Culture Speak: Part Seven - Putting it all together

In the final episode of Culture Speak: The art of talking about work, I summarise the six previous episodes and talk about what it takes to not only put the learning together but also how to positively evolve the culture. 

I emphasise the need for continuous feedback and engagement, advocate for pulse surveys over traditional yearly assessments and highlight the significance of redefining culture collaboratively and ensuring that all employees feel a sense of ownership in the cultural journey. Building a vibrant culture is one thing, staying there is another challenge entirely!

Key takeaways:

• Sustained vibrant culture requires committed executive support.

• You can only have one skeptic in the team.

• Training managers is crucial for building culture.

• Culture is perpetual and constantly changing.

• Pulse surveys are more effective than yearly engagement surveys.

• People should rate their own culture for better insights.

• Engagement scores can significantly improve with ownership.

• Activities to maintain culture should be frequent and engaging.

• Everyone should have a say in defining culture.

• Creating a culture journey involves collective input.
