Our Blog: where do you stand?

Communicate + Celebrate = Great

By: Christi Dixon | 10/25/2007

Standing Partnership is celebrating its 16th anniversary this week... we're celebrating as a group and marking our success with a bit of a respite. I've told my family about our plans, and their mouths gaped. The effort that management has made to create a positive, team-based, appreciative culture--one that still produces bang-up results for clients--is really unparalleled. I'm not using PR-speak here! How can celebration, communication and plain old appreciation make a difference? The Wall Street Journal offers a set of questions to help you find the answer.

Does the employer have clear goals and live by them?

Is the employer's strategic plan understood and embraced by all levels of the organization?

How effective are the company's communications?

Are employees a part of a team?

Is the company open to change?

Do employees have fun?

Do individual employees have the chance to make contributions?

What training is available?

How does the firm reward employees?

Does the company have a development plan for each employee?

Do employees share in company profits?

What's the firm's customer focus?

Happy 16th birthday, Standing . . . and best wishes for many more.
