Design HR To Match Olympic Values, Win the Gold in Business Results

A combination of factors must come together for a team (or a company) to win. Talented people, of course; drive to succeed absolutely; but it’s more than that. To show up every day and give it your best, the team members need to feel that they are working towards something important and that their efforts matter. The writers of the first Olympic charter understood this. The original Olympic values were: “encourage effort”, “preserve human dignity” and “develop harmony”. So, good coaches or (or company leadership) focus on both the playbook and the overall experience. In 2024 the tension between company productivity and employee well-being has never been greater. Examples include the controversy around return to the office, employee fear that AI will take their jobs, pay dissatisfaction because of inflation and manager burn-out. HR is tasked with developing strategic plans to meet employee needs within business constraints. Come spend an hour learning an approach to designing your HR strategies like the Olympic values so your employees can win the gold in business results.
