2027 Clermont Classroom - Class 6: Designing Workplace Culture & Engagement: Practical Strategies for Business Leaders

Description

Workplace culture and employee engagement are often discussed, but many organizations struggle to translate these concepts into practical actions. In this session, participants will explore how culture and engagement are shaped through everyday decisions, leadership behaviors, and workplace systems.

Using a design thinking approach, this interactive session will help business leaders identify what is currently influencing their workplace culture and learn practical ways to intentionally design environments where employees feel connected, valued, and motivated to contribute.

Participants will leave with simple tools and frameworks they can use immediately to strengthen engagement, improve communication, and build a culture that supports both employee experience and business success.

Participants will learn how to:

• Understand the connection between workplace culture and employee engagement and how leadership behaviors and systems influence both.
• Identify practical ways to assess and improve culture using employee feedback and observation of workplace behaviors.
• Apply a simple design thinking framework to create small, intentional changes that strengthen engagement within their teams.
