Let's talk a little bit about company cultures...
Our native culture, or the culture we're currently living in, influences us a lot. So, why would it be any different with the company culture that surrounds us at work?
Ultimately, we're social animals looking for connections, belonging, and a place to feel safe (to be ourselves, explore, make mistakes, and learn). So, let's remember that many of us spend around 40 hours per week working, whether in the office or from a remote location. That's a significant portion of our awake time, so spending this time in an environment that feels positive is vital. My question is: Does your company culture empower, support, include, and value all of your people?
Because if you want your people to do an outstanding job, the work environment must foster that, too. It's a challenging task, for sure, but if your business revenue and talent attraction/retention matter to you, then your company culture must, as well.
Company cultures are ever-evolving. And contrary to common belief, every company has a culture, may it be by default or, if you know the potential of it, by design. From experience, the best company cultures are cultivated intentionally with aspects such as the company's long-term goals, best behavior, and core values in mind. Upon that, other activities such as hiring, promotions, DEI, feedback, and going separate ways are built to create a cohesive culture everybody will enjoy.
By the way, I specialize in remote company cultures. Suppose you're operating with a global and fully distributed team; I can help you refine your company culture so it not only benefits from the remote setting but uses its specific characteristics to the advantage of the whole team.
Do you know the positive effects that companies with a healthy company culture enjoy?
less turnover and sick time/burnouts because your people love where they work
"presenteeism" and "quiet quitting" will be replaced by ownership and results
performance and productivity will quickly increase because everyone pulls in the same direction
your reputation will attract top talent with little to no extra effort
you will have happier customers because your team is conveying its commitment
your people will go the extra mile to achieve set objectives because they share your vision
your people's loyalty and strong teamwork will grow the business because they know their work is valued
... the importance of a purposeful company culture is evident, but
HOW WILL I HELP YOU GET THERE?
There's one critical aspect for me: The company culture must be revamped WITH your people. As the competent adults they are, I will involve them and make sure they are active and valuable partners in this journey. It is a fact that people adapt much faster to change when they are part of it. So, instead of imposing and patronizing, we CO-CREATE!
My services around company cultures are designed to make this change engaging, lively, and rewarding by balancing the business and its people.
