The Profound Impact of Educational Culture in Organizations



Dr. Darryl Glover:



The Harvard Business Review discusses education’s critical role and personal and professional development. They emphasized how these aspects can profoundly transform your work setting, right? I want to share a quote from this article. It reveals that organizations with a robust learning culture are 92 percent more likely to develop innovative products and processes.



They are 52 percent more productive and 56 percent more likely to be the first to market their products and services. Additionally, they are 17 percent more profitable than their peers. This last statistic genuinely astounds me, but it logically follows. Their engagement and retention rates are also 30 to 50 percent higher.



I want to emphasize that again: 30 to 50 percent higher. Let’s be candid; we can significantly elevate our patients’ lives when we have the appropriate education, tools, and resources. Moreover, we can ensure the contentment and loyalty of our office team members, making them eager to stay with us and contribute to transformative change.



Today, I am delighted to host two guests who have indeed been game-changers in emphasizing education, coaching, and professional development. Friends and family, it is both a pleasure and an honor to welcome my colleagues, Roxanna Drager and Brandi Kaye.



Ladies, would you be so kind as to share a bit about your background with us?



Introducing the Game Changers: Brandi Kay and Roxana Dreger



Brandi Kay :



I am from a quaint little town called Plainville in Connecticut. I’m employed with Harvey and Lewis Opticians, an extraordinary company with a rich history spanning 133 years, still managed by the Lewis family into the fourth generation, which is indeed quite remarkable, I must say. My passion for learning is ever-growing.



Currently, I am embracing the opportunity to further my education. Despite having my four children early in life, I’ve embarked on the college journey, immersing myself in the study of business operations, economics, and other exciting subjects. In my role at Harvey and Lewis, I proudly serve as the Vice President of Operations.
