If you want to see lasting culture change, you've got to fall in love with the process, not the goal. In the latest episode of the Transform Your Workplace podcast, leadership and culture expert James Ferguson discusses his new role as Director of Culture for the Wurzak Hotel Group. He shares his insights on shaping organizational culture with increased engagement, focus on mission, and employee recognition. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance workplace culture and foster a sense of belonging among team members. TAKEAWAYS Lasting cultural change requires embracing the improvement process rather than just aiming for the end goal. Effective internal communication helps team members understand the company's mission, which is crucial for cultural cohesion. Orientation “done right” creates context, connection, and culture, which can significantly reduce turnover and unify the team. Wurzak's recognition initiative celebrates employees daily and weekly for living out the company's brand pillars, reinforcing the value of their contributions. “Culture Committees” give employees a voice, building trust and encouraging participation in the company's cultural development efforts.

Opening Song: Good and Gracious King (https://open.spotify.com/track/1gqhpCPMpTQu8G9mkpS1ib?si=21096bf36850463f) by James Ferguson, Jonny Robinson, and Michael Farren Lyrics: I approach the throne of glory Nothing in my hands I bring But the promise of acceptance From a good and gracious King I will give to You my burden As You give to me Your strength Come and fill me with Your Spirit As I sing to You this praise You deserve the greater glory Overcome I lift my voice To the King in need of nothing Empty handed I rejoice You deserve the greater glory Overcome with joy I sing By Your love I am accepted You're a good and gracious King O what grace that You would see me As Your child and as Your friend Safe secure in You forever I pour out my praise again Holy holy Lord Almighty Good and gracious Good and gracious Holy holy Lord Almighty Good and gracious King Passage: 10 I rejoice greatly in the Lord, I exult in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a groom wears a turban and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11 For as the earth produces its growth, and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. 1 I will not keep silent because of Zion, and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem, until her righteousness shines like a bright light and her salvation, like a flaming torch. 2 Nations will see your righteousness and all kings, your glory. You will be given a new name that the Lord's mouth will announce. 3 You will be a glorious crown in the Lord's hand, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God's hand. 4 You will no longer be called Deserted, and your land will not be called Desolate; instead, you will be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land will be married. 5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a groom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you. (Isaiah 61:10-62:5 CSB) Musical Reflection: “Breathe on Me, Breath of God” by Robert Jackson Reflection Notes: TRENTHAM is a tune by Robert Jackson, an English composer during the nineteenth century. It fits perfectly with the text for “Breath On Me, Breath of God,” by Edwin Hatch; each phrase is allotted ample space for reflection. Prayer: Father, what we know not, teach us; what we have not, give us; what we are not, make us; for the sake of your Son our Savior. Amen. -Old Anglican Prayer

On 26 June 1858, COL Albert Sidney Johnston ordered his troops forward, marching them towards Salt Lake City. For over a year, they had endured cold, hunger, and grueling marches. Now, as they entered Salt Lake City, they found it abandoned -- other than a few Soldiers of the Nauvoo Legion, who stood ready to set the city ablaze if Johnston's Soldiers began rampaging. How did Johnston's Army feel about this ambiguous end to a year-long campaign? How did Latter-day Saints deal with uncertainty amid Army patrols and evacuation orders? And how effective were these military measures, when the spirited young men and women of Pioneer Utah wanted to be together? On this episode, we explore: ○ Johnston's Decision to March to Salt Lake City before he could be reinforced -- and all the glory for a successful campaign stolen -- by General William S. Harney. ○ The Nauvoo Legion's efforts to evacuate the city and prepare it for burning.○ How the young men and women of pioneer Utah creatively defied evacuation orders, armed sentries, and patrols, to be together. ○ Johnston's march through Salt Lake City, despite the taunting appearance of BG James Ferguson and the Nauvoo Legion Cavalry. ○ Mixed reactions -- both of disappointment and awe -- at entering Salt Lake City. ○ Loud complaints of New York Times correspondent James Simonton at the distance that the Latter-day Saint women maintained from both him and the Army -- and one obvious reason why that Simonton seemingly overlooked. ○ The end of the Utah War and tribute to Thomas L. Kane of Pennsylvania.For the materials and sources in this story, we owe a special thanks to Utah War historian William "Bill" MacKinnon - His two-volume set, "At Sword's Point: A Documentary History of the Utah War to 1858" is an extraordinary resource for anyone interested in learning more about the Utah War.

Take a “room that's doom and gloom and make it KABOOM” with our latest guest, James Ferguson, author of The Confetti Culture Playbook: How to Boost Your Team's Contribution and Impact. Listen in and hear some leadership insight and best practices from an award-winning hospitality expert turned author, speaker, and thought leader. TAKEAWAYS Too many businesses have spent the majority of their time focusing on the almighty dollar instead of the people working hard to earn it. When companies realize that they're responsible for the people who work for them, that's when you start to change your culture. Business leaders must find ways to ensure that employees are seen, heard, and supported. Create a roadmap, or a habit-building checklist, so that each team member who runs a department understands the key actions that they should do daily. When you build habits, you create consistency, and when you create consistency, it builds culture and improvement. Confetti is a tool that helps people understand not only the importance of recognition and reward in a company culture but it's also a tool that helps elevate the employee experience.
