4 Underutilized Tools to Improve Workplace Culture
Great workplace cultures provide a critical competitive advantage for organizations. Yet amid external and internal disruptions, many companies struggle with creating engaging employee experiences and inspiring cultures. With so many ways to improve workplace culture, what should companies focus on first?
Brand new research from our 2018 Global Culture Study shows four underutilized tools can make a powerful impact on the employee experience and workplace culture: special projects, continuous performance feedback, appreciation, and purpose messaging. By taking advantage of these easy strategies, companies can significantly improve six areas that influence culture the most: purpose, opportunity, success, appreciation, wellbeing, and leadership.
In this webinar, Alexander Lovell, Manager of Research and Assessment at the O.C. Tanner Institute, and Samantha Austin, Senior Research Analyst, share brand new research on the current state of workplace culture. Alex and Sam reveal how 4 simple tools give companies an easy way to create peak employee experiences and build a company culture that retains, engages, and attracts top talent.
- Why workplace culture is crucial to a company’s success
- The current state of workplace culture around the 6 talent magnets
- The power of connecting the employee value proposition and customer value proposition around a meaningful purpose
- The unique influence of special projects, continuous performance feedback, and appreciation on building peak employee experiences and a strong workplace culture
