Employee Training to Make Your Workplace More Effective, Your Leaders More Successful
Legacy Business Cultures is a workplace training, coaching, and organizational development firm. For more than 27 years, it has helped businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits build workplaces that are more respectful and resilient. Founded by Paul Meshanko, author of The Respect Effect, the firm has trained over 500,000 people across 5 continents in 30+ languages.
The Business Case for Respect
Disrespect at work is expensive. It drives turnover, invites harassment and discrimination claims, and erodes the trust that high-performing teams depend on. Organizations that invest in respect-based culture don't just avoid these costs — they see measurably higher engagement and, per industry research, up to 218% higher revenue per employee. For HR leaders and executives, this isn't a compliance box to check. It's a performance strategy.
Leadership Development That Gets Results
Every organization already has the raw ingredients for its next generation of leaders — what's usually missing is the right guidance. Legacy's leadership development curriculum is built around three domains every effective leader needs: personal mastery (self-awareness, values, and leadership brand), relationship mastery (coaching, conflict navigation, and building a culture of respect), and technical mastery (communication, performance management, and critical thinking).
Delivered as a modular 1-to-4-day program by facilitators who've been leaders themselves, the training is built to help both current and emerging leaders apply what they learn immediately — not just sit through it. Clients including Apollo Mechanical Services and Eddie Bauer have used it to guide new managers and supervisors through mergers, restructuring, and rapid growth.
Who We Work With
Legacy has partnered with organizations ranging from 20 employees to 200,000+, across manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, government, law enforcement, and education. Clients include DuPont, Johnsonville, Cleveland Clinic, Progressive Insurance, and Toyota, alongside federal agencies such as the U.S. Coast Guard, EPA, and EEOC. Legacy is also a GSA contract holder (GS-02F-032CA), serving federal, state, and local government.
