Workplace Culture: How to Grow and Foster a Positive Culture in Your Family Business
Presented by Jackie Lauer

Family businesses are known for their strong, distinctive cultures — cultures that are often heavily influenced by the vision, style and values of the founder and carefully maintained through the generations. These cultures bind employees to a common cause and foster loyal and stable workforces. If managed well, a strong culture can prove to be a major competitive advantage for a family business seeking to attract and retain the best talent in order to achieve sustainable long-term goals.

A strong culture can also be a liability. In an ever-changing business environment where digital transformation and business model disruption is inescapable, every family business must examine whether its culture is fit for purpose. The good news is that company culture can be measured and actively managed, enabling leaders to grasp new opportunities and take their organizations along with them.

Jackie will take you through an understanding of what is workplace culture,  how do high-performance businesses manage and lead through and with culture and what insights does neuroscience and positive psychology tell us about relationships and workplace cultures.
