The WORKPLACESᵀᴹ Culture & Engagement Model

From culture guesswork to culture clarity: Time to build a workplace where people thrive.

What is the WORKPLACESᵀᴹ Culture & Engagement Model?

WORKPLACES™ is our culture and engagement framework for organizations that want to build high-performing, high-trust environments where people can truly do their best work.

Grounded in behavioral science and real-world data, the framework helps you understand how your culture is experienced across levels—and where you need to focus to create a workplace that fuels performance, belonging, and retention.

It’s more than a diagnostic—it’s a system for building a better workplace, from the inside out.
