Companies Thrive When Their Employees Thrive
A business isn't a business without its people. Let's work together to create workplaces that are both high performing and human-centered.
Challenges you may be facing
Employee engagement rates are dropping.
Retention challenges are impacting productivity and OPEX.
Employees are slow to adopt change.
Managers are unprepared to lead today’s workforce.
Organizational and cultural misalignment are hurting performance.
Unfortunately, HR and other departments are being asked to do more with less to combat these and many other workplace challenges.
What if...
Your organization had a powerful vision and purpose that inspires your employees and customers?
You had a workplace culture that motivated employees to give their best every day?
Each employee felt like they mattered, they belonged, and were connected to valuable outcomes?
You could achieve business goals while providing a rewarding and relevant employee experience?
Internal processes and programs were designed in partnership with the employees that are closest to the work?
All teams – front line and back office – had clarity on organizational goals and how they can support them?
Managers were fully prepared to enable their teams to be more successful?
Turning Leaf Strategies is here for you.
Hello, I’m Ellen. I believe in creating a win-win situation for both the employer and its employees. The most profitable public and private companies have discovered that they succeed when they help their employees succeed. I specialize in assisting organizations to transition from surviving to thriving with a range of solutions and services designed to support their people, culture and transformation initiatives.
My expertise stems from years of experience, training, and continuous learning in Employee Experience Strategy and Design, Change Management, Internal Communications, Employee Engagement, and Culture and Brand Building, with recent focus on HR programs and practices. This includes working with some of the largest employers as well as emerging start-ups.
