Hey, maybe we don't suck after all! When Chad Staiger and I talked a few years back and told me he was starting a company to change consulting, I was in! Maybe after a little convincing... And since that time, it has been an absolute blast to work alongside him and the entire Torq team to help grow the company into what it has become. But changing consulting for the better doesn't exactly come with an instruction manual, so our leadership team has been doing everything we can to figure out how we keep delivering for our clients without sacrificing our culture. But it's hard! And sometimes we don't know what to do... And sometimes we don't do the right thing *gasp* Maybe I'm the only one, but there have been a few times when I read through an employee survey and I get stuck on one or two comments and start to spiral... -What if we're doing this all wrong? -What if everything we've built has been for nothing? -I guess our employees hate it here... -They've found out that I don't have all the answers... -We suck! Eventually my wife or someone on the leadership team snaps me out of it, we make some adjustments, and we keep on pushing through. And the beauty of hiring some of the best folks in the business is that even when we do start veering off course a bit, everyone jumps in to do their part to get us back on track. But it's moments like these that remind me just how lucky I am that I made the decision to join the crazy startup life. It has been an absolute privilege to help grow Torq into what it is today and I can't imagine myself anywhere else. While becoming a certified "Great Place to Work" is a huge accomplishment and a great reminder that we're on the right track, we've still got work to do! We have a consulting industry to disrupt! 🚀 🚀 🚀 Katherine Staiger Stefan Ralston Michael Varraveto Scott Layton, CPA

New certification... The importance of a code of conduct cannot be overstated. It serves as the compass guiding behavior within a community or organization, fostering an environment of respect, safety, and accountability. By adhering to its principles, individuals uphold the values of inclusivity, professionalism, and ethical conduct, ultimately contributing to a culture of trust and collaboration. In essence, a code of conduct is not just a set of rules; it's the foundation upon which positive relationships and thriving communities are built... #worklife #organizationculture #Codeofconduct

Forbes recently announced that Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) was to be one of three key priorities for most organisations in 2024. We wanted to shine a light on our recently launched ‘ISO 30415:2021 - Human resource management — Diversity and Inclusion awareness course for managers’ training. This awareness training course is designed to enable attendees to gain an understanding of the requirements of the ISO 30415:2021 standard. The standard is a guideline, which helps to develop an inclusive workplace. It requires an ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion (D&I), addressing inequalities in organizational systems, policies, processes and practices in a systematic manner. -On successful completion of this course, attendees will be able to understand: -Key concepts of D&I that can be applied at their workplace with special emphasis on the ISO30415 standard. -Relationship between D&I and relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). -Guiding principles that can be systematically applied to their organizational systems, policies, processes and practices. -DNV’s scored evaluation tool that can be used to support the journey through D&I. This course is aimed at any manager with an interest in diversity and Inclusion irrespective of previous knowledge of the ISO 30415 standard. 🕐The next virtual course takes place on Monday 12 February, to find out more and book your place, click here 👉 https://dnv.social/4Ia #DiversityAndInclusion #DiversityAndInclusionTraining #DiversityTraining

Time to check your organisations culture (OC) against a set of dilemmas? I think so. When we talk about OC we often talk about when it’s observed. However this article is a great reminder of knowing when and in what situations your culture does NOT apply. Talk as they say is easy, making sure your organisations culture is seen in its actions is the only real test. I love the idea of testing your culture against dilemmas and not via the words on the wall.
