A common thread among successful organizations is strong and sustainable company culture. 91%<\/a> of managers in the U.S. say a candidate\u2019s alignment with the company culture is equal to or more important than skills and experience. It\u2019s safe to say, company culture is integral to all aspects of an organization. But what exactly does that look like \u2013 and how is it developed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the advancement and automation of HR technologies, HR teams no longer have to spend most of their time handling systematic tasks manually. Now, HR teams are uniquely positioned as leaders and influencers of positive change within their organizations; they can exert their efforts towards more strategic and people-focused goals for the betterment of the entire company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your HR team can do the same, so we outlined a few key steps they can take to strengthen your organization’s culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determine What Your Company Stands For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start with the basics when determining your company\u2019s culture. Does your organization have a specific and original mission statement, vision and set of goals for the future? If not, start there. Upper-level management may already have these ideas in mind, but your HR team can offer additional support with evolving concepts into concrete company values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Company leadership doesn\u2019t always have the time or availability to lead the organization and implement culture initiatives. Oftentimes, the executive team comes up with a company\u2019s values, messaging and overall culture, but HR implements it across the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits are another impactful way HR can influence company culture. The types of benefits allotted to employees can determine the culture of an organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a generous paternal leave program develops a culture that is encouraging of working parents.  Or, a flexible or hybrid work from home policy portrays the company\u2019s emphasis on a healthy work-life balance and creates a culture of accountability for employees to work productively without always being present in a physical office with supervisors nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other policies that HR can implement to influence culture include conflict resolution, harassment incidents, criteria for key performance indicators, onboarding and continuous training for employees of all tenures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give a Voice to All Employees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

HR departments may be the vehicle that drives a company\u2019s culture. Still, an even bigger impact can be made if other company employees have the opportunity to be involved in the conversation surrounding culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Forbes article<\/a>, employees who feel their voice is heard are 4.6 times more likely to feel empowered to perform their best work. So, inclusive company culture is directly tied to boosting employee productivity and resulting in more successes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging or providing an outlet for all company employees to share their opinions and perspectives regarding company culture will develop an environment of transparency and inclusivity and make employees feel valued and heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work with company leadership to determine the most effective way to open the conversation about culture to the rest of your organization \u2013 conversations could occur in the form of designated task forces, town hall meetings with executive leadership, online forms or other open forums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice What You Preach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When all is said and done, company culture can\u2019t exist without employees putting it into action every day<\/em>. As a collective HR team, set an example of embracing your company\u2019s core values, mission, and goals in everything you do at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s nice to have eloquently worded company statements surrounding culture, inclusivity and other core values, those statements mean nothing if they aren\u2019t implemented in all aspects of the organization. It takes a village to foster company culture \u2013 including everyone from HR to the C-suite and in all other departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only will a solid culture unify and strengthen your organization internally, but it will also be evident to business partners, clients, customers and other external parties, which will make working with your organization more appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build Your HR Dream Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

94% of executives and 88% of employees believe a distinct corporate culture is important to a business’s success, according to research<\/a> conducted by Deloitte. The time to find your HR team \u2013 or company culture curators \u2013 is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
