Does your corporate culture accurately reflect your company's mission and values? The Drake team can partner with you to create a corporate culture that facilitates being an Employer of Choice!

Being an Employer of Choice helps an organization achieve higher levels of success over an extended period of time. Employees want to be part of a winning team! This requires a corporate culture which encourages and promotes the appreciation of your human resources. Such Employers of Choice have enlightened employee relations practices and customer services processes that assure consistency of effort and quality delivery. As we have discovered, staff productivity is directly related to their satisfaction with their work environment and the work they do.

How do you identify an Employer of Choice? By the following attributes:

• Low turnover
• Stellar employee morale
• Substantial investment in employee development and growth
• Employee friendliness to customers
• On-time delivery to customers
• Marketplace reputation second to none
• Employees viewed as an asset, not a liability
• Employees skilled in effective communication and conflict minimization

Creating a Shared Vision and Shared Values

Building and retaining an enabled and skilled workforce is one of today's most challenging business issues. Employees seek out workplaces that have a firm vision in place that provides for on-going growth and development. Using a representative sample of employees from all levels of the organization, participants will draft the organization's mission and vision statements as well as its principles and values. These drafts will be shared with other organizational members for further suggestions before completion. This activity involves some pre- and post-activity work.
