About Us
Culture@Work helps leaders in the manufacturing, healthcare, auto, and service industry build cultures people believe in. Based in the La Crosse area, we offer coaching, consulting, and speaking to create more engaged, connected, and energized workplaces.
We started Culture@Work because we believe culture is the enabler to optimize an organization. Your organizational culture should engage employees by providing work purpose for them and thus driving successful, sustainable business outcomes. A healthy culture for your employee doesn't mean you sacrifice your business results, in fact, it optimizes your business results.
