Recent Columbia University and Duke University research revealed a clear link between company culture and financial performance.

A staggering 92% of CEOs and CFOs agreed that enhancing their organisation's culture would significantly increase its value in terms of employee engagement and job satisfaction and drive better financial and operational outcomes.

In a recent MIT Sloan Management Review webinar, an esteemed senior lecturer from MIT Sloan emphasised the crucial role of culture, stating, "Culture matters. A good culture can enhance performance, while a negative culture can severely hinder it. Perhaps the most intriguing finding from the survey was that only about 1 in 6 executives believed their culture was where it needs to be."

Do you agree with the research findings conducted by Columbia University and Duke University?

Machine learning, hybrid work, and even layoffs can offer companies a chance to promote a positive work culture.

"Transforming meeting culture is about unlocking our team's true potential and fostering quality interactions. It is essential to raise workplace productivity and well-being standards." - Matthew Iustini, Director at PARTNER.

Research shows that our brains need time to digest and recover between meetings. By rushing from one meeting to the next, we subject our teams to stress, burnout and decreased cognitive abilities.

Moreover, unproductive meetings contribute to this drain on productivity. Meetings without clear agendas, moderators, or goals often leave participants feeling drained and unfulfilled. The lack of structure and purpose wastes valuable time and demoralises employees.
