What this episode covers
Great companies aren’t built on perks—they’re built on cultures people want to stay in. In this episode, CEO & well-being executive coach Saeed Alghafri breaks down why people don’t leave companies—they leave cultures—and the concrete moves leaders can make to keep top talent: trust over control, clear growth paths, effort-based recognition, and true psychological safety. Plus: pitfalls to avoid (toxic high performers, empty “people first” talk) and how to turn strategy into shared wins.
