Hiring, Training & Recognition Of Your Humans [Part 4]
Most if not all want to have a purpose in their work
Does our full team know the WHY of your organization? The real WHY? Why did your organization begin – why did the founders do what they did? What is the current vision, mission and most importantly Core Values that are non-negotiable to the organization. Knowing the founder’s story and the WHY is critical to enrolling people into the cause of your organization. We should all acknowledge and celebrate the community benefits we deliver and the difference our organizations make in the world. For example, if your organization is involved in beating ALS with Augie Nieto – do all of you team members, including the most part time know what you are doing to make a difference in curing this disease (https://augiesquest.org/science/)? Or whatever other charitable contributions your organization is making to the community or nation at large.
