People-First Organizational Culture Index™
Measure What Matters Most and Build a Culture That Performs
Unclock the Culture Advantage
Organizations today are navigating immense complexity. Whether it's adapting to hybrid work, strengthening team cohesion, or ensuring equity and wellbeing across the workforce —
the organizations that thrive are those that align culture with performance.
The People-First Organizational Culture Index™ offers a clear, structured approach to understanding how your culture is functioning across the areas that matter most. It doesn't measure surface-level engagement — it evaluates the core conditions that allow trust to deepen, accountability to scale, and talent to grow.
This isn’t about fixing what's broken. It’s about amplifying what’s working, identifying what’s missing, and equipping your organization to lead with clarity, consistency, and care. The Index is the starting point for any organization that wants to be high-performing and human-centered.
“The future belongs to organizations that put their People-First — those bold enough to lead with integrity, invest in their people, and build systems that last.”
Cecilia Stanton Adams - CEO, Organizational Development Consultant

Who the Index is For?
New or Current People Leaders
You’ve just stepped into your first formal leadership role and want to build a strong foundation rooted in trust, clarity, and people-first practices.
Team/Project Managers
You’re leading initiatives or cross-functional work and want to strengthen your leadership presence before moving into a people management role.
Mid-Career Professionals
You’re leading without a title — mentoring peers, coordinating projects, or guiding team decisions — and you’re ready to lead more intentionally and inclusively.
What is the People-First Culture Index™
If you're leading an organization right now, you're probably feeling the weight of performance pressure, retention challenges, and rising expectations around how people want to work. You've likely invested in strategy, training, or tech — and still find yourself asking, "Why aren’t things clicking the way they should?"
Here’s what I’ve learned after working with dozens of teams across industries: performance problems are often people problems. And people problems are almost always culture problems.
The People-First Culture Index™ helps you uncover the hidden dynamics holding your organization back. It doesn't just measure satisfaction — it reveals the underlying conditions that support (or sabotage) trust, clarity, accountability, equity, and growth. It's the first step toward building a culture that fuels performance and sustainability.
What you'll gain from the index
This is about amplifying what’s working, identifying what’s missing, and equipping your organization to lead with clarity, consistency, and care. The Index is the starting point for any organization that wants to be high-performing and human-centered.

Meet Your Instructor: Cecilia Stanton Adams
Hi, I’m Cecilia Stanton Adams | CEO of Stanton Adams Consulting and Co-Founder of The Diversity Institute.
For over two decades, I’ve helped leaders build inclusive, people-centered workplaces where performance and purpose go hand in hand. With a background in psychology, sociology, and organizational development, I bring a unique blend of strategy, insight, and empathy to everything I do.
Before launching my own firm, I led DEI efforts at companies like Allianz Life, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Metropolitan State University. Now, through programs like Leadership by Design™, I support leaders in growing the mindset and skills needed to lead with clarity, confidence, and care.
If you're ready to lead differently—to create a culture where people thrive and results follow—you're in the right place. Let’s get started.
