Who creates your culture? What even is culture? One thing is for SVRE; Social Value and Wellbeing need to be at the very heart of it. It is clear that a new approach to company culture is the only way forward. Each individual contributes to your cultural work environment. Leaders and Managers have a huge influence.
The messages they send, consciously or unconsciously, combine to produce the norms and expectations in a workplace. This is why work / life balance can never just be an issue of rules and permissions. It is important to signal, through your behaviours, and the culture that individual business leaders create, that people are not expected to read their emails late at night, that it is OK for them to have other things going on in their lives, and that sometimes this will affect their performance.
Annual leave, lunch breaks and flexible working hours, should not only be actively encouraged, but become a core part of how your organisation thrives. These considerations can add up to create a cultural environment in which your people feel supported to do their best work, and can mean that coming to work can be a positive force for wellbeing.
The wellbeing of individuals is directly linked to the wellbeing of your business. Like any ecosystem, they are all interdependent. SVRE Culture is a seismic cultural business health initiative. It engages directly with your entire business, to identify and embed your unique purpose, values, and behaviours, through in-person interactive workshops to define and build a healthy, sustainable culture.
SVRE Culture creates a document which will clearly describe your business's unique shared purpose, values and behaviours, embedded in your current Social Value policy.
