In addition to revising its mission, ethics, and corporate social responsibility statements, Alliah’s leadership wants to create an innovative culture that approaches all ideas as possible customer solutions that could create the next profitable approach to market growth.
Employees are not surprised by Alliah’s rating of 10/100 on the A–Z List of Emotionally Intelligent Companies. In recent communications with company leadership, the human resources team has advised the leadership to consider certain best practices.
Understanding that employees are valuable not just for their ideas that could lead to profits but as individuals who are valuable on their own merits, can improve morale.
Increasing the diversity of the company’s employees, suppliers, and contractors could better reflect the customers that purchase Alliah’s products.
Reducing resistance to allowing employees to work remotely requires reconsidering expressed concerns over not being able to manage employees’ productivity if they work outside of the office.
Changing the way employees communicate with leadership from a chain of command approach of working through managers to having avenues for meeting with leadership could open communication channels and increase trust.
Corollary’s EI training session will be coordinated by the employees’ managers, and company leadership will not be in attendance. The leadership is expecting that the result of the training will be a move towards their desire for a culture of innovation, and that the next year’s rating on the A–Z List of Emotionally Intelligent Companies will be significantly higher.
