This free toolkit from 92NY Belfer Center helps organizations build stronger workplace cultures where people trust each other, work well together, and feel connected. The toolkit includes culture assessment questions, trust-building activities, communication guides, team connection ideas, leadership practices, and action planning templates. Research shows that organizations with strong cultures have happier employees, better teamwork, more creative ideas, higher productivity, and lower turnover.
People are less likely to quit when they feel valued and connected at work. The toolkit works for business leaders, HR professionals, team managers, nonprofit leaders, small business owners, and department heads. It provides a simple 5-step process: assess your current culture, pick focus areas, make a plan, take action, and check progress.
Building culture is ongoing work that requires consistent effort over time. Organizations can use this toolkit whether they're small teams or big companies. The goal is creating workplaces where people thrive, share ideas freely, take smart risks, and commit to the organization's success.
