I once spent an entire quarter writing about the 5 pillars of culture but as I thought about what I wanted to write about this quarter I kept coming back to culture.
I couldn’t stop thinking about how we talked about culture when I first started working VS how we talk about it now.
Then, it was all about the vibes like what snacks the office got, how to set up an open floor plan, where to put the ping pong tables, and planning the next happy hour. What a time that was.
Now, it’s more about AI policies, how layoffs are handled, psychological safety and inclusion. Sprinkle in a debate here and there about RTO.
The truth is work is changing more rapidly than anyone ever anticipated.
I swear future historians are going to look back on the decade from 2020 - 2030 and define work by the words: rapid change. That is, if we still have a planet by then…
With things changing as much your culture is bound to be impacted!
✨Consider this quarter your culture reality check ✨
This quarter I'm going to break down the things that are shaping your workforce right now to the things that can create culture cracks down the line.
And since I love a scale, I’ve broken down the topics into 3 levels:
🚨Fix it yesterday
🔄Circle back zone
📋Add it to the backlog
These three levels can help you sort the noise from the signal so you can prioritize what matters now and plan for what could quietly unravel later.
Because HR teams that are excellent at prioritizing tend to get sh*t done.
Don’t worry I’m going to tell you how to use the scale!! And guess what… you can easily use this scale for any issues or problems you encounter at work. Boom, instant value.
Let’s look at the different levels, how to categorize issues and get a preview of what’s to come this quarter!
