The wisdom of a mid-year Culture Assessment

Should you conduct a mid-year company culture assessment?

Yes!

Before you groan thinking it’s too disruptive, ponder these reasons for a mid-year company culture assessment.

A mid-year culture assessment can help you...
💥 Handle simmering issues before they boil into gigantic problems. Think of the time, money, and emotional capital saved by figuring it out early!

💥 Recognize new needs your employees and customers have because things change in this dynamic world we live in. You can’t serve what you don’t see. If you see their new need, you can serve them better than anyone else! How would that impact retention of employees? Of customers?

💥 Get better! Continuous improvement on purpose will help operations now so you keep getting better all year.

💥 Course correct before expending resources on strategies that are not working. After all, your 2023 strategic plan was set more than seven months ago, right? A lot has happened since then. Face the facts, and course correct now.

💥 Capitalize on hew opportunities that weren't available seven months ago. Your competitors might not be on them yet, so your ability to jump will give you an advantage.

Of course, those reasons would be useful for company leaders. Right?

But would they be reasons for ANYONE to want to assess their employer's culture?

Would anyone else benefit from knowing how their company responds to simmering issues, new employee and customer needs, continuous improvement, strategic course miscues, and new opportunities?

Would it be in the best interest of your own career to assess those things? And more?

It would be wise to assess for yourself rather than cross your fingers and hope the company assesses, then tells you the outcomes and actions they will take.

That would be marvelous, and many companies will do that; however, you do not need to wait for them to do it. You can assess too.

We will talk about why and how in this month's Culture Matters Conversation.
