innovative recruiting practices.

• Find the pain point: Through employee surveys, direct feedback, or paying attention to industry trends, find out what is a point of
frustration for employees.
• Alleviate the pain point: Think of pain as the main thing to be alleviated.
• Don’t let the pain build elsewhere: Be on guard for employees who may not be complaining, but are quietly feeling exhausted or
frustrated about the amount of work expected from them.
• Focus on developing Leaders, not bosses.
• Make Employee Engagement possible: Cross-training programs so employees have a broad skill set, not just a narrow set limited to
their specific job. Mentorship programs that encourage mentee to become mentor. Create a leadership ladder so employees know
what they need to do to move up.
6. Organization: The definition of organization refers to the act of putting things into a logical order or the act of taking an efficient and
orderly approach to tasks, or a group of people who have formally come together.
Recruiting Retaining Organization Compliance Development
• Streamline employee communication, improve employee/HR processes.
• We will reflect and identify the areas for needed change.
• Change is an evolutionary process rather than a single event. It is best done in small bites by changing small
things continuously, rather than trying to leap from point A to point B in one giant leap.
o Once identified, we will commit to the change. If we do not change, no-one else will…starts with us.
o We will define what a healthy culture looks life collaboratively, and immediately start moving towards it.
o Evaluate the reality; the hardest part of the change process is looking at the reality of the culture and how
it inhibits the organizational health and wellbeing. Look for dysfunctional patterns and behaviors within
the team, specifically observing team meetings.
o Focus on only changing one habit at a time. Build with a cultural mindset: Change and build one tiny habit
at a time.
o We will then reflect and learn.
7. Compliance: Protecting the Company from any sort of litigation and the rights of Employees.
