Hi friends! Liz here. 👋🏾
Today is the day!
Modern Admin’s first eBook – Building Culture That Works – is alive & well.
Your enthusiasm for this guide means so much, so thank you to all who reached out after last week’s preview. I had a few kinks to iron out and wanted to give you the best experience possible, so I appreciate for your patience. You can find our official cover below!
ICYMI last week, let’s quickly review what’s inside this guide. 😎
01. Monthly Culture Calendar
Similar to my former Excel versions, I’ve included a month-to-month fully mapped-out culture calendar recognizing well-known and not-so-well-known holidays for the team to engage in.
02. The “How To’s”
A breakdown of six cultural moments each month and what resources to leverage to celebrate them with your team — with considerations for remote and in-person teams.
03. The “To Do’s”
A proposed schedule + agenda for your All Hands, Lunch & Learns, Monthly Team Events, Employee Recognition Initiatives, and more.
04. Employee Wellbeing
A Wellness Wednesday topic to focus on each month with a step-by-step plan on how to activate it.

05. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)
A review of daily practices (ex: Recruiting, Learning & Development, Payroll) & tips on how they can be enhanced through the lens of DEI.

06. Resources
Beyond offering a monthly resource roundup of all the links, free templates, and tools you need each month to be successful, I’ve included a separate 16-page guide with 100+ vendors who are worth knowing in their given specialty.

The point of this ⬆
If we’re going to talk about building a culture that works, we need to review the tools that can help to elevate the employee experience. But not every business has the budget so I give you a step-by-step guide (with free tools) on how to plan your own Offsite, Learning & Development plan, and more.
FAQ:
A few of you had questions re: the guide, so I’m answering them below!
What months are included in the guide?
This edition covers November 2023 to October 2024. I’ll drop next year’s edition in Q3 2024.
How much does the guide cost?
The guide is $115.00. But I created a special code for Modern Admin subscribers. 🤎 You can purchase it for $85.00 using the code newsletter.
This guide replaces my Excel monthly culture calendar drops. As an admin, I know we all plan our culture at different times. Part of creating a 12-month guide was to allow you to plan as far in advance as you like.
Can I purchase this by month vs annually?
Not yet. While I might at some point make it available in smaller pieces, I would have to make adjustments. This particular guide is built to flow as a 52-week plan.
Of course! As always, you can access our Modern Admin Culture Calendar which includes all the holidays mentioned in the guide. And I’ll continue to share ideas & free resources via the newsletter.
Final Thoughts
My goal in creating Building Culture That Works was to provide a resource built for us, by us. I hope this guide helps to alleviate a bit of the stress and/or anxiety that comes with navigating the day-to-day. And if you have any additional questions, I’m always just an email away.
Until next time, stay modern.
-Your fellow admin
