The Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast brings you interviews from leaders across the theological spectrum of the global Church. Our goal is to bring you thought-provoking interviews that encourage you, challenge you, and help you build, run, and keep great teams.
In today's episode of the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, Holly talks with Katie Viscontini, Business Development Coordinator and "Culture Queen" here at Vanderbloemen.
Katie Viscontini is on the Business Development Team at Vanderbloemen Search Group. Three years ago, William Vanderbloemen asked her to own their staff culture. Dubbed the "Culture Queen" and the "Culture Whip," Katie has spent the last three years studying workplace culture, learning how to cultivate it, and building systems to foster and protect the Vanderbloemen team culture.
Passionate about their company culture, the Vanderbloemen team was just named #5 Best Company Culture in the nation by Entrepreneur.com as well as #3 Best Place to Work in Houston by the Houston Business Journal (and we happen to be hiring).
Holly talks with Katie about:
There's no excuse not to intentionally build staff culture. You don't have to have a big budget for it.
It's so important for everyone on your staff to feel celebrated & appreciated.
When people love their jobs, they're going to be invested in their work and be more productive & effective.
Nothing bonds a team like having fun together.
You can start small. When you start building your staff culture, it will begin to snowball.
As the leader, you need to set the tone for the team culture that you want.
