It's the only way to keep my awareness level high, and to be able to truly serve my customers effectively.Jay Kuhns, SPHRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813031657500594380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068729084407027179.post-77615391924492034602011-02-11T06:48:44.135-05:002011-02-11T06:48:44.135-05:00I really like this reference Jay.

If we aren't working from a broad viewpoint of employee culture, we are quite likely missing opportunities to serve our customers better - or at least to assure that we continue to serve them.<br />In your business, you probably don't wish to have repeat customers (ideally), but if they do need to return, you want them to at least be confident they are respected!<br />HRiHR Introverthttp://thehrintrovert.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068729084407027179.post-81402476362283146732011-02-10T16:48:45.735-05:002011-02-10T16:48:45.735-05:00Great post Jay.

If the focus becomes circling the wagons to fight a common enemy, then there is still work to do. Great perspective on diversity work!Jay Kuhns, SPHRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813031657500594380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068729084407027179.post-25564278302396367982011-02-10T09:09:31.468-05:002011-02-10T09:09:31.468-05:00My organization was, up until a few years ago, mad...My organization was, up until a few years ago, made of three major business groups. Those groups didn't really work together, and barely acknowledged they were one company. <br /><br />We purchased another company that was made of two major business groups. Those groups didn't really work together, and barely acknowledged they were one company. <br /><br />Once they were all together, though, the three were inseparable, and the other two became best friends.<br /><br />Never underestimate the power of the external motivator. I'm sure if spaceships and aliens showed up on our doorstep tomorrow, suddenly the people from Mexico, China or Latvia would suddenly be part of the "us" instead of the "them."Dwane Layhttp://leanhrblog.com/noreply@blogger.com
