About Praxis Consulting Group
Praxis Consulting Group assists employee-owned, not-for-profit, and other socially responsible organizations in developing high-performing, sustainable workplaces that benefit all stakeholders. Our clients benefit from our extensive experience in team-building, leadership development, large-scale change, strategic planning, employee engagement, conflict resolution, and culture-building.
Praxis became a Founding B Corporation because we support the meaningful certification of responsible business practices. External standards help us shine the light on our commitment to our own stated values, and help us distinguish the substance from the hype of social responsibility. Praxis seeks to be an integral part of and advocate for the emerging community of socially responsible businesses.
An organization's culture will encourage behaviors that either support its strategies or unintentionally undermine them. The beliefs and behaviors of organizational leaders as well as their communications are critical factors in developing workplace environments that support behaviors which drive individual and group performance. Through services addressing each of these three key factors -- leadership, strategy and culture -- Praxis assists organizations in ensuring that the entire system is aligned to achieve the organization's goals.
The Change We Seek™
Broad employee participation and engagement is essential to long-term business success. We seek to build a world in which values-based, socially and environmentally responsible organizations are the rule rather than the exception. We are committed to helping these organizations succeed by providing them with the strategies and tools needed to meet today's demands while also strengthening the foundation for future success and impact.
• We want to promote employee-owned businesses. Praxis Consulting Group assists employee-owned companies in creating ownership cultures that improve company performance for the benefit of all shareholders. We provide a variety of services and initiatives that insure that the ownership structure is executed efficiently and employees are made an integral part of the implementation process.
• Praxis Consulting Group also seeks out socially responsible businesses. We assist these triple-bottom-line companies and provide strategies that can enable them to carry out their mission more effectively and spend less time worrying about managing internal structures.
