Your Business ROI


Taking the time to focus on, and build a strong, fit for purpose workplace culture is not just great for your people, it's smart business. 


A healthy aligned culture will lead to increased market share, a lower cost base from greater efficiency, and higher margins from value added customer solutions, built from in-depth customer insight. In essence, culture excellence is a major feeder into business excellence.

The Stats

Of course there is now much research pointing to the bottom line benefits of a strong and healthy workplace culture. Here are a few of those studies that clearly demonstrate that link:

Since 2009, Fortune’s ‘Best Places to Work For’ companies outperformed the S&P 500 by 84.2%

While a similar portfolio of Glassdoor’s ‘Best Places to Work’ outperformed the overall stock market by 115.6%

In 2017 Culture Amp collected employee feedback from over 1,000 companies. They compared share price growth from across 2017, looking at three aspects they had measured – Engagement, product belief, and a combined measure of the two.


The chart shows that the results linked these measures to higher share price growth.

John Kotter, world leading management guru and author of Corporate Culture and Performance conducted a research project examining the cultures of 200 companies and how each organisation’s culture affected its long-term performance. The results over an eleven-year period indicated that strong cultures that promoted adaption to a changing world are associated with strong financial results.
