Workplace culture is a trending topic in business, and it’s no surprise. Consider the following: ◦ A Gallop study found that 75% of the reason people leave their jobs is because of their managers. ◦ 38% of employees who felt they were treated with incivility "intentionally decreased" their work quality, and 25% took their frustrations out on customers according to a Harvard Business School study of over 60,000 employees. ◦ Another Gallop study found that a whopping 87% of employees are not engaged at work, costing US companies an estimated $450 - $550 billion per year. ◦ The Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) estimates replacing an employee can cost between 90% - 200% of the departing employee’s annual salary. ➤ If you think people issues are soft and fluffy, guess again. There are real and tangible costs to people problems, which often arise from disruptive or poorly led environments. And people don’t really leave managers, they leave cultures. Because it’s the culture that allows those ineffective or toxic managers to prevail. Culture is the heart of perculcha. That’s why it’s at the heart of our name (per-formance, cul-ture, cha-nge)! Because when the is culture aligned, people are aligned. And aligned people make happy and productive employees. Research has shown that happy employees can outperform unhappy employees by over 20%! And that translates into more time and revenue. It’s time to make your workplace culture a priority. Because the longer you wait, the more time and resources you'll have to dedicate (down the road) to internal issues that should never arise, detracting you from your brand-building efforts and investments. It’s time to make your culture a branding asset. ➤ Go beyond HR and learn more about what’s involved with creating the culture you want.
