Your Corporate Strategy: It Just Doesn’t Matter? Part 27a
A high level
of awareness, insight, wisdom and commitment has to be cultivated, rewarded and
achieved in order to successfully develop and implement a positive employment
culture or change. Chances are it will not succeed from the bottom or middle up. It will not succeed if
it is only the mission of People Services and Talent Development. It must be committed to and take place
organization wide, from the very top down to everyone and everywhere within the
organization.
While
developing a positive employment culture a significant financial pay back is
gained by knowing where you are, what you can change and changes to track. As you begin to end the endless churn of employee
turnover and training, you will be able to free internal funds while positively
adding to your top line sales/revenues and, most importantly, your bottom line
profits.
Warning!!!
Culture change for financial gain
alone will result in a misdirected strategy; people will recognize this and the
strategy will fail!

By A Lack Of Collaboration? Fire Your CEO”.
