“As you acquire more power at work, being blind to how respect shows up makes the concept even more difficult and problematic." - Dr. Kristie Rogers Company culture is a key in conversations of respect and the complex interplay between leadership, communication, and employee experience. A common struggle in most workplaces is the one-directional flow of communication. This leads to many misconnections from both employees and leadership, causing organizational health to suffer. We provide behavior-driven insight into who you're employees are, what they need, and how to keep them engaged. -------------------- Check out the link in the comments to learn more about Dr. Rogers' work and "The Key Factor Employers foret when building a better office culture." #orghealth #hr #hrinsight #hrofthefuture #futureofworknow #peopleops #employeeexperience #culture #organizationalhealth #workforceanalytics

I'm thrilled to share about the session I participated in today at The Conference Board of Canada, #BWC2024 about Rehumanizing Workplaces to Create a Thriving People-First Culture featuring speaker Hamza Khan. Rehumanizing workplaces is an essential concept in response to the modern trend of dehumanization in work environments. Many workplaces today can be described as unhealthy environments where employees feel undervalued, stressed, and disconnected. The analogy of neglecting a plant illustrates how neglecting employees' needs can lead to a lack of productivity and well-being. Hamza Khan shared that one of the root causes of dehumanization is often attributed to incompetent management. This highlights the urgent need for a radical departure from the status quo. It's essential to imagine and strive for a better workplace where foundational assumptions are not driven by greed and fear.   He also highlighted the transition from dehumanizing to rehumanizing workplaces centers on valuing people and embracing five key VALUES: Transparency, Openness, Understanding, Compassion, and Humility. Additionally, implementing 10 strategies focuses on improving leadership effectiveness and team dynamics. These strategies include conducting listening tours for employee feedback, enhancing one-on-one meetings, shadowing teams to understand challenges, providing leadership opportunities regardless of experience, promoting inclusive decision-making, measuring employee well-being, assuming positive intent, empowering teams to remove obstacles, addressing perception gaps, and adopting a holistic leadership mindset. Through these efforts, organizations can create environments where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. Prioritizing employee satisfaction and engagement over profit-driven motives is essential, involving the creation of practices and initiatives that prioritize employee well-being and fulfillment.   Thanks to this session, I've gained insight into embracing core values and implementing thoughtful strategies aimed at fostering engagement and personal growth, while prioritizing the well-being and empowerment of employees. This offers us the chance to create environments where individuals thrive, rather than simply survive. Let's undertake this journey collectively, prioritizing people and constructing workplaces that are both productive and enriching, fostering a humane atmosphere.

🌟 Building a Positive Work Environment: Small Steps, Big Impact! 🌟 As HR professionals, we often focus on major initiatives, but sometimes, small actions have the biggest impact. Here are three easy practices I believe every workplace can adopt to make a difference: 1️⃣ Encourage Open Conversations: Monthly check-ins or feedback sessions with employees. When people feel heard, motivation and productivity increase naturally. 2️⃣ Recognize, Recognize, Recognize! 🎉 – Acknowledging achievements, big or small, fosters a culture of appreciation. Recognition doesn’t have to be grand—sometimes a simple “Well done!” goes a long way. 3️⃣ Empower Flexibility: In today’s fast-paced world, flexibility in work hours or remote options is invaluable. It’s not just a perk; it shows respect for each person’s unique lifestyle. Let’s start implementing these practices and watch our workplaces become environments where people truly want to be! 💼✨ #HR #EmployeeEngagement #WorkCulture #Leadership #PositiveWorkplace #EmployeeWellbeing

"I see you, I hear you". Being seen and heard is a fundamental aspect of human connection and validation. When you enter a room and realize you are not wanted, it can evoke negative emotions and reactions.  Organizations play a critical role in meeting this fundamental need to be seen and heard in the workplace. By fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and open communication, they can ensure that employees feel valued and acknowledged. Here are several strategies organizations can employ to meet this need: 1. Create an Inclusive Culture Implement diversity and inclusion programs. Support Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). 2. Encourage Open Communication Maintain open-door policies. Use regular feedback mechanisms like surveys and one-on-one meetings. 3. Recognize and Acknowledge Contributions Celebrate achievements publicly. Provide personalized recognition. 4. Foster Team Collaboration Encourage team-based projects. Facilitate inclusive meetings. 5. Provide Professional Development Opportunities Offer training programs. Develop clear career paths and mentoring programs. 6. Empower Employee Voice Establish employee panels with access to senior management. Involve employees in decision-making processes. 7. Support Work-Life Balance Offer flexible working arrangements. Implement wellness programs. 8. Lead by Example Ensure leaders model listening and acknowledging their teams. Train leaders in empathy and compassion. By focusing on these strategies, organizations can cultivate an environment where every employee feels seen, heard, and appreciated, ultimately driving success and fostering a positive workplace culture. #HumanConnection #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement

In today's dynamic work environment, employee expectations have evolved, and organizations need to adapt to meet these shifting needs. While salaries and benefits remain essential, employees are now seeking more holistic fulfillment from their workplace. Here are some key expectations: * Growth Opportunities * Work-Life Balance * Recognition and Value * Inclusive and Supportive Culture * Purposeful Work Meeting these expectations requires organizations to be adaptable and empathetic, ensuring that employees feel valued, supported, and motivated to contribute their best. #Follow : Kavita Patel Video Credit: Lee Cockerell #EmployeeExpectations #WorkplaceCulture #CareerGrowth #WorkLifeBalance #EmployeeRecognition #InclusiveWorkplace #PurposeDrivenWork #EmployeeEngagement #OrganizationalCulture #Leadership #Business

COVID-19 has taught us the importance of resilience and teamwork. Together, we are stronger. The pandemic also highlighted the compounding effect when personal well-being declines. It is crucial for all businesses to prioritise effectiveness and make decisions that positively impact performance. Extensive research emphasises the significance of corporate culture in relation to firm performance. By intentionally cultivating a culture of well-being, organisations can create an additive effect where everyone thrives. When employees feel supported and cared for, Gallup research reveals that 95 percent of them are engaged. Even individuals who may not be thriving but perceive that the organisation values them still show 83 percent engagement. Engagement and well-being go hand in hand and contribute to firm performance. By prioritising well-being and fostering a supportive culture, organisations can create an environment where employees thrive, leading to increased engagement and improved overall performance 👈🏻 #4Seeds #Wellbeing #PrioritiseWellbeing
