Discussions around leadership today almost always reference the recent pandemic. Although we might want to move past it, overlooking the most crucial lesson from that period—gratitude in leadership—would be a mistake. Traditionally, employee engagement was viewed through the lens of performance—how could we motivate staff to achieve goals and contribute to company culture? However, with rising demand and a shrinking labor pool, the focus has shifted to a more comprehensive view of work as just one part of an employee's life. Now, the key question is: How can we create an environment that enables our people to thrive both professionally and personally?

A strong company culture is crucial for the success of a business for several reasons, be it employee engagement, talent attraction, innovation, or adaptability and resilience in the face of adversity. Organisations with a clear set of values and principles are better equipped to navigate challenges and adapt to market shifts, but developing and nurturing a positive company culture requires intentional effort from leadership and employees alike. In our latest Redgrave whitepaper, Managing Partner David Angel and Head of our People & Culture practice Naomi Barton explore the many layers of workplace culture and its impact on performance. #Leadership #CultureMatters #WorkplaceCulture

You’ve heard of a purpose-driven life. But what about a purpose-driven work culture? Purpose is more than just a buzzword—it’s a powerful driver of employee engagement and organizational success. When employees feel connected to their work and motivated by a shared mission, it becomes more meaningful for everyone. Shannon Schulyer, the US Chief Purpose & Inclusion Officer at PwC shares her insights and strategies for building a purpose-driven organizational culture. https://lnkd.in/g7fXU-aY #purpose #culture #DEI #leadership

Does your business have a purpose beyond profit? Usually financial success is a byproduct resulting from solving a problem or making something better. After all, that’s what people pay for. If your mission statement is just a bunch of uninspiring corporate BS, put yourself in your customers’ shoes. How are you adding value and improving life for them? Use that answer to help define your purpose. The more you understand the deeper need you address, the more powerful your purpose will be. Having a clear purpose for your organization isn’t just a ‘nice to have,’ or a trend to attract new talent, it’s the strategic North Star that aligns all your time, funding, and resources towards a common goal. And it’s how to know if you are truly being successful, no matter what your profits are.

A positive workplace culture can lead to increased employee engagement, higher productivity, and better overall performance. Here are a few steps to cultivate a winning company culture: Clear Vision & Values: Establish and communicate a clear vision and set of core values that resonate with your team.

In his book, “Road to Flourishing,” Al Lopus argues “that workplace culture determines employee engagement, and employee engagement determines organizational success” (7). His book then explores “Eight Keys to a Transformed Culture.” The Eight Keys are: Fantastic Teams, Life-Giving Work, Outstanding Talent, Uplifting Growth, Rewarding Compensation, Inspirational Leadership, Sustainable Strategy, and Healthy Communication. In Chapter 1, Lopus defines #culture as “‘how we do things around here.’ It comprises the shared beliefs and values of a group, expressed in priorities, decisions, and above all behaviors” (19). Statistical analysis of extensive data gathered by his consulting firm reveals that the eight elements identified above “account for over 80 percent of what engages employees at work” (24) Chapter 2: Fantastic #Teams “Flourishing cultures nourish cohesive teams that effectively engage in passionate, open debate. Because they function so well together, these teams accomplish more than what any one individual can do on their own” (23). Lopus identifies the following characteristics of fantastic teams: they communicate well, get things done, share credit for success, love being together, bring their whole selves to work, are inclusive and diverse, work through challenges with each other by facing and resolving conflict, and trust each other (31). Chapter 3: Life-Giving #Work “Flourishing cultures engage people in work that is full of meaning, significance, and purpose. Staff members are devoted to their role and can utilize their skills and spiritual gifts in what they do” (24). Here are some of the characteristics of life-giving work: it fits people’s gifts, it tells people what to expect (clarity of vision and goals), it gives people the authority to succeed, it is fun, and it embraces the whole person (55-61). Lopus suggests three ways that leaders can help employees find joy in their work. First, they must lead by example by being a life-giving person themselves. Second, they must keep people close to the results, i.e., make sure that all employees are connected to the valuable work being done on the front lines of the organization. Third, the organization needs a robust theology of work. For the rest of my reflection on the book, see upcoming posts over the next few weeks.
