culture, who needs it?


The culture of a workforce cannot be overlooked. Day-to-day actions and decisions of every individual are largely influenced by the culture of the organization. The reputation of any organization’s ethics, integrity, and professionalism can be either shattered or lifted based on a single interaction with an individual worker.



Work environments devoid of motivation lead to safety concerns, sub-optimal work output, and complacency.  Science reveals several motivational outlooks that people might experience at work every day.  Three are optimal motivational outlooks -aligned, integrated, and inherent -which imply positive intrinsic motivation.  Service, in all industries, is an art and the canvas is expressed in a way that an individual approaches an issue and the perception of expertise the client has with that individual.  Organizations dealing with work activities understand this, and that the perception of their company is all about the experience; those touch points are with schedulers and field workers.  Seeming to do is not doing, just like the freedom of choice without guidance is likely to produce lackluster results.  Through the utilization of meritocratic and queuing technologies, we address cultural items such as: a transient workforce; those seeking social approval; corporate climbers; the freedom of choice; and instant gratification and feedback.  We can achieve sustained motivation across numerous workforces and multiple industries, you just need to step back away from your operation to see a different perspective.  Open your mind and differentiate yourself in the market!
