The war for talent isn’t coming, it’s here. And most companies are losing.

In this data-backed program, leadership and culture strategist Betsy Allen-Manning walks executive teams through the Destination Workplace™ Framework—a proven roadmap to assess, align, and improve your employee experience so you can finally build a culture that attracts, engages, and retains top performers.

You’ll learn why 70% of leaders believe they have a great culture, but only 28% of employees agree, and how to close that gap by building an employee experience that actually matches your leadership narrative. This program isn’t about theory. It’s about measurable transformation, designed for organizations ready to lead the culture change, instead of complaining about it.

You'll walk away with Betsy's 6-part roadmap for building a Destination Workplace™.

The Destination Workplace™ Roadmap:

• Assess the Gap: Diagnose your culture gaps before they cost you talent.
• Align the Message: Link your mission, vision, and values to your desired behaviors.
• Elevate the Experience: Understand the 5 employee experiences that shape retention & loyalty.
• Execute With Accountability: Create accountability for culture, not just HR ownership.
• Measure Through Feedback: Create a feedback loop to ensure leaders stay aligned.
• Join the Movement: Retention is your new reputation. Let's make it official!

Backed by research and real-world results, Betsy combines data, storytelling, and leadership experience to help you stop guessing and start creating a workplace that works.
