Competitive Corporate Cultures

By R. Bruce Dalglish, CEO of Alliance Hospice

Today’s workforce is picky, in some industries more than others.  Candidates diligently research companies before applying for new jobs – and one of the key components they look for is a positive corporate culture.  Nowadays, many companies feel the need to improve their workplace culture not only to retain current employees and avoid turnover, but as a recruiting method linked to the public perception of their workplace.

If a company is determined to hire new and high quality talent, they need to be prepared to compete for that calibre of a candidate.  For companies to be perceived as desirable places to work, they need to make the cultivation of positive corporate cultures a priority.  Ultimately, this competition among corporate cultures will not only land quality hires, improve employee retention and prevent costly turnover/transition costs – it will help, not hurt, a company’s overall productivity.

Committing time to nurturing a positive work climate is not a waste.  It’s a long term investment that is interlinked with profitability.
