channels to launch the culture change. By communicating the changes to your staff in a positive manner you will create a buzz within your company. Ensure you pay attention to the language used; talk about growing, developing and improving together when you make the announcement.


• Professional support: Whether you already employ HR professionals or contract out to


external sources, consider hiring dedicated training support such as a training officer. This is someone who can offer one-to- one training sessions, as well as conducting inductions with new employees to ensure that they are quickly integrated into the company culture.


You won’t regret it Many workplaces struggle to create a positive company culture; fuelling


the typical Monday morning dread that employees feel when they aren’t engaged or onboard with the company’s vision. Training and development have a significant impact on workplace culture, and it is vital that CEOs invest in employee development programmes in order to improve their company culture and business performance.

having such a positive impact on both employees and workplace culture, now is the perfect time to implement your programme and drive results for a more successful 2019.
