Together, we strive to bring common clarity to the chaos and confusion by partnering with leaders and organizations to uncover those areas that are creating stumbling blocks and turn them into stepping stones. Remember, the depth of your preparation determines the height of your performance.

Is HR Helping or Hindering Culture
A survey conducted by Gartner of HR leaders on their priorities for 2024 revealed that for the first time, organizational culture is in the top five priorities second only to leader and manager development. The survey further revealed that the reason culture is new to the top five priorities for HR leaders this year is, "largely because HR leaders believe they don’t measure culture effectively nor do they know how to truly drive culture change."
Wait, what?
Leadership and culture are two sides of the same coin that can be an enabler of success or it can create an environment where an organization flounders. HR is a critical function in organizations so this begs the question: Why has culture only now popped up in the top five HR priorities for 2024?
Doc and Rich discuss the HR role in culture in this episode of Protect Your Patch.
