What does your Mission, Vision and Values Tell Employees
About You and Your Company?
Why Company Culture Matters. Company culture is important to
employees because workers are more likely to enjoy their time in
the workplace when they fit in with the company culture. Employees
tend to enjoy work when their needs and values are consistent with
those in the workplace. Like it or not, millennials are the generation
driving the workplace changes of the near future. If you fail to
attract millennial talent, your growth may be stagnated, and you
could eventually hit a talent shortage. That said, millennials desire
a strong company culture (in one dimension or another) more than
anything else when deciding who to work for. If you don’t have a
strong or appealing company culture, you’re going to start losing the
recruiting war—and fast. In this workshop, participants will conduct
their own “mini cultural audit” of their mission, vision and values
statements gaining perspective of how they truly are a influencing
component of employee engagement, retention and attraction of
employees to your brand and your company.

Accountability at Work: Creating a Culture of Ownership
and Responsibility
Accountability is not about giving people more responsibility or
punishing them for errors. The goal is simple – encourage actions
that are consistent with desired results. This frame of mind sets the
pace for Accountability at Work.

Performance Evaluations - No More! A Two Tiered
Approach To Feedback
One-sided relationships just don’t work. They don’t work in
friendships. They don’t work in marriage. And they definitely
don’t work in business. That’s why you should be concerned
that employees say performance reviews don’t benefit them. If
your organization does reviews only to decide who to fire and
who deserves a raise, it may not matter to you if employees feel
benefited from reviews. But if you, like me, feel the true purpose
of performance reviews is to help employees improve their
performance, you should be alarmed. To change reviews so they
benefit employee performance more companies are addressing
the reasons they are ineffective and replacing it with a better two-
tiered approach. Participants will walk away with a “best practice”
tool and guidelines to helping employees get the information they
need to perform at higher levels, stay on the desired path, be more
satisfied in their jobs and understand how their work truly impacts
the organization.

Put it in Writing: How to Prepare, Organize, and Present
a Compelling Business Report
Sharing information in the form of a report is an integral part of
most workers’ daily responsibilities. Put it in Writing helps employees
to create reports that are consistently relevant, organized, credible,
and professional no matter whether the message is intended to help
improve work processes, resolve an issue, or encourage a decision.
Participants are given the opportunity to apply the techniques for
developing effective reports and hone their skills through numerous
individual and group writing activities throughout the course.

Preventing Business Crises & Interruptions
Attend this half-day interactive and realistic business interruption/
crisis exercise that puts participants in the mindset of the response

discussion.
Discussion will include interruption due to:
Natural or man-made disasters
Supply chain disruption
Reputation threat or incident
Human Resource disruption
IT breach, hack, or failure.
At the conclusion of the exercise, a debrief will be held to reinforce

and shared with all participants. An after-action report for the
exercise will be developed, and all exercise materials will be made
available to the players as an exercise “take-home.”
