In the final episode of Culture Speak: The art of talking about work, I summarise the six previous episodes and talk about what it takes to not only put the learning together but also how to positively evolve the culture.
I emphasise the need for continuous feedback and engagement, advocate for pulse surveys over traditional yearly assessments and highlight the significance of redefining culture collaboratively and ensuring that all employees feel a sense of ownership in the cultural journey. Building a vibrant culture is one thing, staying there is another challenge entirely!
Key takeaways:
Sustained vibrant culture requires committed executive support.
You can only have one skeptic in the team.
Training managers is crucial for building culture.
Culture is perpetual and constantly changing.
Pulse surveys are more effective than yearly engagement surveys.
People should rate their own culture for better insights.
Engagement scores can significantly improve with ownership.
Activities to maintain culture should be frequent and engaging.
Everyone should have a say in defining culture.
Creating a culture journey involves collective input.
