HOW TO BUILD YOUR COMPANY CULTURE

1. HIRE WISELY

Hiring exceptional people is how you build an exceptional company: attracting - and retaining - the best Executives and talent is what will allow your company to grow. !Interview your candidate wisely: the hiring process is not only the moment to examine the Executive’s resume, learn about his/her past experiences and question his/her professional skills. It’s the occasion, for both the Executive and the company, to find out whether they can establish a long term collaboration based on core competency, personality traits and attributes.

Ask yourself the question: is this candidate a good cultural fit?

2. CREATE AN INNOVATIVE OFFICE

55 percent of employees would exit their traditional jobs for a more creative self-employed track*. !Anything, from  a stimulating floor plan that encourages collaborative work, to the availability of special technologies and tools, to exclusive incentives, can engage your team with your company and its goals.

Ask yourself the question: how can I think outside of the box and create a stimulating office?

*According to Creative Jobs Report (March 2014) based on Harris Poll data.

3. SHARE YOUR VISION, SHARE RESPONSIBILITY

Consider your employees your first customers and always make sure to communicate your goals, strategy and overall vision in a clear and effective way. !Also, sharing responsibility will provide a sense of community, encourage entrepreneurial accountability as well as passion and creativity, that ultimately results in useful insights and diligent work.

Ask yourself the question: I know where my company is going, does my team know it too?

4. CREATE BONDING RITUALS

Encouraging your team to establish a relationship outside of the office can lead to strategic connections, essential for a healthy and stimulating work environment. !Try to create exclusive bonding rituals: special events, celebrations and holiday gatherings can reinforce your company culture from within.

Ask yourself the questions: how can I engage my team?

5. ALLOW FLEXIBILITY

Flexibility is ultimately what matters the most to the employee after remuneration, so let’s never forget the human factor. Getting to know our team on a personal level and being flexible regarding hours and special needs can really make the difference.

Ask yourself the question: how can I accommodate my employees’ needs without affecting the result of their work?
