“When employees feel engaged in a dynamic and caring work culture, their performance, pride and loyalty skyrocket the company and its clients to success.” William Craig, founder of WebFX.
It’s kind of a domino effect: a clear and compelling purpose informs our values, our values drive our behaviours, and our behaviours influence our culture.

Change can be good. Variation in our working lives keeps us fresh and is a key part of development for leaders and stakeholders alike. Constant change though, can be less helpful.
