workplace culture
Considering buying a Ping-Pong table or installing craft
beer taps to dazzle both current and prospective talent?
Think again. While some of these trends are undoubted-ly
fun, they’re likely to fall flat in the long run if they aren’t
consistent with your company’s overall culture. As HR leaders, we
always want to tie our benefits to our organization’s overall values
to ensure they serve a deeper meaning and exert a positive influ-ence
on engagement.
In the recent Virgin Pulse’s State of the Industry Report, 88
per cent of organizations said increasing employee engagement is
a priority. And yet, the vast majority of organizations are unclear
on the best approach. Many HR professionals believe that using a
values-based approach to designing workplace benefits is the way
forward. Employees who connect to your organization’s core val-ues
and culture will ultimately be more engaged and productive
over the long term.
