How to Create a Culture Guide, Part 2

As I mentioned last week, in the modern workplace, employees are not motivated by what their employer needs to do to merely remain compliant, but rather, why their work matters and how it’s making an impact on the world. This is beyond the scope of even the best employee handbooks…which is why your organization needs something better: a Culture Guide.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Culture Guide
Last week on HR Party of One, I covered how to start creating your Culture Guide, including what it is as well as how to write Part I.
If you haven’t watched last week’s episode yet, I strongly recommend you do before watching this episode, where I cover Parts II and III of Culture Guides. By the end, you’ll be better equipped to write your own. I also share some actionable next steps for getting the most use out of it and improving the culture in your organization.
