FRANZISKA: Hi and welcome back! This is video number four out of four videos that I have done for you, where I take you through the Culture Matrix™ process. And in the first video, we looked at how to do a great survey with your team, to get a little bit of a Culture Pulse Check, to see where you’re at in terms of your culture and how you can do things better. In the second video, we have looked at how to create your team principles, your behaviours, your non-behaviours, aligned with your brand strategy. In the third video, we looked at the Culture Book, how to create a culture book and I also showed you our own. And now, we’re going to look at how to roll out the culture book and your culture principles across the business. And you can see all the links also below the video so you can jump back into any of the videos if you want to watch the other ones if you haven’t seen them yet. So now in the last part, it’s all about activating your culture code, your principles, your behaviours, your culture book, across the business, because there’s no point in having an amazing culture book and principles if you don’t use them. Now, there are a few things you can do; you can activate this through team sessions; whether they are done virtually, or in person, where you launch the culture book and you talk about it, you maybe have some awards, you get people to interact with each other, displaying the principles. You can also do regular awards. We did a Unicorn Award for a while where every quarter, somebody in the team got a unicorn award. We sent them a unicorn crown for displaying our values the most in the last quarter. So you can do awards, you can do celebrations. One other thing… actually two more things I’d like to share with you: one is appoint a Team Happiness Rockstar in your team, even if it’s a small team, you can appoint someone who is the guardian of your culture, who makes sure the culture is aligned, people are happy, they’re displaying the principles and behaviours, so that’s one thing you can do. They can also organise some of the cultural events and the celebrations that you do. And the last thing, this is something that we do here at Basic Bananas, and it’s been really great to do in our team meetings. We do a monthly team meeting with the whole team from all around the world, so it’s a Zoom meeting, and we start a meeting with our purpose first. So we quickly talk about the purpose in the business, just to remind ourselves what the purpose is, and then we finish the meeting with our values. We have five values, you can see them on our website, and we finish the meeting with every team member picking one of the values for the next 30 days, and letting us know why they have picked this value. So for example, I might say I’m going to pick, for the next 30 days the value of making positive ripple effects, and the reason why is because I’m working on a few philanthropic initiatives. And then we go around the room, the “virtual room”, and everybody picks a value. And it’s a great exercise because it~ again, keeps people reminded of our values, and how we show up, and also it keeps everybody aligned and motivated. And we just did a team meeting yesterday and we filmed a little bit of that interaction for you. So you can see again, see behind the screen of how we went about it with some of the team, on a smaller team meeting, and we’ll show you right now.
