By now, the importance of culture should be well understood, and as the Great Resignation threatens to upend workforces, its importance is being felt more than ever. Confirming what culture is, though, and how to improve it can be a difficult task. If you’re looking to improve culture, though, it all starts with communication. One way to understand where you are is to hold frequent flash polls to pinpoint where you stand and how employees are feeling. You can also hold calibration sessions with focus groups and leaders to understand what they value about the current culture and how the organization could make it better. Hosting team-building activities to boost camaraderie is also beneficial, as is offering small perks like paid lunches or volunteer activities. Ultimately, though, your culture is tied to how empowered employees feel. If you’re transparent and communicative while providing them a voice and opportunity for meaningful feedback, it will go a long way in promoting a strong company culture.
