Intersection launches iAcademy – your partner in building a better workplace culture
A positive workplace culture is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s a defining factor in whether a business succeeds. In today’s fast-moving market, Australian organisations with strong, respectful and inclusive cultures consistently outperform the rest. They retain talent, adapt to change, innovate faster, and build lasting trust.
And now, with the launch of Intersection’s iAcademy, organisations have a dedicated partner in achieving that goal.
Why Culture Drives Performance
A strong culture supports productivity, protects wellbeing, and builds resilience. When employees feel safe, valued and aligned with purpose, they’re more engaged and more likely to go the extra mile. The data backs it up — culture is a key predictor of performance.
Australia’s top-performing organisations are focused on five cultural enablers:
Trust: A critical driver of psychological safety, innovation, and employee engagement.
Flexibility: Empowers individual autonomy while promoting wellbeing and talent retention.
Purpose: Aligns personal motivation with organisational goals, bringing deeper meaning to work.
Safety, Respect and Inclusion: Builds collaborative, respectful teams by proactively addressing bias and barriers.
Values-Based Leadership: Strengthens culture through clear expectations, role modelling, and accountability.
But these outcomes don’t happen by accident. They require clear standards, confident leadership and capability building across every level of the business.
Start with Compliance — But Don’t Stop There
With the introduction of the Respect@Work Positive Duty and the requirement to manage psychosocial hazards under WHS laws, Australian employers now have clear legal obligations to prevent harm, not just respond after the fact.
These laws are an important baseline — but they’re not enough to deliver high performance on their own. To build thriving, future-ready organisations, we must go beyond compliance and invest in the kind of workplace culture where people and performance flourish together.
Introducing the iAcademy: Culture, Capability and Compliance
iAcademy is a dedicated learning and capability-building platform for boards, executive teams, people leaders, and risk and HR professionals.

Culture Is Strategy
Having a strong workplace culture is more than complying with your HR policies — it’s how your organisation’s competitive advantage is built and protected. The organisations that lead on trust, safety and inclusion are the ones that perform better, adapt faster, and retain talent longer.
With the launch of the iAcademy, Intersection is proud to support the next generation of culture-driven, compliant and high-performing workplaces across Australia.
