A strong culture and employee engagement set the tone for the work environment, shaping the attitudes and behaviors of employees. Simultaneously, engaged employees are more committed, productive, and invested in their work, which directly translates to organizational success. So how has it evolved in the last couple of decades? Let’s take a look at the key strategies that organizations are adopting to build a robust system.

“Today's successful enterprises prioritize engaged human resources, making it the key factor over technology, innovation, and strategy. People engagement is rooted in corporate culture emphasizing equity, empowerment, inclusion, skill enhancement, diversity, and empathy (D4EI). Leadership strategies encompass cross-functional collaboration, mentorship, clear employee-centric communication, objectivity, integrity, and transparency. Fostering unit-level ambassadorship, work-life balance, trust, empowerment, and accountability results in high-performance teams and a strong corporate culture. Building strong leaders translates to engaged teams and overall corporate excellence” shared Amit Goenka, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Nisus Finance

Core values: Define and Communicate with them

Establishing clear core values that align with the organization’s mission and vision is the first step in building a strong corporate culture, serving as guiding principles for employees. “Imagine an organization as a canvas. Leadership's strokes define its contours, but it's the vibrant hues of employee engagement and shared values that bring it to life. By intertwining work-life balance with organizational ethos, we paint a masterpiece of trust, purpose, and collective ambition."
