Overview

Companies are now realising that sourcing talent can be done using social media, saying that many are not quite sure how.

There are so many people using so many types of social media and social networking platforms. For some organisations the fear of the size of Social media and the fear of failing paralyses them. They end up doing nothing because that feels safer than doing something different

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Culture

* Language* Symbols* Stories* Practises

Every work place has a culture

The Culture refers to shared, attitudes beliefs, values, and goals

The culture of the workplace is it’s “way of life” If you hear “that’s how we do things round here” then that’s what the culture is

Are the desks clear?, are your employees relaxed?, lots of chat, no chat, do they work in huddles?, do they work independently? Look at the dress code, the work ethic and the social energy.

Culture is the behaviour of the environment, culture is learned from other employees, the right culture can be encouraged.

Commitment

Happy workers are committed workers

When workers are known for who they are not for just what they do, when they are involved and rewarded, then they are more likely to be committed to the organisation. When your workers are committed they will want to give more to the organisation.

For a workforce to continuously perform at it’s best it has to feel continuously committed

How well do your employees know the role they play within the organisation? How much passion and energy can they bring and are they getting positivity fed back to them?How meaningful do they see their work to be?

Commitment is the fuel to drive your organisation to success
