Return to Relationships: Culture Playbook for the Current Workplace

$9.99

Return to Relationships: Why Culture & Connection Will Continue to Drive Work Into the Future

Overview:
Return to Relationships reframes the “return-to-office” debate into what it truly is — a return to culture. Written by Jonathan Couser, founder of ARCH Impacts, the e-book argues that success in hybrid and in-person work isn’t about desks or policies but about trust, belonging, and shared ownership.

Rather than viewing RTO as a compliance exercise, this book shows leaders how to turn it into a culture-building opportunity using the GENUINE™ Framework — seven relational behaviors (Generous, Engaged, Nice, Unafraid, Integrity, Non-Judgmental, Empathetic) that transform workplaces from resistant to thriving.

The Value Proposition

If you’re facing disengagement, attrition, or culture fatigue, Return to Relationships provides both the diagnostic and the playbook to repair trust, re-energize teams, and future-proof your organization.

It’s not just a book about returning to the office — it’s a manual for returning to what makes work human.

  • The GENUINE™ Advantage:
