Joining me on this episode of the Culture Secrets podcast is Jennifer McClure. She has experience in various HR roles, including leadership and executive positions. She also spent about four years in executive search. Since 2010, she has had her own business as a professional speaker, focusing on people strategies and talent acquisition.
In the current landscape, talent is scarce, and people are changing jobs more frequently. This makes it challenging to recruit and retain talent, as candidates often demand higher salaries and have shorter career tenures. The way people approach work has shifted, and organizations need to adapt to these changes.
Culture has become a significant factor for individuals considering job opportunities. Even before 2020, culture was already a top consideration for job seekers. However, defining culture can be challenging as it varies based on individual perspectives and experiences within the organization. Companies need to ensure their stated values align with the actions and behaviors of their leaders and employees.
To evaluate the culture of an organization, job seekers should first determine what is important to them. They should then research companies and ask relevant questions during interviews to gauge whether the organization aligns with their values and preferences. Platforms like Glassdoor can provide aggregate employee reviews, although it's essential to consider the overall picture and not rely solely on disgruntled employees' comments.
Overall, understanding and assessing culture is crucial for both job seekers and organizations. A strong culture that aligns with employees' values can attract and retain top talent.

04/08/23 • 8 min

Gallup is the go to for research, especially when it comes to all things workplace. However, I think they got their latest message wrong. At least partly. I do agree that culture is one of the biggest leadership issue of our time. I don't believe that the workplace as we know it is dead. I think it's a great time to focus on creating a culture where employees feel valued and feel like they belong. When we do that, we'll create thriving workplaces where both employees and business succeed.
The importance of building a human centered culture.

When an employee feels they belong.

Valuing you employees and demonstrating leadership are two key components to building a strong people centered culture in the workplace. There’s been a lot of talk about how not to treat your employees thanks to reports detailing President Biden's fits of anger and profanity laced tirades after earlier announcing he would “fire on the spot” anyone who treated staffers with disrespect.

The point is it doesn’t matter if you are Commander-in-Chief or a CEO or the leader of a production line, your title doesn't make you a leader. There's a big difference between being a boss and a leader. Employees have big expectation of leadership, especially if you are working to build a human-centered culture in the workplace. People believe behavior over words. Titles mean crap if your behavior doesn’t line up.
The question we're asking this week is: Are you a boss or a leader?

Culture Secrets - Episode 12: Jana Adams with Touchstone Energy
play

06/05/23 • 31 min

On this episode, I talk culture with Jana Adams. She's the executive director of Touchstone Energy. She says culture is at the top of mind of today's cooperative CEOs. I've worked in the co-op world for over 25 years and happen to believe that co-ops are uniquely positioned to create great cultures and use that to attract some of the best and brightest of this next generation entering the workplace.
Few takeaways to listen for:

  • Strategy doesn't matter if you don't have the culture in place to implement it. You need a culture in place that makes employees feel safe embracing new ideas and processes.
  • Jana says flexible work schedules can positively impact culture when you focus on collaboration and connection. She also shares tools you can use to do just that.
  • Associations should play a role in fostering cultures inside their industry.
  • Don't be afraid if everyone doesn't get behind your culture change. It's called self-selections. Some people will leave because they aren't in alignment and that's ok.

In this episode, I’m excited to introduce you to Daniel Lawrence. He and his business partner, Christian, created a tech company called Bots For That and are located in London, England.

When I began writing the Culture Secrets book, (join the waitlist for the book at https://www.cheIliephillips.com/waitlist) I wanted to showcase great cultures from a multitude of industries and business types as well as offer a global perspective on the workplace. When a friend offered to introduce me to Daniel, I jumped at the chance, because not only did it open the doors to an insider look at the tech world, but it also gave me a look into how culture is different in a start-up operation and how the workplace differs in other countries.
