Hiring the right people for your organization is key to a successful company and its culture. This weeks’ special guest, Terry Walkerly, joins us to discuss the importance of establishing a company’s core values, personal values, and how to best implement them.
Takeaways
- Avoid holding onto toxic employees longer than you should. If there is an issue, address it directly and take action.
- Try to also avoid letting stress and fear impact your decision to make role changes.
- Be selective with who you place your trust in.
- It is critical to have your company culture and values stem from the head(s) of the company.
- Establish your personal values and balance them with your company’s values.
- See that your employees take pride in their personal lives so that they will take pride in your business and their work.
- Hire employees that closely match or reflect your company’s core values. Create an interview guide that includes questions that play into your core values.
- Prepare in advance for an employee departure. Don’t let losing a key employee inhibit your business growth.
- Connect with your employees for reviews more than once per year. Being transparent and honest will help strengthen the trust and pride in the workplace.
- Create a communication guide for both employees and your customers.
- It is not only important to articulate your company’s core values to your employees but to also implement them.
- Remember that out of every crisis, can come beauty, growth, and evolution.
