Summary

Great teams don’t happen by accident. In this fireside chat, Lisa E. Lombardo (President, Ark Holdings Group) and Carmen Bryant (VP of Marketing, Wizehire) unpack how intentional culture fuels engagement, retention, and performance, and how any business can start with a simple, repeatable framework.

Key takeaways Culture → Engagement → Retention. Treat culture as a core business strategy, not a “nice to have.” Use Lisa’s 1-2-3: Define your culture, program it with consistent rituals, and measure it so you can improve. Start small, but be consistent. One well-run ritual beats ten ideas you can’t sustain. Hire for culture
