Creating organizational clarity is the first step in establishing a strong company culture. Clarity is vital because it eliminates confusion and aligns a team.
At the heart of creating clarity is repetition. Leaders must find opportunities to repeat their most important messages often.
Since repetition is critical to clarity, here are 9 simple ways leaders and organizations can and should repeat their most important messages.
- During the interview
- In new employee orientation
- Throughout leadership and all-staff meetings
- In formal employee evaluations
- During any formal disciplinary action
- Throughout the onboarding process
- In company continuing education and staff development systems
- Through recognition and reward programs
- During daily interactions and informal communication
Each of these common scenarios provide leaders an excellent chance to reinforce their most important messages and establish clarity throughout their organization. Doing this will remove ambiguity and unite your team.
