Five culture activities every organisation should undertake
Train managers on how to build culture - Managers are the difference between success and failure, yet many accidentally destroy culture because they've never been taught how to build it. Invest in proper culture training for your managers—it's the difference between a team that thrives and one that merely survives. Find out more about what they need to know by clicking here.
Give employees time and opportunity to connect with each other - Relationships are the foundation of every high-performing culture, yet most organisations expect them to happen by magic. Create structured opportunities for genuine connection, to help people to understand and support each other.
Refresh the values as the business grows and changes - Values that were designed five years ago are unlikely to be relevant today, yet most companies cling to outdated ideals that no longer serve their reality. Running a regular values refresh isn't betraying your foundations, it's ensuring your culture grows with your business rather than holding it back. Find out more here.
Celebrate success - Recognition that happens months after the achievement has lost all its power to motivate and inspire. Worse still are the achievements that go unrecognised! Make celebration immediate, specific, and visible, because people repeat what gets recognised.
Performance manage those that undermine safety - Toxic behaviour spreads faster than good culture can get built, yet many leaders hope difficult people will simply improve on their own without the need for intervention. Address culture undermining swiftly because your best people are watching how you handle your worst.
