For every company, it\u2019s vital to create a culture where employees feel safe, valued, appreciated, and where their wellbeing is supported. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">But for multinational companies, creating a sense of community is always a challenge. Ensuring that company culture extends to all offices and all countries is no easy task. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">There is, however, a way. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Being Consistent<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">To provide an example, let\u2019s look at employee benefits and how multinational companies can administer them across multiple countries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">First and foremost, the benefits offered to your employees should be based on your company values. Let\u2019s say, for example, one of your company values is the understanding that, while what employees do at work is important, what employees do outside work is equally important to their wellbeing. As a result, you decide to offer your employees benefits that support their wellbeing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In order to implement a successful benefits strategy in a multinational organization a global-but-local approach is required. The overarching theme of your benefits is based on your company values (in this case, employee wellbeing) and is globalized and extended to all countries and offices. However, the specifics of the benefits are localized, depending upon the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In this example, we can see consistency carried across all markets, based on the company values. A consistent message helps align employees, regardless of location, around a central idea, which contributes to creating a sense of community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2798830\/Kvinde_iPad_Ude%20(002).jpg\" alt=\"Kvinde_iPad_Ude (002)\" width=\"739\" style=\"width: 739px; margin: 5px 0px 0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The One Common Thread<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Across offices, across countries, your company values are the only constant, and they play an integral role in shaping your company culture. It is your company values that provides consistency in all that you do, across offices and across countries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Therefore, to create a sense of community in a multinational organization, you must reinforce your company values at every opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Determine what behaviors and beliefs you value as a company and have everyone live true to them.

To do this, you must show employees that what they do matters. Help employees \u201cconnect the dots\u201d and see that what they do has value. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As we suggest in our post <a href=\"\/4-tips-for-creating-a-culture-where-employees-thrive\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>4 Tips for Creating a Culture Where Employees Thrive<\/em><\/a>, organiz<\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">ations would be wise to find ways to help their employees understand and practice the company\u2019s core values. One way to do this is to make it part of employee onboarding.
