MODERN MANAGEMENT
employer is critical to attracting
potential employees with aligned
values.
Behavioural Interviewing: A
person’s values can be assessed
through the actions they
exhibit. A skilled behavioural
interviewer will be able to tease
out information by getting
the candidate to use real life
situations as evidence. For
example, if Honesty is one of
your values, then you can assess
whether someone shares this
value by asking for examples of
mistakes they’ve made and what
they’ve done about it. This would
give insight into whether they
were honest about their mistake
and whether they took ownership
of it.
Onboarding: A well-structured
Onboarding process is important
to integrate new employees
into the culture. Studies have
also indicated that a strong
Onboarding program can
increase retention rates by fifty
per cent and can improve time to
productivity by sixty per cent.
Crafting your business’s culture
by communication and strategic
hiring is a key element to the
success of your business and
ensures that everyone within the
business is unified by a common
goal. Values alignment is what
makes a strong culture and a
strong culture is what helps a
business weather the storms of
an ever changing economy.
