Organizations need to have their CIOs at the table as part of top level management and CIOs need to deliver solutions that can help to transform how a business or organization seeks, services, and retains their clients and other stakeholders.
As an introvert there are many things I tend to avoid in the workplace: large meetings, crowded lunch rooms, and office social events.
The work environment can be a frightening place for an introvert; especially in collaborative settings where participation is not only expected, it’s mandatory.
For some leaders strong workplace culture is a no-brainer. You treat employees with respect, you communicate well, and you inspire others. Sadly, and unfortunately, it seems as though some leaders actually want a company to sink. If you happen to be one of these types of leaders, I have compiled a short list to help you on your way of turning your once happy profitable ship into a sinking Titanic.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 64% of Americans who leave their jobs say they do so because they don’t feel appreciated. Gallup reports that almost 70 percent of people in the United States say they receive no praise or recognition in the workplace.
It is much easier to find expertise, to solve problems, to seek out other opinions and to engage a diverse, global workforce with these tools than with some of the earlier tools like email and company portals. All of this enables an enterprise to innovate faster.
Thanks to a multitude of communication tools (Intranet, email, newsletters, etc.) there has never been a better time to be an internal communicator. But while communicating may have gotten simpler, it’s still a challenging task. How do you speak to multiple departments? Who needs to know what? And why should your employees care? Here are some of the most common mistakes still made by internal communicators.
Your employees are the ones who help reach the collective goals of the organisation.
Hence it is very important to keep their morale up so they can work towards achieving better results.
