Amid economic and labor market changes, company culture evolved quickly in 2023. While past culture initiatives tended to focus on the "fun" side of work, that will change this year as employees prioritize their professional goals and resolutions. Now, employers are brainstorming ways to improve their workplace, starting with developing a company culture rooted in learning, trust, and connection.

With the pandemic fading further in the rearview mirror, employers are turning their focus to return-to-office mandates and managing employees' shifting expectations, once again experimenting with new initiatives and strategies to create equitable and comfortable working environments.
