Client Overview
KNF Neuberger, a U.S. subsidiary of a German firm founded in 1946, specializes in diaphragm pumps. With 17 global locations and over 100 U.S. employees, the company has prioritized operational excellence and implemented Fundamentals since 2016 to guide daily actions and decisions.
Why it Matters
KNF Neuberger utilizes its Fundamentals to create a high-performance culture by integrating specific behaviors across all business areas. This approach has improved internal collaboration, increased employee engagement, and strengthened the company's reputation. By embedding these Fundamentals into daily routines, KNF Neuberger fosters a consistent, scalable, and resilient culture for the future.
Challenges
KNF Neuberger's company values were not consistently applied in operations. Leadership sought to make values actionable, reduce friction, and create a culture where all employees felt heard and valued, aiming for alignment, trust, & integration of the culture across the business.
Solutions
When KNF Neuberger's HR manager discovered the Culture by Design System, President Rob Wassmer recognized its potential. CultureWise help create 33 behaviors (Fundamentals) to embed in its culture. The program focused on one behavior each week, reinforced through discussions, visual displays, and leadership modeling. These behaviors were integrated into meetings, customer interactions, and operations. The system was also included in hiring, onboarding, and performance reviews to ensure cultural alignment from day one.
