The Connection Between Leadership, Culture & Sustainable Growth

Has your organization been experiencing growth—and do all signs point to even more ahead? While growth can expand your organization’s service delivery capacity, proactively transforming your culture can strengthen the experience of your employees, who are working to sustain and advance the impact created in the communities you serve. Intentionally transforming organizational culture requires visionary leaders who can grasp external forces to stimulate growth and who understand how to align strategy and people management to achieve financial and mission success. Investing in your organization’s culture can increase employee engagement, retention and ultimately, talent attraction. At Social Impact Talent Advisors (SITA), we know that highly engaged employees are more likely to have above-average productivity and that organizations primarily with engaged employees outperform those with unengaged employees.

The imperative for social enterprise leaders is clear: If you want to advance your mission amid unprecedented growth, prioritizing organizational culture is one of several critical steps to take. Our Cultural Needs Assessment provides you with a clear understanding of what’s not working and where change is most needed. Throughout the process, we work to identify alignment between your internal people practices and the values you espouse to the communities you serve.

We also support organizations in the areas of Employee Engagement Survey Design & Management and Retention Strategy Design! Our hands-on approach to uncovering and understanding current cultural dynamics and building actionable plans to address them is why thousands of mission-driven leaders have partnered with us over the past two decades. We would welcome the opportunity to partner with your executive leadership team too.

Let SITA thought partner with your organization to strengthen your talent management practices. Our focus on mission-driven organizations is a perfect fit for your social enterprise’s vision, values and culture! Contact us to discuss your unique HR strategy and advisory needs.
