Connecting Purpose to Performance

For over two decades, Gwendolyn F. Turner has transformed workplaces from the inside out.

As Vice President at a leading precision medicine company, Gwen didn't just improve culture; she engineered a complete transformation that earned Great Place to Work certification, Forbes recognition for Best Company Culture, and a spot on America's Best Midsize Employers list. She knows what it takes to move the needle because she's done it at scale, in complex organizations.

Her expertise spans the full spectrum of what makes organizations work: social impact strategy, workplace culture design, talent development, and employee engagement. She's led initiatives across healthcare, life sciences, and higher education—industries where change is constant and culture directly impacts performance.

What sets Gwen apart isn't just her track record. It's her approach: grounded in data and designed for action. She partners with leaders to build cultures that are authentic, actionable, and aligned with business goals—where purpose and profit work together, not against each other.

Through ForSociety & Co., Gwen brings this proven methodology to organizations ready to do more than talk about culture and impact—ready to transform it.

Today, through ForSociety & Co., Gwen brings this blend of vision, strategy, and execution to organizations nationwide, helping leaders and teams build cultures where employees feel valued, businesses thrive, and communities benefit.
