7. Enhancing Workplace Culture Creating a positive workplace culture is key to attracting and retaining talent. This includes fostering an inclusive environment, providing opportunities for professional growth, and ensuring work-life balance. A strong workplace culture can enhance employee satisfaction and productivity. The impact of workplace culture is discussed in a conversation between Eastridge’s CEO, Seth Stein, and former CEO of WD-40, Garry Ridge (Eastridge). In the conversation, Ridge emphasizes that a strong company culture, rooted in values and servant leadership, is essential for creating a workplace where employees feel fulûlled and happy. He shares how the culture at WD-40 led to a remarkable 93% employee engagement rate, which directly contributed to improved company performance and long-term success . Another example, comes from nVent, a global company that designs and manufactures electrical connection and protection solutions. nVent prioritizes culture as a tool to attract and retain talent, with initiatives driven by a highly engaged leadership team. They focus on creating an inclusive environment that makes employees feel valued, helping them stay motivated and connected to the company’s broader goals (The Manufacturing Institute) (CMTC). Additionally, Power Curbers, a manufacturer of concrete paving machines and curbing equipment, has implemented a proût-sharing plan that fosters a strong sense of belonging and ownership among employees (CMTC).
