So what does it mean to create a winning culture in your business? For CEO’s and business leaders it means creating a culture that inspires employees to innovate and achieve. It means creating a culture where employees collaborate to make a difference for customers every day. Lastly it means creating a fertile environment for learning, growth and celebrating our accomplishments. So what steps can your business take to make that happen?
Here are ten steps that provide a road map to success:
- Know who you are – Creating the culture starts with defining your businesses purpose and knowing your mission
- Identify what works and what doesn’t work – Ask managers and staff, use a survey and create an action plan from the results that involves everyone in changing and improving the culture
- Build trust – Use open communication with everyone in the business, share ideas and focus on how everyone can connect with the organisation’s mission statement
- Empower and appreciate your employees – Use strategic rewards and recognition to recognise employees, celebrate the good things they do and empower them to create
- Conduct a benefit review – Review utilisation, costs, and upsides. Once you’re certain your benefits make sense, communicate the why to your employees
- Identify your values – What sets your culture apart from other businesses, align your company’s personality, mission and values. Embrace things employees identify with that are uniquely yours
- Always look for ways to simplify, innovate and improve – Make being a great place to work part of your culture, always strive for continuous improvement in everything you do
- Give your employees permission to have fun! – Remember it’s the little things that take a culture from being great to being outstanding
- Encourage brainstorming and creativity in all your teams – Provide opportunities for employees to learn and grow, inspire them to do great work and give them input into what they do
- Have clear strategic goals – Follow a plan, share it with everyone, involve the whole organisation and get them on board, get everyone working in the same direction and to a common goal
