Words like welcome, excellence, trust, honest, proud, and competent were running themes in these for financial companies. Who wouldn’t want to work for a company that promotes and lives these values?
HR, Me as a Manager, & Challenges
Being a Manager currently I believe that diversity, inclusion, culture, and surveys (some way for the team to have a voice) are key contributors to encouraging, enabling, and ensuring that the company or organization you work for will have words like the four companies I chose spoken of them. These companies practice these components, therefore solicit the comments provided, and are ranked as some of the top places to work for.
As noted in the lectures this week HRM is a key factor in the organizational culture that is felt. If done properly people feel good and then do a better job, therefore providing better output.
The hospital I work for just had an employee survey. We do this yearly organization wide and it is much like the Gallup survey discussed in the assigned Buckingham/Coffman chapter. We have used different platforms but switched to Perceptyx this year. Employee Engagement Solutions | Perceptyx I have a very engaged group of people and HR does a great job of encouraging everyone to participate as well as give updates regarding the progress of each department but I have to say even with my push and the positive energy from HR, it was tougher to get people to do it than most years. I believe people don’t want to spend 15-20 minutes answering questions any longer, that is a long time to a young person. In the past people were more willing to take the time. I am interested in how to navigate this in the future and if the organization switches gears as well as if the four companies I chose are finding it more difficult and this generation wants to move quick!
As far as culture, diversity, and inclusion, I think this is one of the very best things HR can support but Managers really need to be the catalyst for it on a team. In my experience HR has taken more of a traditional approach to how to run a team and the way “Michael” managed his restaurant in the intro of “First, Break All The Rules” would have been frowned upon. While I don’t practice all of what Michael did nor would my HR department support it, I am a strong believer in breaking conventional wisdom, adapting to each person as an individual, and thinking outside the box.
