Every company has a values statement: its vision, mission, and values. When our team began speculating about our contribution to the world, we didn\u2019t want limitations or a ceiling. We have a vision that lights us up as a pursuit. It\u2019s something that never ends; the adventure and journey inspire us and others, growing in scope and scale over time.<\/p>\n

Watershed Moment positively impacts companies, changing their trajectories to a higher level of success. We weave vision and clarity through the DNA of a company, creating its transformation. We specialize in elevating company operations design that increases revenue, employee engagement, customer loyalty, brand innovation, and expansion.<\/p>\n

Our secret sauce? \u201cEvery Voice Matters.\u201d Our vision for the world ensures everyone is heard, can contribute productively, and is respected for their expertise at any level. On the world stage, ensuring that all voices matter has historically fallen on the group or individual who didn\u2019t have the voice to make the noise. They beat a drum that got louder and louder until a moment of decision for acceptance and change.<\/p>\n

Before we begin to help governments, local agencies, the United Nations, and the like, our agency is starting with companies. The responsibility to ensure every voice matters doesn\u2019t rest with those without a voice to beat the drum, but instead with executives, management, and even social leaders in the workplace to assure that everyone can contribute. Strong organizations with high productivity have robust mechanisms for a \u201ccontinuous feedback loop,\u201d so all contributions, regardless of where they come from, are factored in as valuable perspectives. These companies have a vision aligned to their commitment to being global citizens beyond just measuring their quarterly profits.<\/p>\n

In a recent 2021 study, Gallup learned that 87% of employees worldwide are not engaged. However, they discovered that companies with engaged work cultures outperform their peers by 147%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”20″ bottom_padding=”20″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”bold” text_color=”#d93d85″ color=”Accent-Color” quote=”Companies with engaged work cultures outperform their peers by 147%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”40″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Lack of engagement is apparent with antiquated companies that lure in rock stars but don\u2019t have the leadership vision or culture to support giving everyone a voice that allows the employee to contribute and cultivate innovation. Instead, ego, control, and top-down managing turn into a disempowering, toxic work environment. A once engaged, passionate superstar who now sits silently in the conference room is the first clue. These employees leave once they\u2019ve figured out their contributions won\u2019t be heard. At these companies, stagnation and decreased performance take hold. Unfortunately, poor leaders don\u2019t make the connection.<\/p>\n

We see first-hand post-pandemic that employee communities are shifting. They\u2019re demanding their voice be heard, they can contribute their expertise, grow, and develop with future opportunities, and receive appropriate pay. For a company to remain relevant, leaders must cultivate a culture where employees can contribute and spark innovation, regardless of where they rank on the org chart.<\/p>\n

High-performing companies with an engaged work culture successfully weave together multiple perspectives intentionally, creating more exciting and effective outcomes than what one person alone could have made \u2013 Every Voice Matters.<\/p>\n

At Watershed Moment, we provide the road map for leaders to implement this company culture, attract rock star employees to contribute, and retain them to bring your company to an unstoppable next level.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
