Hire for Culture, Train for Skill

Oct 17, 2022 | Business

Culture is the leading component of retaining team members. Individuals want an environment that cultivates positivity, one where they are excited to come to work. But developing a lasting culture is more than slapping a mission statement on the wall or putting it in your email signature.

Hire for Culture, Train for Skill

One way to welcome new team members is by assigning them a coach or a mentor. This is an individual who lives the culture daily—someone who is not the team member’s direct manager. The coach and the mentor serve as a ‘safe’ space for questions and introductions and ensure a smooth transition into the organization.
