What is organizational culture?

Culture should be integrated into every aspect of business strategy, and at the heart of culture lies employees. The frontline between a company and its customers should be people who love their jobs, care about customer satisfaction and promote overall company success. Employees are a brand’s first customers and best advocates, and company culture is the key to keeping them engaged. 

Create a trusting culture

  • Brands need to generate and sustain a culture of believers and advocates, which comes from building trust.
  • Leadership behaviors can start this process, but it is the mission of strong culture to establish trust among all levels.
  • Employees want their company’s mission to align with their personal values. If they believe in your goals, they will support your success.
  • People work and behave better as a team when they trust that everyone is on the same page. 
  • Building trust is the key to greater employee engagement, which has a direct impact on customer satisfaction.

Get an emotional commitment from your employees

  • Engaged employees need to feel confident that they belong and are important to the company, so go the extra mile and show them that you care.
  • Take the time to know each individual employee on a more personal level and take a genuine interest in his or her success. 
  • Nurture an emotional commitment with your employees with rewards and recognition beyond pay increases and promotions.
  • Employees want to feel a sense of ownership and that their input can make a genuine impact, so reaffirm their areas of strength and encourage their innovation.
  • When they trust that they have a home to grow within a company, they go the extra mile to excel for themselves, their coworkers and the business as a whole.

Inspire employee engagement

  • This generates both commitment and connection, intellectually and emotionally.
  • Highly engaged employees are motivated to succeed, to help others and inspire them to do their best. They also become highly persuasive advocates for the brand who help meet company goals faster.
  • Whilst, disengaged employees need you to offer them some sort of plan for re-engagement.
  • Since, employees don’t quit jobs, they quit managers, so start by coaching and training great management.
  • Always ensure to first provide disengaged employees with all the resources, tools and data they need for best practice.
  • Plus, you should also make engagement a key performance indicator to hold managers accountable.

Rob Williams Assessment Ltd has experience of designing personality values tests that are generic in nature.

2) Matching corporate values to personal values

Alternatively, specific values test which assesses a company’s values. Hence, an individual’s fit between their personal values and their work’s organisational values. Situational judgement tests (SJTs) are often used to measure values. Also, the fit with a company’s values.

  •  3-4 scenarios to assess each value.
  • Totalling approx. 15-16 questions.
  • Provides accurate and meaningful feedback to each respondent.

3) Values based situational judgement tests 

Typically a situational judgement test uses problem-solving and judgment skills to measure role-specific competencies. In particular, those role characteristics which are difficult to assess at interview or in an assessment centre. For example, empathy and resilience in customer-facing customer service roles.

At a higher level than the role, bespoke SJTs can also be designed to assess organisational “fit”. How well an individual’s values and attitudes match those of the organisation. The rationale is that this is an assessment of whether or not the individual “fits” into the organisational culture.

Work Values – Interview

A structured interview(s) comprising firstly values questions. Secondly, comprising of competency questions, and finally, including technical questions.

Work Values – Simulation Exercises

  • Scenarios from the job analysis can be used to design simulation exercises.
  • Parallel version developed to maximise exercise integrity.
  • Minimise the risk of applicants sharing details of tools.
  • Compromising the validity of the assessment process.
