Take advantage of focus group opportunities
The
"Final Four" of a year's worth of tips to define and refine your
business culture to feature and foster employee engagement. It's your culture to engage.
Invite continuous feedback regarding relevance and value of business culture.
Keep
your culture up to date with your industry, your market, your employee
base. Implement a specific process to receive confidential feedback
from employees, supervisors, managers, and leaders.
Take advantage of informal “focus group†opportunities.
A true business culture has both an inward and an outward impact. Seek
and seize opportunities to hear what customers, suppliers, competitors,
and community members see as your business culture, its relevance and
its value.
Compare and contrast your business culture with other companies you consider “culture to engage†benchmarks.
How do other companies build employee engagement into their business
cultures? What aspects of their culture generate and continue employee
engagement?
Conduct a full-scale meeting to refine your culture to engage.
Culture that is not nurtured becomes stale. Annually at least, meet
with your leadership team to take a hard look at your culture. Refine
as necessary.
