Crafting an Outstanding Company Culture: Eclipse DOT Leading the Way!
Greetings, fellow company culture enthusiasts!
Today, let’s delve into the intricacies of constructing an extraordinary company culture that truly sets us apart. Building such a culture demands genuine effort and dedication. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and embark on this journey!
True Culture Begins at the Top
When discussing a great company culture, we’re not referring to flashy perks or extravagant benefits. True culture begins at the top and permeates throughout, focusing on how we treat people—plain and simple.
One of my cherished mantras is “Treat the janitor like the CEO,” and I wholeheartedly live by those words. What does it mean, you ask? It means never looking down on anyone, irrespective of their title or hours worked. Every member of our team is equally important and deserves respect. Respect forms the core of our culture. We don’t tolerate disrespect towards our customers, leadership, or fellow team members.
Addressing Issues with Respect and Accountability
As leaders, addressing issues requires decisive action. This doesn’t entail firing everyone left and right. It involves one-on-one sit-downs, tackling problems head-on. If issues persist, further actions may be necessary. We’re committed to fostering a culture of respect and accountability.
The Role of Training in Shaping Culture
Training plays a pivotal role in shaping our company’s culture. Investing time in training demonstrates our commitment to the growth and development of our team. It’s not just about the bottom line; it’s about nurturing their skills and potential. We aim to equip them for success and provide opportunities for advancement. It’s about making a difference in their lives beyond just making money.
Embracing Open Communication
Now, let’s reflect on the people around us. Trust is indispensable for productivity, and that’s where our open-door policy comes in. Every member of our leadership team wholeheartedly embraces the open-door policy.
Recalling the best company I’ve worked for, the owner invited us into his office anytime, not just for business matters. We’d discuss everything from our kids to new trucks and even the best books to read. He genuinely cared, fought for us, and treated everyone with the utmost respect. We strive to embody that same spirit, with open doors and open hearts.
Staying Humble and Appreciating Our Journey
As we grow in life and business, it’s crucial not to forget our humble beginnings. At the beginning, we all commenced with minimal knowledge, limited to the basic functions of breathing and sleeping (gratitude to our mothers!). Building a great culture means never losing sight of where we came from. Let’s stay humble and kind, appreciating every step of the journey.
Summary and Reflection
In summary, building a great company culture is no easy feat. It’s about creating an environment where respect, training, and values thrive—not about giving away the company. Let’s prioritize respect, address bad behavior, invest in training, and put our people before just the bottom line. Our open-door policy ensures open communication, and we stand strong in our values even in the face of challenges. Let’s remember our roots and choose to be positive in every situation.
Now, it’s your turn to ponder your company’s culture. How can you improve it?
