Company culture doesn’t happen by accident — and when it’s done right, it can transform everything from employee engagement to business performance.
In this episode, host Katie Richards sits down with Al Curnow, Vice President of CultureWise, to explore why culture matters, how leaders can shape it intentionally, and what consistent reinforcement looks like in practice.
Drawing on real-world examples from MHEDA member companies, Al shares how clearly defined behaviors, weekly rituals, and shared language can help organizations build strong foundations that support growth, retention, and leadership development — even during challenging times.
Whether you’re just beginning to think about culture or looking to strengthen what’s already in place, this conversation offers practical insights and a refreshingly simple approach to creating a workplace where people — and businesses — thrive.
