Conscious Culture
Resources to help pools understand their culture and consciously create the best environment for the pool and its people.
A strong positive pool culture delivers improved efficiency, engagement and results, so it’s important to get it right. Making a conscious choice about culture (and building to that vision) is critical as pools experience turnover in staff and governing body members and adjust to emerging employee expectations around work.
