Dirigo Professional Development - Crafting a Winning Workplace Culture

Description

Tuesday: June 17, 2025

Ideology
Crafting a Winning Workplace Culture

The Challenge:
Workplace Culture is the singularly most important asset an organization can have. Quite simply, culture is a “way of life” for a group of people. Within any organization, this way of life is accepted, generally without much thought, and is passed along from person to person through communication and imitation. Every organization is unique in the way it lives, breathes and executes. Understanding this—and what your culture should be—is critically important for a leader.

Workshop Description:
Too often organizations struggle to develop a winning culture because it’s hard to control. It’s like trying to push water; it ends up flowing to the lowest points and sinking into the cracks. Culture is similar. You can’t control, mandate or manage it. Rather, you have to nurture and hone it.
For more than two decades, Dirigo has helped teams they’ve led shape and evolve the tenets of a winning culture. This conviction to cultivate a strong, healthy, robust culture resulted in their previous organization being named a Best of Places to Work company for seven consecutive years, even as the organization soared to more than 250 employees scattered geographically. This interactive, experiential workshop focuses on building a superior culture and teaches the way ideology, people and experiences shape environment.

Outcomes:
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand the core components of ideology—vision, purpose, mission, and core values—that create engaged, empowered workplace cultures.
• Understand the varied types of workplace culture.
• Understand the core ingredients to a healthy workplace culture.
