December 2016 Vancouver Program: Culture Fit: More Than a Feeling
A bad hire is costlyfinancially as well as the impact on happiness and morale within the team. When we look back to understand what went wrong, its unlikely that the person wasnt qualified or had the necessary skill set. More often, it turns out that they werent a fit. How can you really predict if someone is going to fit in and be successful? Does success at one company mean success at yours? Interview teams struggle to properly assess fit, and often rely on their gut feeling. Intuition is hard-wired for our survival, yes, but were also fallible human beings who have history, culture, experience and context, which creates bias and, in hiring, makes the talent pool even more shallow. Understanding and articulating your companys culture is at the crux of developing an approach to identify culture fit and the potential for success. It is the foundation of a structured approach to assessing talent, employer brand, engagement, talent development and performance feedback.
However, culture is informed by so many factors that it can be a challenge just to know where to start. Sara will share with you an approach to uncovering and articulating your culture and how to design your selection process to fairly assess fit.
