Workplace Culture

4 weeks ago

Good morning CEOs and other organizational leaders. Today is another bright morning in a new week. Are you looking forward to stepping into the office this week and are you confident that your workplace culture is where you want it to be or are you and your Human Resources Manager overwhelmed by the personnel issues in your organization?

Workplace cultures are developed over time and a variety of elements contribute to workplace culture but as the leader of the organization, it begins with you.

Here are some questions to consider:

Have you and your leadership team created mission, vision, and values?
If you have done so, have they been updated in the last few years?
Do you continuously measure everything you and the organization does against the mission, vision, and values or have some of the decisions you’ve made run counter to them?
Are new employees hired by their ability to support the culture. How have they exemplified those values with past employers?
Are employees evaluated and rewarded based on the mission, vision, and values?
Are you consistent in your application of what you do in similar circumstances and do you uphold the values when considering behavior in the organization?
Do you inspire confidence and energy in your staff?
Do you want to make improvements in your culture and are you willing to put the time into helping lead the change?

At Southwestern HR Consulting (SWHRC) we can begin with a climate survey to give you a sense of what your staff and managers feel about the organization…both strengths and areas for improvement. From there, we can facilitate with you and your other leaders to create or update your mission, vision, to identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and to help you down the path of goal creation. We can also support you as you work through every day challenges. Contact us at SWHRC today to find out more!
