In today’s competitive labor environment, people often get to choose where they work based on factors that match their values, priorities, and work style. Without a strong organizational culture that drives how work happens inside the company and can be clearly communicated to those considering joining, a company will fall behind its competitors that have invested in defining, integrating, and promoting a strong culture. This session will help you define what your culture is, identify areas where change may be needed, and create the most effective ways to integrate and communicate that culture.
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
- Define organization culture and what creates it.
- Evaluate organizational culture by defining it and identifying the key points.
- Align the employee experience with your culture.
- Use your organizational culture to drive your employer brand.
- Create communication strategies for the level of transparency appropriate for your organization.
- Describe HR’s role in the organizational structure and culture.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:
- Determine what should be in a handbook and what should not.
- Define the types of harassment, discrimination, and biases that can occur in the workplace.
- Identify necessary trainings for your organization.

It can be easy to fall into the trap of only focusing on specific points of the employment process and experience – typically hiring and termination get the most attention. A more holistic approach that will improve the employee experience is to view the process as a life cycle.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:
- Understand the recruitment and hiring processes.
- Identify onboarding and orientation best practices.
- Evaluate all types of ongoing training and learning opportunities for employees (business, technical, personal improvement, financial wellness, etc.).
- Identify employee performance management and disciplinary best practices.
- Consider technology options for managing this process.
