We exist to increase the number of culture builders in the world.

Culture Building is going mainstream – but not fast enough! Business-as-usual—profit-at-all-costs—isn’t working, and it’s causing social and environmental damage faster than we can repair it.

The purpose of culture-builder.com is to accelerate an emerging trend—already well underway—by collecting and sharing some of latest and best examples of how other companies—of all sizes and industries—are effectively creating thriving team environments. In a business world often dominated by stories of corruption, fraud and greed, It’s a a window into a slice of corporate life that is good, true and beautiful.

Not because they are perfect expressions of the ideal, but because they are endeavoring and making steady progress toward creating something better.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of us –committed to doing what you can within your sphere of influence to build team cultures that empower people and help meet the challenges we face.

Thank you for being part of this movement.
