisions would rise by 43 %
- Retention rate of women would up by 5%
How could organizations narrow this perception gap ?
1. Bold Leadership – Leaders must truly believe that culture matters and prioritize it.
Creating a culture of equality must be at the top of the business agenda. we must build a roadmap and hold leaders accountable to it.
2. Go beyond the data. Leaders should engage in a meaningful, continuous dialogue with employees.
3. Empowering Environment – Encourage and cultivate Culture Makers
*Culture Makers exist in every organization and at every level. Some may be obvious leaders, while others may need a nudge to step forward.
