Come discover 4 great tips to build a great corporate culture, applicable in hybrid or remote workplaces, too.
You’re on your way to catapulting your company’s growth…below are the 4 essential tips:
Define Your Company’s Vision
If you want a talent to say “I want to be a part of this company,” you’ll have to first make them believe that your workplace is enabling them to contribute to a meaningful common purpose. While deciding if your company’s culture is up their alley, talents will consider more than just whether the role pays enough to sustain them. They'll also weigh whether their time spent at your workplace is worthwhile, which ultimately boils down to the direction of your company’s goals and values. Simply put, ambiguous vision = poor culture = lose talents.
Don’t Just Define The Visions and Values, Act On It
Your visions and values will only lay down the foundation to a great workplace culture if you or your leadership team genuinely act on it. The common saying “lead by example” can go a long way. Only by practising accountability, i.e. putting into action those declared visions and values, can you truly influence employees to remain in your team or, in the case of potential future talents, join your team. In essence, authenticity and accountability are the keys to “buying people into the process.”
Practise Two-way Communication
It always takes two to tango. Check if your company meets the criteria below to qualify as a healthy workplace with effective communication:
• Your teams freely exchange ideas and concerns without fear of being shut down or dismissed
• Employees are given feedback on their performance
• Employers collect feedback from employees on their performance
• Open communication at every level
Prioritise The Well-being of Employees
When your employees feel good, rest assured that your company is on the right track. Keeping employees happy while at work can be achieved in various ways:
• Introduce flexible work schedules
• Train up empathetic leaders
• Arrange wellness activities like meditations, group exercise, etc.
• Offer mentorship schemes
Sparking cultural changes or improvements might sound daunting and complex, but the rewards are certainly well worth it. Think increased employee satisfaction, longer retention, and better productivity…
