When It’s Time to Rewrite the Story

When It’s Time to Rewrite Your Story in Coaching and Life There is a funny thing about the stories we tell ourselves. We love them. We need them. Sometimes, without realizing it, we get trapped inside them. Stories shape our identity as athletes, coaches, and parents. They drive motivation, create culture, and influence how we approach challenges. But sometimes the story we tell no longer fits.…

Scrum, Actually: Fixing the Daily Catch-Up

We called it a “daily catch-up.”It felt more like a group panic disguised as a status update.Nobody knew why we were doing it—just that we had to. Then I read the Scrum Guide.Turns out, we were doing it wrong. Here’s how we fixed it. The first time I experienced a Daily Scrum, I thought it was a job interview. Every day. For the same job. That I already had. At 9:30 AM, we’d gather like…

Hidden Influencers: Who Really Leads Your Team?

Hidden leaders exist in every team — whether we see them or not. They’re the ones people naturally turn to for advice, direction, or even silent approval. And often, they’re not the ones with the formal titles. Working with teams across different industries, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again: it’s not the org chart that drives how work gets done — it’s the social system underneath…

6 Ways to Showcase Team Culture to Potential Employees

It may seem easy enough to find employees when the economy is shrinking and unemployment rates are quite high at 3.8%.

But guess what?

Even with such widespread unemployment, it’s not easy to hire new employees. In fact, 77% of employers report difficulty in hiring talent for the right roles.

This underscores the need to have a solid plan in place to attract and retain talent. You need to promote your business to potential employees to get their attention. And that’s where team culture can help.

You can showcase your team culture to showcase what potential employees can experience when they join your organization.

But how can you go about it?

Let’s find out.

6 Ways You Can Show Your Team Culture

Here are five crucial ways through which you can showcase your team culture to potential employees and attract them to your organization.

1. Organize Team Building Activities

One of the best ways to showcase and build your team culture is through team building events. These could be both physical and virtual events based on the sort of team you have.

And how exactly do these events help?

Well, they help your team bond over things other than work. It helps cultivate a team spirit among them and also helps them unwind from work.

With Confetti, you get access to a host of virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. From escape quest games to cooking classes and wine-tasting, there’s so much you can do to build your team spirit.

But how do these activities help attract potential employees?

Well, you can showcase these activities on social media, your website (including the hiring page!), and email campaigns to give prospects an idea of what they can experience when they join you. A win-win, really!

2. Create Employee Testimonial Videos

While team events showcase how your employees engage with each other in fun activities, there’s nothing quite as effective as listening to employees. When potential employees hear good things about your company coming directly from existing and past employees, they’ll feel motivated to join your organization.

And that’s where employee testimonial videos come in. They bring legitimacy as the prospects know it’s the employees talking. All you have to do is give your employees a chance to speak freely about their experience at your organization and shoot those videos.

You can then edit them using an online video editor and share them on social media and your careers pages. Such validation of your organization can come in handy to attract employees.

3. Use Employee Advocacy on Social Media

Employees can turn into influencers for your brand on social media. While they may not have the large followings commanded by influencers, they can influence their circles by publishing things related to your company.

All you have to do is motivate your employees to share company news on social media. And you can do this by leveraging customer portal platforms where you can share company news with them. Your employees can easily share these events with their followers on social media.

You can also motivate them to write about any good experience they have with your organization. For instance, if your human resource department comes up with an outstanding leave policy, your employees can highlight it on social media. Encouraging such engagement is also a great way to understand how to measure employee satisfaction, as positive feedback and shared experiences reflect workplace happiness. This can help build your employer brand and attract prospective employees.

4. Highlight Employee Diversity

Diverse employee groups might consider a company’s diversity inclusiveness before choosing to apply for a position there. That’s why it’s important to promote your organization’s diverse culture online.

You must first strive to create a workplace that provides equal opportunities to minorities and helps them thrive. In fact, you can host diversity activities to embed this in your company’s ethos.

Then, show diversity on your careers page, and make sure you interview a diverse set of employees and publish their work stories on social media.

Also, show how your workplace culture is different from that of other organizations and position your organization as one that cares about its employees’ well-being.

For example, look at this careers page on Toggl. Note how they’ve highlighted their diversity by including the number of nationalities, languages, and more. They’ve even put up images of employees together and virtually meeting up. It motivates prospects from all around the world to apply for the vacancies at Toggl.

5. Recognize Your Employees

Employee recognition is the key to employee satisfaction. When you recognize the hard work put in by your employees with appreciation gifts, they’ll feel recognized and be motivated to work even harder.

What’s more?

Recognizing your employees will also motivate them to share their achievements on social media. In fact, you can share them on professional social platforms like LinkedIn through your company profile to recognize them online.

When prospective employees see how the current employees are rewarded for their performance in your organization, they’ll be inclined to apply for vacancies in your company.

The best part about recognizing employees is that it’s a great way to even retain existing employees. This makes it a win-win situation where you attract new employees and retain existing ones.

6. Position Your Employees as Experts

One of the things potential employees consider before joining an organization is the growth prospects it offers. A company that enables its employees to grow professionally will likely attract more interest from prospective employees.

And that’s why it’s crucial to position your employees as experts. Give them a stage to grow by enabling them to speak at events, host podcasts, write guest posts on other websites, and more.

You could take this a step further and have your employees featured in courses you create. All you need to do is invest in a course creation platform like Thinkific. Here’s a review of the platform by Attrock to help you determine if it’s the right fit for you. You can then shoot the courses with your employees and promote them.

While it helps your employees stand out, it also makes your organization more human. When prospects see that they could potentially see their personal brands grow with your business, they’ll also be more likely to apply for vacancies in your organization.

