  • Easy and Relatable Advice

    I consume quite a bit of leadership content and often it can feel repetitive. BetterCulture has a way of wrapping information in digestible amounts with topics that you can apply immediately. My husband, not a person who manages people nor does he have any desire, often asks me to turn these episodes up because he likes to share the information with his manager and finds it interesting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#28: A Secret to Employee Loyalty: Meeting Needs Beyond the Workplace (with Chad Mares)
Q: What exactly are work life coaches and how do they operate inside an organization?
Work life coaches are on-site consultants who operate in an office-hours format, meeting employees to discuss anything affecting their ability to be present at work, from benefits questions to life goals, and they help create actionable plans while connecting people to community resources. The relationship is designed to be confidential and separate from the usual employer email and HR channels to avoid power dynamics.
#24: Leading with Heart: How Falcon Plastics Redefines Workplace Culture (with Jenn Barlund)
Q: How has leadership approached the acquisition and integration across borders?
The approach centers on intentional culture integration, language support, aligning values, and maintaining a 'world-class molder' ambition while preserving a family feel and care for people.
#24: Leading with Heart: How Falcon Plastics Redefines Workplace Culture (with Jenn Barlund)
Q: Tell us what makes the culture at Falcon Plastics unique.
Jenn explains that Falcon's culture is built on relationships, open communication, and a genuine care for employees' whole-life well-being, with everyday acts of kindness and collaboration that keep work enjoyable and meaningful.
#12: Why Young Professionals Stay-Or Walk Away (with Colin Hensel)
Q: What are some of the things that you hear from friends about the way they view the work world?
There's a desire to learn and grow outside of the role, and many young professionals move around to find better opportunities.
#12: Why Young Professionals Stay-Or Walk Away (with Colin Hensel)
Q: So what makes you enjoy your organization and want to stay?
The culture, a high level of trust in employees, regular recognition, and strong relationships among coworkers.
