In our experience working with over 70 organizations, we’ve learned that there are three vital dimensions in any high performing sustainable culture.
PERFORMANCE
Driving consistent results & alignment through clear authority, accountability & autonomy
We all want to be part of a winning team. At 1-DEGREE/Shift, we believe there are three A’s that help drive performance. First, there’s Authority which is about clear decentralized decision-making as close to the customer as possible so that we can be adaptable. Then there’s shared Accountability - taking responsibility, even if it’s tough. The third A is Autonomy - an intrinsic human motivator, that we need to have flexibility in how we work.
WELL–BEING
Nurturing holistic health and wellness
Well-being is the oxygen and fuel for organizational cultures. Navigating changing work environments and personal life is challenging, and if we aren’t careful it can lead to chronic stress and high levels of burnout. Organizations, teams and individuals need to prioritize and nurture holistic health and wellness for a thriving work culture.
INCLUSION
Fostering a strong sense of belonging and community
As humans, we all have tribal instincts – the tendency and need to form social groups. Unfortunately, this instinct creates divisions and can be an active barrier to inclusion and collaboration. Fostering a strong sense of belonging and inclusion by consciously co-creating communities is vital for any high-performing work culture.
