At The Writers For Hire, we know that there is a direct link between your organization’s culture, your employees’ beliefs and behavior, and your business’s success.
In fact, a healthy organizational culture is as important to success as having quality products or services. People have more employment opportunities today than ever before and when there’s a negative work culture, it doesn’t take much for them to head for the doors, creating a hiring/training/retaining cycle that can be unsustainable (and unpleasant for your customers).
Among the main drivers of a toxic organizational culture are ineffective (or missing) communication efforts by leaders combined with business performance policies that lack the appropriate focus on the workforce.
Culture as a Social Construct
At The Writers For Hire, we examine the development of corporate culture through the lens of hive psychology, which suggests that humans have an intrinsic desire to become part of an emergent ‘social organism.’ In plain English, hive psychology simply means that when we see other people behave in a certain way, we are very tempted to behave in the same way and we very often do.
In any corporate environment, this can be both a good or a bad thing, depending on the behaviors being adopted or imitated. With the right content and messaging at your disposal, you can have greater control over the cultural narrative and encourage stronger buy-in and adaptation in the overall shift initiative.
Culture shift initiatives are often slow, gradual processes. They must be implemented at a sustainable pace to ensure your workforce has time to adjust to any significant changes without a ‘shock effect’ that could lead to disengagement. We are creatures of habit, after all.
Content That Promotes Healthy Cultures
Your corporate values, vision, and mission are the foundation for an effective culture shift initiative. Once those are in place, we can help you develop compelling messaging — internal documentation, policies and procedures, executive and corporate communications — all aligned with the new culture you’re trying to cultivate. Everyone on your team, from new hires to the most tenured employees, will be clear on what your business stands for and more likely to embody those values every day.
We assist our clients with effective content solutions that promote healthy cultures, fairness, and equality, including policies and content around:
- Mental health at work
- Diversity and inclusion
- Whistleblowing
- Transparency
- Right to disconnect
- Anti-racism and discrimination
- Equal opportunities
- Psychological contract protection policies
We Love Complex Culture Shift Projects
Culture shift content projects often have lots of moving parts that require large volumes of new or revised documents produced quickly. We assemble the perfect teams — writers, editors, and project managers — who collaborate and take full ownership of their projects to produce excellent content on time.
At The Writers For Hire, our unparalleled service includes a team of easy-to-reach, highly responsive writers whose goal is to make your life as easy as possible by providing the support you need through constant open dialogue.
