Every business leader or owner wants to get the “right person in the right seat” because of the potential cost of a poor hiring decision. You don’t want to waste a salary on someone who isn’t going to succeed in your organization. One way to avoid this cost is by investing in your company culture. A culture that prioritizes flexibility, celebrates wins, seeks feedback, and fosters a diverse and inclusive work environment will attract top talent like crazy. It’s important to understand the environment talent thrives in so that you can start to build it yourself.
The first step in attracting top talent is recognizing the powerful role culture plays. According to Deloitte, 94% of executives and 88% of employees believe a distinct workplace culture is important to business success. It’s not surprising at all. Employees are people, and people want to feel valued and cared for wherever they go. The workplace has to be incredibly intentional with all of its employee touch points to effectively attract and retain talent.
What exactly makes a culture appealing? It’s a blend of several elements:
Engagement is key to maintaining top talent. A Gallup study found that highly engaged teams show 21% greater profitability. So, if you focus on engaging your teams, they will be more productive and less likely to leave. To accomplish this, you have to be able to communicate the big picture to your team. Talent is inspired by vision, autonomy, and achievement. Encourage regular feedback, open communication, and a sense of purpose. Build a vision that is engaging and something that your team could commit to.
