Engineering your Culture

Oct 21, 2021

Company culture is an integral part of business. It’s the shared set of values, beliefs and attitudes that guide your entire organization and affects nearly every aspect of your company.

The way you treat your customers and employees and the types of candidates you attract for open positions are all reflections of your company culture

 A strong company culture will boost productivity, decreases turnover and improve employee engagement and morale.  

 On the flip side, allowing negative behaviors and toxic attitudes to fester will cultivate an unfavorable work experience and poor culture.  

So how can you create a strong and positive work culture. Well the first step is to be intentional with your core values and culture initiatives. 

Great leaders are intentional about creating and shaping their culture.

The first step to a successful workplace culture is aligning individual and organizational values. Making sure we’re all on the same page and heading in the same direction. 

Healthy cultures also take active steps to connect people across the organization through activities, personal recognition, and communication.

High-performing workplaces understand the importance of replacing old performance evaluation systems with a coaching mindset. 

A great culture is also one where employees can fulfill their highest potential.

One of the most important roles a leader has is creating a positive culture. Be sure that you are doing the things to create a positive culture that enhances the talent, diversity, and happiness of your workforce and where people want to invest their time and future.
