SCWCC Business Lunch
“Building a Positive Organizational Culture”Most companies are so obsessed with perfecting their product or service, they don’t spend much time developing or maintaining their company’s culture. That’s a BIG mistake. They don’t realize the importance of a shared vision/mission and values until they aren’t getting the results they expected or the company is spinning its wheels.
It’s important to instill a clear common mission that all are aware of and can focus on, like the north star. It’s just as important to create a solid ethical foundation and insist on adherence at ALL levels. Surrounding all of this is strong, visible leadership, timely communication and recognition. If implemented correctly the results are often:
- Improved business results
- More effective, innovative and happy workforce / greater productivity
- Increased employee retention
