The leadership style of an organisation can profoundly impact an organisation's health, affecting the workplace culture, employee experience, engagement, performance, and organisational agility and resilience.

The prolific global expert in open and digital government and former public servant Pia Andrews joins us as we discuss how public sector professionals must lead and navigate their teams now and in the future.

Hear Pia's thoughts on how we need to get back to servant leadership, how any leader's first strategy should be to slow things down, and how human-centered design approaches require you to come from a position of being your best human in the first place.

Trailblazing with CorbettPrice Podcast - Episode 5

Welcome back to our podcast series on organisational health and the seven dimensions of wellness. This week in episode five, we continue to explore the theme of employee experience by looking into one of the crucial factors that impact this positively or negatively, an organisation’s culture. Workplace culture is our fifth relational dimension of organisational health.

Listen to episode five:

Also available through Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts:

Workplace culture, as defined by BambooHR, is the personality of an organisation – it’s a shared set of workplace beliefs, values, attitudes, standards, purposes, and behaviours. Research by Gallup shows that employees with a strong connection to their organisation’s culture are more likely to be engaged and less likely to experience burnout as often as those without.

Cherie Canning from Luminate Leadership joins us to discuss this essential topic, where she draws on real organisational case studies to talk through the attributes leaders need to have to create a people-centric culture, how this starts with psychological safety and how to create that, how organisations can overcome toxic workplace cultures, why mental health first aid is essential for everyone throughout an organisation, and how to build a connection with employees regardless of whether they are in the office, or working from home.

This episode is must listen for anyone who wants their organisation to be more people-centric or learn how to maintain a positive and strong workplace culture.

Announcing our new podcast series!

Trailblazing with CorbettPrice is a podcast series featuring interviews with SMEs and influencers from across disciplines and industries to present new and fresh perspectives that challenge how business and government leaders can approach change in solving some of the biggest challenges today.

Each week, we will feature interviews with SMEs and influencers from across disciplines and industries to present you with new and fresh perspectives that challenge how you approach change to solve some of the biggest challenges faced by business and government leaders today.

In our first series, we have an amazing line-up of trailblazers who will help us explore organisational health and wellness. Across seven weekly episodes, we will dive into the individual dimensions that make up the overall health of an organisation, discuss how these dimensions relate to each other, and provide ways to improve their health to boost the overall wellness of your organisation.

Episode one available to listen to from Tuesday, 23 May, 2023 on www.corbettprice.com.au/podcast

Read a synopsis for each of our episodes:

  • Leaders may know the what, and the why for their organisation in terms of customers and the value proposition offered, but do they have a clear picture of the ‘how’? We will explore this in episode one and provide an explanation of an Operating Model approach.

    Listen now

  • The uncertainty of the past few years has strongly influenced how organisations respond and plan for the future. Likewise, it has also changed the perceptions of employees and the value they place on 'work.' In this episode, we will explore Agile Enterprise principles and how these can be used for future readiness.

    Listen now

  • An organisation's financial and performance health directly affects the ability to make informed decisions and plan for the future. This episode will explore how leaders can adopt a more open mindset to long-term planning, challenging how they perceive and plan for the future.

    Listen now

  • Gallup defines employee experience as a journey across a lifecycle with three critical stages: engagement, performance, and development. With research reporting that employee burnout is increasing yoy, there is a direct correlation between burnout and an inadequate work-life balance translating into lower productivity. In this episode, we explore how we can apply design thinking principles to this problem.

    Listen now

  • Research conducted by Gallup shows that when employees have a strong connection to their company's culture, they are 3.7X as likely to be engaged at work, 5.2X as likely to recommend their organisation as a great workplace, and 68% less likely to feel burned out by work. In this episode, we explore how organisations can create more of a people-centric culture.

    Listen now

  • Leadership directly influences an organisation's culture, and how leaders lead can directly impact an organisation's ability to innovate and retain staff. Leaders must adapt their style and practice key power skills, including empathy. But it starts with having a clear purpose shared by all in an organisation. In this episode, we explore how leaders can do this.

  • The role of the learning and development team has changed. As the lines between work and home life continue to blur, the scales for maintaining a healthy work-life balance have tipped with employees looking for growth opportunities beyond just training and professional development programs. In this episode, we explore how leaders can approach this across the employment lifecycle.
