Diving into the success of the EGN Business Owners/SME, Singapore 2 Peer Group meeting, where the spotlight was on 'Building a Culture that attracts Talent while Proactively Sourcing Talent' with our chair Lisa Askwith. Cultivating success isn't a one-size-fits-all endeavor, and it goes beyond mimicking big names without understanding the unique dynamics of our businesses. In a thought-provoking session, we uncovered the power of setting high standards and adopting an asymmetrical approach to recognize and reward surpassing those standards. The delicate balance of granting trust, freedom, and authority is just enough to make leaders a tad nervous, fostering an environment where meaningful impact becomes a force multiplier for productivity and accountability. Thanks to Sunil Setlur for such an insightful presentation. Let's pave the way for long-term success together! Visit our website at egnpeernetwork.com or contact us at [email protected] to connect with us and find out more! 💼🌟 #EGN #BusinessCulture #TalentAttraction #SMELeadership #WorkplaceEngagement #EGNSuccess #MakingEachOtherBetter

Company Culture is the number 1 success factor for companies Company culture is the foremost factor influencing a company's success, shaping its identity and motivating its workforce. A healthy culture attracts talent, drives innovation, and fuels overall growth. In Kenya, Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (Saccos) have emerged as pivotal financial institutions, offering a unique approach to financial services. Beyond financial strategies, one often underestimated but profoundly impactful factor underpins their success - corporate culture. The significance of company culture within Kenyan Saccos include among others: defines their identity, motivates their workforce, and ultimately drives innovation and growth. #leadership #Culture #corporateculture #performance #Sacco

To every ERG Leader and member, know that your efforts are the building blocks of a legacy that will echo through the halls of your organizations and the lives of your communities for years to come. I often get asked, how can we turn an ERG into a legacy? Here are 5 groundbreaking steps you can take. 1️⃣ Cultivate Inclusive Leadership: Champion diversity not just in membership but in leadership roles within the ERG. Encourage members from various backgrounds to take on leadership positions and decision-making roles. 2️⃣ Mentorship Programs: Establish mentorship opportunities that pair seasoned professionals with emerging talent or vice-versa. I have seen both approaches transform teams and careers. This not only nurtures future leaders but also ensures the continuity of the ERG's values and goals. 3️⃣ Community Outreach: Extend the influence of your ERG beyond the company by engaging in community service and outreach programs. This bridges the gap between the corporate and local communities, enhancing the ERG's social impact. 4️⃣ Sustainable initiatives: Launch efforts beyond annual conferences or training. Think about leveraging the power of policy to incept requirements that can continue without constant oversight. For example, influence the integration of D&I metrics into annual performance reviews, establish recurring funding for ERG-led initiatives, and embed ERG participation into the onboarding process for new hires. 5️⃣ Storytelling: Keep a detailed record of the ERG's achievements and share these stories within and outside the organization. This showcases the ERG's value and inspires others to build upon your success. #ERG #BRG #diversityandinclusion #Inclusiveleadership 📹 Ferrara First BRG Summit, Chicago, IL.
