Creating The Workplace Culture You Desire: Start With The Rules Of Engagement

Wisdom goes that you get what you tolerate. Culture can’t be mandated. Rather, you have to nurture and be intentional about it. Companies with a strong corporate culture tend to see less stressed employees, which helps boost both employee engagement and improve work performance.

As leaders grapple with how to terminate increasing toxicity and elevate engagement, they must rethink how they are shaping and nurturing a culture that empowers people around a common focus. A great culture should provide continuous alignment to the mission, vision, goals, and values of the organization.

Is your corporate culture intentional, or generated without much thought?  Are your core company values at risk of becoming nothing but words on the wall?
Research shows that people would not apply to a company unless its values align with their own personal values and a majority said they would look for a new job if their company's culture deteriorated.

Company culture is an integral part of your business. It affects nearly every aspect from recruiting top talent to improving employee satisfaction. It’s the backbone of a highly effective workforce. So, how do you ensure a positive, engaging workplace culture?
