The core of culture
From Human Resources to Human Relations
We’ve long known that culture is crucial to the success of people working together. Yet for decades, we’ve tried to manage it as though it were the organization’s property. We come up with a set of core values and voilà: there they are, in black and white. This approach alienates people instead of bringing them together.
We’re also gaining a better understanding of what people need to grow. Having a say in the work they’re responsible for, for example. Opportunities to develop and a sense of belonging.
The reality is that culture takes shape in small, meaningful moments.
Moments that, unfortunately, rarely make it onto meeting agendas.
It’s up to leaders to make space to recognize and celebrate those moments, and to connect each employee’s story with the story of the organization.
