SUMMARY:TAO: Making Work Work\, Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Work can be hard. It’s even harder when we are disconnected from the organization\, its values\, and our colleagues. And there’s no one size fits all solution. Leaders and stakeholders need to address the specific problems they are trying to solve with long term\, sustainable\, and scalable answers. \nIn partnership with the Portland Human Resource Management Association (PHRMA)\, we invite you to a 2 Part series on “Making Work Work.” In Part 1\, we will cover “Redefining Culture through Renewed Mission and Values” and “Effective Change Communication.” \nRedefining Culture through Renewed Mission and Values \nCompany culture can be defined as a set of shared values\, goals\, attitudes and practices that characterize an organization. The last few years have challenged the way we work and why. With the absence of four walls to encapsulate a company’s culture we must reassess what is important for the organization as well as its employees. This 45 minute session will help you to redefine your company culture so that you may attract\, retain\, and grow your organization to its fullest potential. \n– Learn how to work with stakeholders to reestablish your company mission and values \n– Using your mission and values\, determine how this shapes your true company culture \n– Discover ways for everyone in the organization to contribute and embody these philosophies \nEffective Change Communication \nEvery organization should ensure that all of its employees are receiving the same messaging in the most logical way. Communication should provide reasoning behind changes to the culture\, mission\, values\, leaderships and especially so when the news may not be positive in nature. This panel conversation will provide pragmatic advice on how to talk and communicate with everyone at your organization and how to create feedback loops that provide efficiencies and positive change. \n– Acquire practical skills to convey information \n– Create communication plans and strategies \n– Find non-traditional ways to disseminate organizational changes and updates \n  \nHuman resource professionals will obtain SHRM credit for attending the sessions. \nPanelists \nMolly Wilson\nManager\, Workplace Strategy\nHyphn \nDoug Doug Westervelt\nCEO\nPortland Internetworks \nIsaac Dixon\nAssociate Adjunct Professor\nPortland State University \nZhou Fang\nFounder and Principal EDI Practitioner\nIntersectional Group LLC \nRegister here.
