Cultivate a mattering-reinforcing workplace culture to increase employee motivation, productivity and performance (profit)
Why mattering at work, matters
If you’re looking for a way to elevate your organisation’s or team’s performance, motivate and energise staff, increase productivity or staff retention (or all of the above), you’ve come to the right place.
Times have changed. What has worked in the past within organisations, is no longer as effective. Workplace cultures where staff are expected to constantly do ‘more with less’, where working long hours is the norm, and where busyness is celebrated, are not sustainable. A focus on outputs and outcomes, at the cost of people, results in reduced staff engagement, motivation, performance and productivity, and increased rates of burnout, anxiety and depression among staff, and staff turnover. This is the reality within too many organisations. Yet, these are, I believe, symptoms of a much deeper issue.
The truth is that people need to feel like they matter, in order for things to matter to them, including their work. Yet, all too often, they feel like they don’t matter.
What does this mean for you and your organisation? It means it’s time to do things differently, to seek to engage staff in a new way, a transformational, mattering-reinforcing way.
When people know why and how much they matter, they perform at their best. They, their relationships and their workplaces, thrive. Research has linked mattering to increased self-esteem, motivation, satisfaction, productivity, employee retention and more!
Mattering is not a ‘soft skill’ or a ‘new-age airy fairy concept’. Mattering is a basic, human need, a survival instinct. If you’re a leader or a HR professional, mattering is an opportunity. Commit to cultivating a mattering-reinforcing workplace culture so that all staff can know why and how much they matter, and your organisation will reap the benefits.
Masterclasses
Learn how to cultivate a workplace culture where employees are more engaged and productive because they know why, and how much, they matter.
I offer two half-day masterclasses. These can be standalone sessions or run consecutively, to create a full-day session. These masterclasses have been designed to integrate seemlessly into your next team development or offsite day.
Included with each masterclass are briefing calls to understand your specific context and needs, and customisation of the content, as required.

Zach Mercurio describes culture as “the glue that bonds your organisation and is the invisible force that determines how well you deliver your purpose”. Culture matters!
Creating a mattering-reinforcing culture is about cultivating a workplace where everyone, irrespective of their roles of functions, has learned the tools and skills to both know that they matter, and, to reinforce to their colleagues that they matter. Where everyone is clear on their individual and collective purpose, and why and how much, what they do matters.
