What are some of the culture drivers in the workplace?

Does your company have a “people mantra” that drives the way you make HR decisions?

IBM does: “Eliminate. Simplify. Automate.”

Sound like it could be a line from Terminator?

I thought so too, on first read. But a deeper dive reveals that the intention of this mantra is actually quite human-friendly.

As IBM’s chief human resources operator, Nickle LaMoreaux, puts it, this means a focus on::

⭐️ Removing areas of work that don’t drive growth or add value to the business

⭐️ Streamlining any processes that can be

⭐️ Automating low-value tasks so talent is freed up to do more valuable creative work

Ultimately, the goal is happier, more productive & engaged employees and a more successful company. After all – does anyone really enjoy building “bridges to nowhere” or creating reports that noone reads?

What about your company? Does it have an HR mantra or philosophy? Hopefully it fits in with the company mission statement and culture.
