How do companies keep their culture strong during a crisis?
The pandemic put organizations to the test — forcing them to adapt, pivot, and rethink how they engage their employees. Some struggled, while others thrived. The difference? Culture Continuity™ — the ability to stay aligned with company values even in times of uncertainty.
So, what does it take to build a resilient culture, no matter the challenge? The answer lies in understanding the key drivers of Culture Continuity™ and ensuring your company is ready for whatever comes next.
