Empower2030: A Measurable Framework for Transforming Workplace Culture

Discover the six measurable drivers of empowerment that shape high-performing, resilient, and inclusive workplaces.

In today’s world of economic uncertainty, rapid innovation, and social fragmentation, organizations face a critical question:How do we build cultures that unlock collective intelligence, fuel innovation, and support human well-being?

Mosaicli’s Empower2030 framework offers a research-backed, measurable path forward.

What Is Empower2030?

Empower2030 is a scalable framework that helps organizations build an empowered cultural core — a center of gravity where people thrive, teams perform, and innovation accelerates.

Grounded in contemporary research and aligned with frameworks like Korn Ferry’s Enterprise Leadership Model, McKinsey’s Organizational Health Index, and the UN’s Inner Development Goals, Empower2030 drives measurable progress across two domains:

• Organizational Transformation: Cultures where empowerment drives collaboration, agility, and performance

• Societal Impact: Scalable practices that improve well-being, equity, and civic resilience

Empower2030 is one part of Mosaicli’s Empowered Core™ — an open-source framework of 12 essential leadership capacities for resilient teams and thriving organizations.

Improving Workplace Culture: The Six Empowerment Drivers

Each Empower2030 driver represents a core condition for empowerment and links to both performance outcomes and meaningful social impact.

Fostering "Connection" as a Key Element in Enhancing Workplace Culture.

Connection

Teams built on trust and belonging outperform others. When employees feel seen and supported, collaboration rises, conflict decreases, and turnover drops.

• Belonging is linked to a 56% increase in job performance and 50% reduction in turnover risk (BetterUp, 2021)

• Psychological safety is the #1 predictor of team performance at Google (Project Aristotle)

Organizational Focus: Foster deep connection and trust to fuel innovation, retention, and cross-functional collaboration.

Societal Goal (2030): Reduce % of Americans with no close friends from 12% → 8% (Mosaicli's Measurement Partner: General Social Survey).

Compassion

Curiosity, empathy, and perspective-taking drive inclusion, team learning, and engagement. Cultures that encourage compassion over judgment improve retention, reduce bias, and strengthen collaboration across lines of difference.

• Compassion in leaders increases employee retention by 25%+ (Harvard Business Review, 2020)

• Perspective-taking is correlated with improved decision-making and reduced bias (Galinsky et al., 2020)

Organizational Focus: Train teams to listen, humanize, and collaborate across silos — even when tensions run high.

Societal Goal (2030):🔻 Close perception gaps across the U.S. by 20% (Mosaicli's Measurement Partner: More in Common’s Perception Gap Index).

Conflict Courage

Unresolved tension stalls progress. High-performing teams address conflict directly, enabling faster decision-making, accountability, and innovation.

• Teams with strong conflict norms experience higher productivity and creativity (Capgemini Research Institute, 2022)

• Avoiding conflict costs companies an average of $359 billion per year in lost productivity (CPP Global, 2020)

Organizational Focus: Build a culture where difficult conversations are welcomed, not feared — and used as fuel for growth.

Societal Goal (2030): Decrease the national rate of self-reported unresolved interpersonal tension by 15% (Mosaicli's Measurement Partner: Mosaicli National Pulse Survey).

Active Hope

Hope isn’t soft — it’s a performance multiplier. Employees with a clear sense of possibility and purpose are more innovative, resilient, and likely to lead change.

• Purpose-driven workers are 3x more likely to stay (McKinsey, 2021)

• Volunteerism is linked to increased well-being and long-term life satisfaction (National Institute on Aging, 2022)

Organizational Focus: Embed purpose, recognize progress, and inspire contribution beyond the job description.

Societal Goal (2030): Increase civic and volunteer engagement from 23% → 40% (Mosaicli's Measurement Partner: U.S. Census Bureau CPS Volunteering & Civic Life Survey).

Self-Belief

Self-efficacy — the belief in one’s capacity to contribute meaningfully — fuels initiative, leadership, and motivation. Cultures that build this belief outperform on speed, ownership, and innovation.

• High self-efficacy predicts greater resilience and initiative (Bandura, 2020)

• Employees who align with their core values report increased motivation, clarity, and well-being

Organizational Focus: Help people name their core values and lead from a place of personal alignment.

Societal Goal (2030): 10x the % of people who can express a core value through personal storyMeasurement Partner: Empowered Core National Values Survey

Me to We

Collaboration thrives in cultures where people believe we rise together — not in zero-sum competition. Empowerment breaks down silos and activates shared success.

• Collective efficacy is one of the strongest predictors of innovation and adaptability (Harvard Business Review, 2022)

• Organizations with high cross-functional unity are 30% more likely to achieve strategic goals (Bain & Company, 2020)

Organizational Focus: Shift from individual performance to team-based achievement and mutual uplift.

Societal Goal (2030): Increase belief in shared success by 40% — reducing zero-sum mindsets and expanding win-win thinkingMeasurement Partner: Mosaicli Collective Mindset Survey
