Sustain culture through collective commitment
As part of Connect 2023, all 100 leaders
were invited to ceremoniously commit
to an inclusive culture where all associates
feel trust, belonging, and safety. Each
leader chose one commitment to put these
values into action that would sustain the
Avēsis culture. Starting with the CHRO,
Allison Ellison, each leader wrote down
their commitment on a leaf-shaped
paper and taped it on a canvas with a
tree-an exercise that demonstrated
the power of collective commitment, as
the bare tree blossomed to full life with
every leader's contribution.
Following Connect 2023, Avēsis leaders
embarked on a four-month virtual learning
journey to continue growing their EX
stewardship. Leaders organized into cohorts
and attended cohort sessions to delve into
high-impact moments at Avēsis. During
these sessions, leaders discussed crucial
topics, assessed the impact of new
mindsets or behaviors, and tackled their
challenges with implementing the desired EX.
" The most effective part of the experience
was meeting other team members whom
I have only ever spoken to on the phone
or over Teams. "
In an increasingly competitive business landscape, it's the meaningful everyday moments that set organizations
apart and drive long-term success. The modern leader is the steward of these moments that create the whole
employee experience, which can leave a lasting impact on the lives of those they lead.
Avēsis demonstrated how prioritizing EX can lead to a strong company culture built on a bedrock of belonging,
trust, and collaboration. By redesigning important employee moments, creating a clear company narrative,
fostering a culture of care through strong modern leaders, and collectively committing to sustaining this
culture, Avēsis leaders are empowered to own their role as stewards who care for, protect, and preserve
those meaningful everyday moments with an employee. This is what modern leadership looks like.