For instance, Ahrefs does this extremely well. Their courses feature their employees who get positioned as thought leaders. It helps build their brand awareness too.

Final Thoughts

While the job market may be packed with loads of applicants, finding the right employees for your vacancies is no mean deal. It’s something most companies struggle with.

And that’s why it’s important to showcase your team culture and build a solid employer brand. Organize team building activities, make employee testimonial videos, recognize them, position them as thought leaders, and use employee advocacy to make your organization attractive for prospective employees.

Ever think about how niche and rich Gotham culture must be? (aka i've been going over this whilst writing and needed to share)

Like-

Would gas masks become fashionable?

Would there be even stricter laws about importing certian goods into Gotham or even tracking places that sell them?? (ex Nitrous Oxide, balloons, birds, etc)

Do people rep different Bat merch like a local sports team?

Would people treat the Bats (or other guest vigilantes) like bird watching? (*cough tim cough*)

Is there a weapon/gear drop off service??

Or do people collect that shit

Would there be antidote administration lessons alongside epi pen first aid in schools?

Please id love to hear your thoughts/interpretations because I swear theres so much- (Sincerely, @batfambrainrotbeloved)

this is one of the best asks i had received here. single-handedly. here is what i think:

gas masks are DEFINITELY a part of the local fashion. they have vigilante and rogue themed once also! do you want Batman-themed gas mask? here you go. or Red Robin one? oh, what is it? you want THE special edition gas mask? the Scarecrow THEMED one? don't worry. we have you covered.

i just know that customs house workers are NOT getting paid enough for this shit. they have, like, ridiculous amount of directive about the simplest items, and that's why tourists are skipping this fucking town. i also pretty much need the game in Papers, Please style with customs house in Gotham, lmao—

my personal canon? every vigilante and some of rogues have merch selling in the town; some more popular than others. my personal canon x2? the Crime Alley started to rep their own Red Hood merch, and Jason was flabbergasted. he then visited the owners of the merch, encouraging them to donate this ridiculous amount of money they get for the rest of Crime Alley citizens. once people found out about this? they went even more insane. the selling of Red Hood merch is just OVER the top. (bonus headcanon: sometimes, there is a ship merch, too. like SuperBat stuff. or BatCat. Dick accidentally stumbles on BatJokes when he hunts for SuperBats key chains and calls Jason to ask him to burn this place down.)

Tim was the OG birdwatcher, trust. but also, YEAH. i am pretty sure some people prepare themselves for the night by grabbing binoculars and super-puper rich cams to examine Bats in their natural habitat. Bats know about the existence of these people, but they can't really do anything about it. Tim has a secret Reddit account that is a local expert in their Gotham Birdwatching community, where he is giving advice or just being a condescending asshole to people. Barbara sometimes chimes in this subreddit to add her own thoughts.

Bats suck at keeping their gadgets or broken pieces of inventory, trust. and people...? oh, people collect this shit. it is either freaks, who have their own personal museums for this, or, like, people who sell what they find on Amazon. everyone wants a piece of that to themselves. (bonus headcanon: Crime Alley people keep bringing Red Hood's dropped weapons and gears back, under Jason's door, even though Jason *insists* that he has no connection to Red Hood. uh-uh.)

i always thought police stations, schools, hospitals, and similar public spaces have different antidotes stocked in any case — Bruce Wayne makes sure it does. and yes, i think they have special lessons for different, specific scenarios: what to do once faced with toxins or pollens, how to apply medicine, or what to do if there is none of it. how to act if there are Poison Ivy's plants surrounding you, etc, etc. police officers definitely carry a few antidotes on themselves, just in case people will need it. and, obviously, the same goes for Bats.

Heyy! Just a sudden thought came out. How do the tfp bots react to different languages? Maybe Miko suddenly said something in Japanese or they come across a commercial in a different language. Would they find it odd since i don't think they have different languages as well in Cybertron (unless there is and i just haven't been able to see) anyways hope you are feeling well and remember to take care of urself!

I don't imagine the bots are all that surprised honestly. Cybertron is a huge place with plenty of cities and castes. There was endless room for language to evolved before and during the war. That said, I like to think there were dozens if not hundreds of various Cybertronian dialects that served as what amounted to separate languages tied together only by core glyphs like how Latin serves romantic languages today.

With that in mind, finding out that humans have a ton of different languages probably wouldn't be particularly unusual, just annoying for everyone except the former archivist in the room. Ratchet would be in the corner cursing as he tries to quickly download some Japanese from the internet after Miko goes off in it. Arcee would be absolutely bewildered at the Spanish spat out by Raf during his flash card practice. Bulkhead and Bee would be equally frustrated with the French Jack occasionally drops when he's doing his homework. But Optimus?

He LIVES for this stuff.

The moment he has an excuse to learn the various languages of Earth without the guilt of not doing war related things eating him up, you can bet the archivist in him would instantly begin screeching in glee. Japanese? Give him a week and a lot of anger from Miko at his constant questioning and he's got it down. Spanish? Easy. Hardly more than a night's worth of homework since it's so close to English. French? Piece of cake.

The team fear their Prime for his fanatical dedication to data whenever the old habit rises from the ash like a mummy barely resuscitated for the specific purpose of gathering up books like a drake.

I'm begging y'all to remember Percy Jackson is canonically urban,poor and alternative and not suburban,well-off and sheltered.I'm equally begging y'all to read the SLIGHTEST bits of punk history so you can find out one of the main point's of the subculture is 'power is inherently bad due to the inevitable corruption it leads to in our society' so Percy can't be punk and a god or accept his true potential gifted by Poseidon's superior ichor manwhore genes or whatever
