HUMAN RESOURCES
Capture your culture . If you have high turnover , it ’ s likely culture is lacking . Evaluate your culture to gain a realistic baseline , and take immediate action on those things that are hurting the work environment . You can benefit from holding focus groups that include employees and leaders to gather the honest feedback you need . Ask powerful questions that give the insights you need , such as :
Where are we strong in our culture ? What are the top opportunities for improvement ?
Do you believe we have the right people in the right roles ?
Do you believe your manager values your work and contributions ?
Do you feel a sense of belonging in your team ? Within our organization ?
How can we improve our sense of community and belonging ?
Approach this evaluation with a beginner ’ s mindset and sense of curiosity , use empathy , and be humble . Remember to strengthen and celebrate the elements that are going well , as well as the opportunity areas .
Build and strengthen relationships . To get your employees invested at a deeper level , you must get involved with them at a deeper level . Work should feel like a beneficial part of life that provides fulfillment beyond income . Think about relationships in three levels : employee , team and organization . Put deliberate effort into building the essential skills of emotional intelligence at each level . Provide opportunities for employees to get to know one another on a personal basis ( this helps build community as well ). Encourage team leaders from across the organization to get together on a regular basis to boost departmental collaboration . Invest in mentoring programs that give exposure to the big-picture functions that make the entire organization run .
Are you ready to become a people-focused organization ? It ’ s the future of work , and it starts today . SFM
