Queens University of Charlotte Whitepaper
This whitepaper examines intentional culture development in a post-pandemic workforce, focusing on challenges and opportunities within remote and hybrid work environments. It synthesizes insights from self-determination theory, the belongingness hypothesis, and the U.S. Surgeon General's Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being to address employee motivation, foster belonging, and promote well-being. The document provides recommendations for human resource and people leaders on cultivating supportive cultures that enhance engagement, productivity, and organizational success through focus on individual motivation, robust wellness frameworks, and intentional leadership.
