Join the experts at MC Advisory for the final course in ACADA’s 2023-24 HR Essentials program!
In a competitive labour market, it has never been more important to understand your culture and how that culture is contributing to your ability to recruit and retain top talent (and impact your bottom line). Although we sometimes have a difficult time defining ‘culture’; it is easy to describe how it feels. We will build our collective understanding of culture together through reflecting on our own history and what makes us great, exploring various world views, analyzing leading organizations, and describing our own barriers to an optimum culture.
This 1.5-hour virtual session, Tanya Tynski will share her knowledge and experience as a Culture Transformation Leader. Much of this work is introspective – requiring us, and SME leaders, to dig deep and reflect on how we show up as leaders to enable the required culture shift in our workplaces. During this course we will discuss the relationship between leaders and employees, inclusive workplaces, and values-based leadership. We will examine some external impacts on retention such as market conditions and the gig economy. As well we will examine some internal impacts such as a successful onboarding process and measuring (and action on) employee engagement.
The goal of this course is to provide participants with practical strategies to create a more engaged and committed workforce, with a renewed focus on delivering the highest level of service. With a philosophy of when people thrive – businesses thrive, this course will lead to improved recruitment and retention, culture clarity and top performance.
