In today s workforce, it s hard to talk about a successful company without mentioning their killer culture. You know: the vision, values, language and beliefs the foundation, really that the company is built upon.
In the recruiting process, a strong culture is seen as a benefit to employees, who no longer only judge salary as the top indicator of satisfaction they re also looking for alignment between their values and their company s values. By inviting your employees to immerse themselves in the fabric of your company, you re giving them the autonomy to engage more strongly and feel invested in what they re doing. That s where retention comes into play.
It s no surprise, then, that employers around the globe are finding effective ways to clearly communicate their culture to new and existing employees. A great place to start the conversation? Your employee handbook.
Your company employee handbook is the first real piece of cultural identity that new employees engage with. Whether your handbook is a 200-page Word Document with top-to-bottom policy, or a colourful, visual and interactive extension of your brand employee handbooks are an employee s first chance to evaluate whether you actually walk your walk when it comes to culture.
