The Hidden ROI of a Culture Reset

By Randall Sellar, Founder – Sellar Strategic Advisory

“Strong businesses are built by empowered people.”At Sellar Strategic Advisory, we believe culture isn’t a backdrop — it’s the engine that drives performance.

🌐 What is a Culture Reset?

A Culture Reset is a focused, 90-day sprint designed to realign how people work together with what the organization is trying to achieve.

It’s not about new posters or buzzwords, it’s about re-establishing the link between purpose, behaviour, and results.

Our 3-Phase Approach

1. 🔍 Discover – Assess where culture stands today through data, conversations, and listening to the lived experience of employees.

2. 🎯 Design – Co-create the cultural shifts that will unlock performance — clarifying behaviours, decision-making principles, and leadership expectations.

3. 🚀 Deliver – Embed those shifts into daily routines, communication, and leadership habits so the culture lives beyond the initiative.

Culture change only works when it’s co-created, not imposed.

💡 Why It Matters

Culture isn’t a “soft” concept — it’s a performance system.When culture drifts, so does execution. When it’s aligned, it accelerates everything else.

Organizations that intentionally reset culture often see measurable gains in:

• Engagement and retention — people want to stay where their values are reflected.

• Decision-making speed — clarity of purpose removes friction.

• Trust and accountability — leaders and teams know what “good” looks like and hold each other to it.

  
  

ROI of a Culture Reset:

• Stronger engagement

• Faster decisions

• Greater alignment and trust

  
  

A strong culture doesn’t just make work better — it makes business stronger.

🤝 What Makes It Work

The key is ownership.

Culture isn’t built by HR alone; it’s built by every leader, every conversation, every decision.

A reset works when leaders:

• Model the change

• Communicate with transparency

• Reinforce progress with consistency

  
  

It’s not a one-time event. It’s a turning point — a deliberate moment to say, “this is who we are, and this is how we move forward.”

🔄 Final Thought

If your organization feels stuck, fatigued, or disconnected from its core purpose, it might be time to hit reset.

Because culture, when aligned, isn’t just the backdrop of your business — it’s the engine that drives it.
