Top 6 Ways to Create a Welcoming Culture
By TalentMap
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “welcoming” with terms such as comforting, inviting, desirable, hospitable, kindly and personable. If you’ve ever walked into a party where you don’t know anyone and after about an hour, you realized you didn’t want to leave, you either met an old friend that you really like or there’s a good chance the host did a great job at making you feel welcome.
The power of feeling welcome
Organizations have the power to do the same thing. Smart organizations realize that their most valuable resource is their staff, so they invest in a work culture that makes every employee feel welcome.
We’re using the example of a house party here but it’s easy to see how these “welcoming” behaviours easily transfer to a welcoming work culture. Whether you’re welcoming new employees to your workplace culture, or you’ve recently updated your culture and you’re helping employees to adapt to the changes, these tips will help to ensure that you’re creating a culture that says, “you’re welcome here.”
