Maria and Michelle would like to welcome you all to their new ‘Culture, Culture, Culture’ series, which is really a spin off from their earlier ‘Shut the Culture Up’ series. The first installment today, titled ‘Mission, Vision, Values’, is one that is always important, but especially now, given the current state of the world. Some companies get these right, but many do not, so there couldn’t be a better time for our skilled and experienced hosts to walk you through these crucial components and provide their valuable insights and advice along the way.
They begin by reviewing the process they went through when creating the mission, vision, and values for REL Talent, and then explore the issues that can arise when this is not done well, communicated properly, or ‘bought into’. They then examine each of these three components in depth, providing definitions, examples, and strategies, which will prove beneficial to employers and employees alike. To conclude, they demonstrate how these components are important to an organization’s culture, and how REL Talent can help you simplify the creation of a positive culture within your company. Once again, this is an important topic at any time, but it has never been more important than it is now, with all that is and has been going on in the world this year. You will quickly discover that today’s episode provides a powerful introduction to this month’s series about the simultaneously simple and complex nature of establishing culture.
