Strategic HR Leader | Areas of Focus: Talent Acquisition, Employee Engagement, HR/TA Ops, DEI&B, Culture-led Growth
We talk a lot about culture at Continu. How do we define culture? How can we enhance it? Recently we've also been asking ourselves how we will maintain our culture as we continue to grow. Fast forward to last night: I'm reading the book "Redefining HR" and in Ch.6 the author poses the same question: How do you maintain culture as you grow? According to Lars, you don't. 🤔 Before you panic, let's let him explain: "Culture is the manifestation of values and habits and a million small things done millions of times. It's shaped by behavior - and behavior is not static. As your company grows, anchoring on things like values and behaviors becomes your DNA. Your culture will be interpreted differently by each of your employees, but your values should be consistent." The lesson here is one that I think we knew all along: You don't maintain culture as you grow because culture isn't that simple. It's not what you say. It's not a motivational statement or an aspirational state of being. Culture is the cumulative result of all of the behaviors taking place across the organization. It's all of the things you do every day. It's the result of how everyone in the org shows up and lives your core values. So next time you're tasked with influencing culture, anchor yourself to your values instead, and to the tangible ways you can bring them to life. ⚓

Culture is often referred to as “the way things are done around here.” But to be useful, we need to get more specific than that. The best companies recognize that there are three elements to a culture: behaviors, systems, and practices, all guided by an overarching set of values. A great culture is what you get when all three of these are aligned, and line up with the organization’s espoused values. When gaps start to appear, that’s when you start to see problems — and see great employees leave. If your best employees are leaving, take a hard look at your company. Find those gaps, and fix them.

"Designing Workplace Culture" Culture is the only thing that can truly differentiate any organization from its competitors because it is the only thing others can't ctrl-c. Having the best technology and equipment will not necessarily differentiate a company from its competitors, it simply means others can also buy the same technology and equipment. Note: Culture isn't something you can simply purchase because it is deeply ingrained in the values, beliefs, and behaviors of individuals within the organization. it is cultivated over time through shared experiences, leadership, and organizational norms. Trying to buy culture or copy would be like trying to buy relationships. culture requires genuine investment, understanding, and effort to develop and maintain, culture is unique to each organization and cannot be replicated or imported wholesale. Positive culture leads employees to treat the business as theirs

Culture is nuanced and can be hard to define. But, at its core, culture is the feeling you get walking into work each day. It is what motivates you, keeps you engaged, and empowers you to reach your personal and professional goals. https://hubs.la/Q01YqxRG0

"If your employees aren't passionate about your company's vision, they won't be enthusiastic about executing the plan, and then your strategy stands no chance." Company culture happens, whether you work on it or not. It represents the core of the company, and most of it is created by the business founders—sometimes unknowingly. The actions of the founders and executives speak louder than their words in the process of culture creation. Corporate culture is never definite. It's very complex and ever-changing. Culture is vulnerable and dependable on the moods of the people who define it. It's a crucial factor for the long-term success of every business. No matter how hard you work on your perfectly organized strategy, in the end, the people bringing it to life are the ones responsible for its success or its demise. Many company owners and executives focus on the financial, rational, and legal side of the business, but they fail to incorporate the appropriate culture. Culture is the way your company as a whole operates toward fulfilling your goals—but it also includes the behavior and core values of each employee. While strategy defines direction and focus, culture is the habitat in which strategy lives or dies. Strategy focuses on resourcefulness and skillfulness, while culture defines engagement, passion, and execution. With proper strategy, you create the rules for playing, but culture determines the way the game will be played. Hence, if not based on right values the culture would eat strategies for breakfast. #companyculture #peterdrucker #culture

Culture. It’s something we hear about often when talking about work, but what exactly is a “good work culture?” When I define a culture that is good, it must put people first. Understanding that we are all humans with real lives outside the four walls of where we work, that we cannot check emotions at the door, and that we all deserve dignity. It’s about cultivating a place where people feel valued and appreciated. It’s about being the example of service- starting with the company taking care of its people. When an organization cares first and foremost about the people it employs, those people are more loyal, dedicated, and happy! The people then provide the best of themselves, impacting your service, sales, and success. It’s a triple win. Who wants to work in an environment that sucks? No one! So why do we keep cultivating sucky environments and think that it won’t impact the success of our businesses?? I challenge you to put serving people first and see what kind of culture comes from it!
