How we transformed a struggling business into an award winning business that has doubled in size.

Several years ago, Kennedy’s Timbers had a toxic workplace and was weeks away from receivership.

Owner Michael Kennedy had tried different strategies to turn the business around, none of which worked sustainably. He then tried something radically different – he engaged The Culture Doctor to improve his workplace culture.

Today, Kennedy’s Timbers is an incredibly successful business. Twice as profitable as the industry average, Kennedy’s Timbers has doubled in size and significantly increased productivity. The business was also named Small Employer of the Year at the 2019 Queensland / Australian Training Awards.

Michael Kennedy attributes The Culture Doctor with transforming his business.

“I used to think workplace culture was fluffy, intangible nonsense. Now I think it’s as important as doing your tax.”
