Yes, organizational culture can be measured, but not the way you measure an absenteeism rate, revenue or the number of voluntary departures. It does not boil down to a score out of ten, a few values on a wall or an annual survey sent to employees. Culture is measured...

A psychologically safe team is not a team where everyone always agrees, where expectations are low or where difficult conversations are avoided. It is a team in which people can ask a question, admit a mistake, ask for help, express disagreement or flag a risk without...

Organizational health is not measured only through the absenteeism rate or an annual engagement survey. It reveals itself above all in the everyday experience of work: what people have to accomplish, the latitude they have, the support they receive, the recognition of...

“Why aren’t our wellness programs enough?” It is a question many organizations end up asking themselves. They offer an employee assistance program, host a talk on resilience, propose a lunchtime yoga session and send a caring message reminding everyone of the...

“Why invest in this when budgets are tight?” It is a legitimate question. When an organization has to juggle demanding deadlines, financial pressure, vacant positions and a priority list that seems to reproduce itself overnight, organizational health can look...
