Truer words were never spoken that corporate culture is important. That may be one reason why the entire month of September is dedicated to creating better workplace cultures - as well as on September 18.
According to NationalToday.com, "Global Company Culture Month happens every year during the month of September. The entire month is dedicated to creating a global dialogue about how we can make the world of work better through culture building. Thriving company culture is not something that happens overnight. This month of awareness was created to help companies celebrate great company cultures and explore how to improve broken company cultures...Employees are more engaged in companies with positive workplace cultures, where they feel supported and empowered to do their best work. It is important to focus on improving employee engagement, satisfaction, and happiness to achieve this. This will lead to increased productivity and improved results from all employees."
And, did you know, created by the Global Company Culture Association in 2019 and observed every year on September 18th, GLOBAL COMPANY CULTURE DAY is a day for companies and leaders to focus on ensuring that their corporate culture functions in a way that, above all, maximizes the happiness of employees?
According to Tercon Partners, "Culture is a company's personality. Culture defines the environment in which people work – the values, beliefs, behaviors, and underlying assumptions that drive every aspect of the organization's activities. Culture exists in all organizations, whether it is created through careful design or evolves organically."
I recently gained some inspiration from Justin Wright and wanted to share his commentary:
"Leaders are like Wi-Fi.
Good ones connect and empower you.
Bad ones leave you frustrated and unproductive.
Think about the best leader you ever had.
You felt seen. Supported. Unstoppable.
Now think about the worst.
The anxiety. The micromanaging.
The slow erosion of your confidence.
The difference is night and day.
Great leaders:
Have your back when things go wrong.
Push you to grow, not to break.
Listen more than they talk.
Celebrate your wins.
They're the ones who:
Help you see your potential.
Make you believe in yourself.
Create a team that feels like home.
Understand and manage their own emotions.
Toxic leaders? They do the opposite:
They take credit for your work.
They micromanage every little thing.
They play favorites and create drama.
They blame you when things go south.
Working for them feels like:
Losing your passion for what you do.
Feeling emotionally drained.
Never being good enough.
Walking on eggshells.
So, leaders, remember:
Your TEAM'S SUCCESS is YOUR LEGACY."
SHARE THIS: Your team's success is your legacy. ~Justin Wright #GlobalCompanyCultureDay #EmployeeExperience #DebbieLaskeysBlog
