Editorial: A sense of community
I have noticed
an interesting phenomenon over the last few years. I like flags, and in
the USA and Wales it is acceptable to fly your national flag. But until
recently, if you flew an English, St George's, flag you were likely to
be accused of being a member of the National Front - a nationalist, racist
political party.
The last
few weeks there has been a large proportion of the population driving
around England with two such flags flying from the roof of their cars.
There is football about and it is now more than acceptable to use the
English flag to support your national team.
In addition,
many people, male and female have been walking around in English football
shirts. People want to belong to a community.
When I was
at school it was normal to wear school uniforms but in the intervening
years there has been a reaction against such threats to our individualism.
However, some ten years ago I worked on a long contract for National Power
at Pembroke Power Station. Our neighbour was a large Texaco oil refinery.
Texaco staff were issued with branded jackets, which staff started to
wear outside work. Our staff came in complaining that they did not have
a uniform and so people did not know who they worked for. The first sprouts
of a new mood.
So if people
want to identify themselves with a community, what are you and your organisation
doing to create an identity for your staff? How can you tap this need?
And how might it improve morale and staff retention?
I am pleased
to release another publication by Paul
Fairhurst in his series of Straightforward guides - this one is for
building confidence and increasing self esteem.
