ALL IN | AD Today 2019 | 89 4 TIPS FOR ENSURING CONSISTENT CORPORATE CULTURE Be Deliberate– According to AD's Templin, "culture is developed purposefully and it doesn't just happen. Rather, everyone plays a role in building and preserving a company's culture." That being said, he noted, "it starts with leadership. Taking the time to see to it that the leaders of various locations fully understand and buy in is a great start," he said. "Consistently communicating and rewarding behaviors that align with company culture enhances employee awareness and reinforces expectations." Promote Togetherness– "As a leader, it's important to truly know and empower your employees and let them know that you really care about reaching shared goals together," said 3M's Fall. "It's important to model the behavior you want to see and provide consistent reminders about what your culture is. My team is extremely important to me on a professional and personal level and I do everything I can to make sure they know it. Speed and agility are critical in our industry and I aim to empower staff to make decisions and work together." Reinforce Regularly– Procables' Shwartz said that the most important first step is to clearly define the company's and owners'/founders'/directors' core values. "Once the company mission, vision, and values are comprehensively written, established, and instilled in staff members, the management team needs to keep reinforcing these ideals every day to every employee in each area of the organization," he said. "Constant training and excellent communication between the different areas of the company ensures that every member of the organization is working under the same standards and values." Collaborate– "In the end, companies are built on collaboration and associates are more open to adopting cultural values when they experience dignified treatment, career-advancing opportunities and positive work environments," shared Grupo PETSA's Escobedo. "Of course, there would be sanctions for those who don't comply with company values or fulfill their responsibilities."
