Event Description

There are conceptions that engaged and healthy company culture should feel tightly-knit and agile, like a family or sports team. However, this mindset and work environment can sometimes be detrimental to the growth of an organization and its members. It is important to be aware of how a specific culture can have short-term positive effects, but unintended long-term negative effects on a team and everyone within it. In this session, we will go over a case study of a company with a strong family culture and its highlights and challenges. We will learn and discuss where and how we can invest our resources to leverage family culture strengths while making necessary changes for the sustainable growth of the company and its people.
