Why Must Companies Become a Destination Workplace™ & Improve the Employee Experience (EX) Today?

The EX you provide is either contaminating, or contributing to your success.


According to SHRM, 1 in 5 Americans have left a job in the past five years due to bad company culture, costing an estimated $223 billion. Workplace culture is just one of the five main experiences employees have while working for a company, and culture alone will determine whether people stay or go. With today's 'Great Resignation' and 'Life Reset' mental shift, providing a unique EX is no longer a suggestion... it is a MUST in order to predictably attract, motivate, engage and retain talent. Remember...words don't define your company culture; employee experiences do.


It's time for a workplace culture shift, and when you get this right, it becomes your biggest competitive advantage. It's what makes employees say, "I love it here!" and "I want to work there!" 


With over 30 years of combined expertise and research, we’ve developed a process for creating the
Five Employee Experiences that help you become a Destination Workplace™; one that inspires purpose vs paycheck mentality, provides a sense of belonging, promotes growth opportunities, fosters employee well-being, encourages recognition, and develops  future leaders.

THE 5 EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCES THAT MAKE YOU A DESTINATION WORKPLACE™

Our proprietary process takes you from a dull or toxic culture, to a purpose-driven workplace that people don’t want to leave. The 5 EX helps you build a thriving company culture that drives growth, engagement, accountability & loyalty.
