I apologize for multiple postings but I'm in need of help - bigtime! I've
spent the better part of a year convincing our organization that values need
to be 1)real; 2)specific to the organization they are written for and 3)
focus on employees as heavily as customers. After being a nudge for a year,
I've been told to do whatever I think makes the most sense to develop values
that meet these criteria. Oh, and of course it has to be done quickly now
that they've wasted a year trying to steal values from other organizations.
I am the OD Director for a large, 4hospital healthcare district in So. Fl.
that has approx. 6000 employees. We have been moving rapidly toward a
centralized, matrixed (boy are we matrixed) org. structure. I want to be
able to get some employee involvement in this process also.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance any of you can provide. I
believe very deeply in organizational values and also believe they SHOULD
drive everything we do - decision-making, strategic planning, customer
service, HR practices, etc. Therefore, I want to use this opportunity to do
it right. Thanks a million
