We love celebrating best-in-workplace cultures, so we were excited (and curious) to see the 2024 Best Workplaces list distributed this weekend in the media. It's based on a survey of 250000 UK employees. https://lnkd.in/eMect2EB The report includes some fabulous call-out quotes that resonate 💯 with the work Open Water is doing with its clients to transform cultures, build trust and team cohesion, and empower teams: - "When an employee's purpose is in alignment with the company's purpose, they are more productive, more engaged, and more motivated." - Cohesion counts more than benefits: "When employees form authentic connections with their colleagues and feel part of a team, it makes work more enjoyable and productive" Worth a read - and a chat with us you believe your team deserves better and that enabling and empowering your people will help you deliver sustainable results. #CultureTransformation #EmpoweredTeams #ConnectedLeader #ConnectedManager
