When it comes to improving culture, every organization benefits from having a higher purpose. Harvard Business Review advises: “Employees have to see a connection between their day-to-day work and the organization’s greater purpose.” Especially since a sense of purpose is as desirable as a good paycheck for many employees. Cross-departmental connections present another retention strategy. These might be called networks or employee resource groups (ERGs). They are also de facto builders of diversity and inclusion, as they bring together employees with common interests or values, regardless of where they fall on the organization chart. These new avenues of camaraderie offer rewarding ways for employees to become invested in the success of their peers, and for this investment to be reciprocated. That’s a win for your organization.
