Corporate Engagement

In today’s world of hybrid, virtual and in-person teams, the importance of building a strong corporate culture is critical to a business’s success.

As we learn how to work in new ways, it’s important that we keep the human element in our organizations. Corporate engagement strategies help unite teams and foster a sense of community. Having a strong sense of community is a high predictor that an employee will stay at an organization longer.

More than just money:
In general, corporate culture is a much more reliable predictor of industry-adjusted attrition than how employees assess their compensation.

Having a thoughtful approach to how teams come together can pay great dividends.

This can be accomplished in a range of ways:

Coordinating moments of connection through fun team lunches or activities
Organizing a team happy hour or after-work drinks to foster team connection
Encouraging idea sharing through brainstorms (“yes, and” approach)
Gathering insights, channelling focus and rallying teams through strategic planning

How we gather as teams impacts how employees feel and the effectiveness of our meetings. For example, having a quick team check-in at the beginning of the meeting to understand where people are can help manage expectations throughout the meeting. Taking the last 5-10 minutes to recap deliverables and the next steps as a group can help ensure everyone is on the same page. Small tweaks to existing processes and meetings can drive business efficiency.
