Addressing the needs of sub-cultures is essential to fostering a culture of health. For example, something that may work great on the day shift may have little traction on the night shift. The norms and needs of machine operators may be very different from those in sales.
- How do you identify sub-cultures?
- How do you empower managers and champions to align programs and practices with diverse sub-cultures?
- How will you address the needs of sub-cultures without undermining the brand and core themes of your program?
Explore these fundamental challenges and other related topics with culture experts Judd Allen, PhD, Mary Marzec, PhD, and Richard Safeer, MD.
