The economics are impossible to ignore

Here’s the business case leaders can no longer sidestep:

- Disengaged employees cost the economy billions
- High turnover is expensive
- Workplace stress has organisational and social impact
- Low motivation obliterates productivity
- Poor culture kills innovation faster than any competitor

Good culture, however, delivers returns that CFOs love:

- Higher productivity
- Faster decision making
- Reduced conflict
- Better customer experience
- Improved retention
- Stronger employer brand

2026 is the year smart organisations see the financial value of investing in their culture.
