Tech Company Implements Workplace Culture Change To 3X Productivity ​​​​​​​

Large tech company that brought us in to address engagement and retention challenges. 

Executive Summary

Employees experiencing burn out from working overtime on an ongoing basis


Our brief: to develop a strategy that would help facilitate changes internally, across the organization, to result in a more positive workculture that would increase productivity and help retain talent.

Employee productivity tripled, resulting in multi-million dollar cost savings

Key Challenge

Our Approach

We looked at the data on how competitors were performing in order to set the context on what should and should not be top leadership priorities. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Our customized solution involved stakeholder interviews, assessments,  and a strategic planning meeting that resulted in the implementation of a 12 step proprietary process that enforced better work-life balance without sacrificing productivity and performance.

With the help of Big Data and advanced analytics, our firm was instrumental in rewiring organizational culture. Our tools and proprietary processes enforced improved work-life balance, while subtle changes to their recruitment strategy proved to be 46% more effective in attracting women, people of color, LGBTQ, and disabled communities, leading to a more inclusive workculture that people felt they were an intergral part of.


As a result of this initiative, within a twelve-month period our client increased employee productivity and morale ​​​​​​​by over 300% and decreased turnover from 20% to 12%

I realized that burnout was the price" our people were paying for our success.  We have now implemented a growth strategy that is genuinely sustainable and considerate of the work-life balance people need to thrive. "
