Recruit Employees to Match Corporate Culture Tones

By R. Bruce Dalglish, CEO of Alliance Hospice

When hiring new employees, companies tend to focus solely on a candidate’s skills and experience. In addition to finding a qualified employee that meets the skillset and criteria for a particular position, hiring personnel should also recruit candidates that match the tone of their company’s corporate culture. At Alliance Hospice, we seek employees that are not only skilled in the realm of hospice care, but also encompass the type of sincerity, compassion and empathy necessary to fit into our culture.

The hiring process should be fully comprehensive. Finding employees that will have an easy time fitting into the pre-established work culture is a plus. This hiring tactic saves time, facilitates smooth integration into the team, and reinforces the values of a company’s corporate culture. Existing personnel will adapt better to someone with similar workplace values, and the company’s turnover rate will likely be reduced. By planning ahead and making corporate culture an important part of the hiring and screening process, companies and all staff will benefit in the long run.
