Prioritizing Workplace Culture

No thoughtful leader in our industry would argue against the idea that a robust, positive workplace culture is essential for high employee performance, satisfaction, and retention. Yet fostering such a culture is often overlooked— culture is assumed to develop organically without diligent planning or effort. Join Jay Ong, Head of Disney Games Group, aim to explore "work culture" by addressing questions such as:

• What is culture? What are the key elements that constitute a group’s culture?
• How can we embrace a common culture while also appreciating the unique aspects of various team subcultures?
• What are effective strategies for fostering and sustaining a strong culture?
• In what ways does culture evolve as an organization grows from its early stages to a more established phase?
