How do organizations build a culture that supports both employee engagement and business success? In a recent interview with HR Executive, Ulteig Chief Human Resources Officer Sara Chapman shares her perspective on the critical role HR leaders play in shaping workplace culture.
Throughout the conversation, Chapman emphasizes the importance of putting people at the center of business decisions. She highlights how Ulteig’s employee ownership model strengthens engagement by giving employee-owners a direct stake in the company’s success and creating an environment where every voice can make an impact.
Chapman also discusses the intentional effort required to maintain a strong culture in a flexible work environment.
“Workplace flexibility has been a really big cultural benefit to us and a business benefit,” she says. “But it does mean we have to … really be intentional so that we don’t lose those things that are core to our culture.”
