Editor's Notes

  • #3 Culture is a feeling that is created by people. And experiences create the emotion of feeling. It’s these experiences & the relationships that are built from them that have a lasting impact.
  • #4 The most important thing to remember when setting out on your cultural journey is that your people are your culture. And your leaders and their leadership style must align with your culture.
  • #5 At Voxeo, our leadership styles have a lot to do with our culture. It was important to us that we build an atmosphere & environment where people thrive. People value that to which they contribute. If you build a culture where good values, ideals and ethics drive behavior and employees are empowered to do their best each and every day, you’ve succeeded.Now, let’s talk a little about Voxeo’s journey and how we built and carry on our cool culture.
  • #6 In 2010, Voxeo set out on a journey to really understand who we are and what was important to us to help us understand and preserve our culture as the company grew.
  • #7 To preserve the goodness, our culture, we set out on a journey to define who were were at the core of our beings and what our company was built on. We wanted to capture the goodness.The first of our journey was to define our core values. To do this, we surveyed every employee and asked them what made Voxeo such a special place to work at and our core values were born. So what are values &why do you define them? - Values make the decision – they provide a decision making framework - Values create a self-managed organization - Values create the experience you want and the experience drives results - Values outlive goals, trends and people
  • #8 The definition of culture includes transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations. Ryan Campbell was appointed to be Voxeo’s Chief Culture Officer and designed and built a training program to share with our existing employees and for any newbies (or new hires). His training used the art of story-telling. The stories captured the essence of what we stand for, backed our core values and inspired employees old and new to go do great things for customers because that’s who we are and we love that stuff!!!!And we continue to share these stories. Whether that be in the form of giving each other props for great jobs or a customer obsession award which gives folks a grand cash and a cool trophy (honestly I think folks like the trophy best), we carry on the culture by creating new stories about how we’re doing great things for customers each and every day.
  • #9 But I digress … So what do our core values mean?Customer Obsession is all about treating customers the way they want to be treated. All customers are different and have different needs so our job is to work with customers in the way that makes the most sense to them.
  • #10 Building open and honest relationships through communication
  • #14 We spoke earlier about our people being the foundation of our company. So how do we recruit and retain top talent? Earlier I spoke about core values being what our people live by each and every day/ We surround those people with systems and process to help them be successful.Well that’s what we put in place for ensuring we hire and keep our top performers. By coupling Top Grading, Strengths Finder and Peer Reviews, we have successfully been able to hire high performers who are great culture fits! And we keep them here by providing open and unlocked communications and frequent feedback via peer reviews, keep/stop/starts, and continuous coaching, mentoring and empowerment.
  • #18 For employees, we use Q12, developed by Gallup.Engaged employees work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company. They drive innovation and move the organization forward. Not-Engaged employees are essentially “checked out.” They are sleepwalking through their workday. They are putting in time, but not enough energy or passion into their work. Actively Disengaged employees aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting out their unhappiness. Every day, these workers undermine what their engaged co-workers accomplish.Built on progressive stages similar to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.We send an anonymous survey twice a year to all employees, gather data and address top employee concerns as a team.Voxeo consistently ranks in the 75th percentile in all stages which means we rank in the top 25% of all companies who report their Q12 scores to Gallup.
