In a recent eBook, www.greatplacetowork.com outlines three ways to leverage company culture for business success at the level of the 100 Best Companies Work For:
Hire for Skill & Culture Fit
Often times, organizations hire for either skill or culture—but why not both? You may be kicking yourself down the road if you hire someone with a lot of skill but a poor fit to your company’s culture. The eBook suggests that hiring a strong culture fit first may be the best choice because you can train for skills later.
Put the Organization’s Values to Work
Sharing values within the entire organization can bring everyone together for one common purpose and can provide consistency throughout the organization in terms of how employees act toward internal and external customers.
Build on What Makes the Company Great
Every company has something unique and special about it. Find out what makes your organization so great and shine a big, bright light on it for employees and customers to see, and build upon it. This could greatly enhance the brand of the organization, not only for customers, but for prospective employees, too!
