Ask Your Employees…

By R. Bruce Dalglish, CEO of Alliance Hospice

Tapping into your employees’ insight is a productive exercise to explore.   Your employees’ assessment of your company’s current workplace culture is a helpful way to determine the level of your employees’ overall satisfaction with their work conditions and environment.   By discovering what your employees’ likes and dislikes are, you will procure invaluable insider information to help improve and nurture the most positive workplace culture that is best suited to the specific needs of your staff and company.

Your employees can provide feedback about which elements of their job experience they enjoy the most, or offer examples about why your company is a wonderful place to work.  Understanding which elements of your current workplace atmosphere are positive is a way to determine which direction to pursue, focus on and even improve upon.  Likewise, obtaining a clear picture of aspects of the corporate culture that are not resonating with your employees provides a sense of what to eliminate and adjust.

Furthermore, it’s important to expand, strengthen and leverage the pre-existing positive elements of your workplace environment, and make sure to capitalize on external branding of these elements to improve your image in the eyes of potential hires, customers and other businesses.
