Every employee and business tries to be a “good fit” in the marketplace. Typically one thinks of core values of business and personal character like ethics, integrity, trust, diligence, perseverance, and responsibility, but there is more to the picture in today’s working environment.
The Midterm Elections are an indication of where to find quality candidates that are “values aligned.” States that primarily identified as Democrat previously, went a deeper blue, and the same happened for GOP run states. Thousands of companies are searching executive, talent and labor base employment companies to find quality jobseekers, but that can be difficult to know where to begin in this tight labor market.
It’s called corporate culture. The Indeed company defines it this way:
Corporate culture is an organization’s values, ethics, vision, behaviors and work environment. It is what makes each company unique, and it impacts everything from public image to employee engagement and retention. If employees share a company’s ethics, vision and other cultural elements, it can positively affect a company’s bottom line. Companies with good corporate culture often have high workplace morale, and highly engaged, productive staff. Organizations might define their cultures in their company culture statements, which are becoming nearly as important as mission statements.
Pro freedom RedBalloon company has a data and analytics team that have been tracking and documenting the migration of American talent from states where their values are under represented by legislation to states that are more values aligned. This suggests that companies who are looking for employees that will be productive workers may need to hire remotely or look to relocate their business to applicant-rich locations.
Some of the cultural element data might include: area illegal immigration, taxes, welfare, law enforcement and safety issues, gun rights friendly environment versus gun grab environment and legislation, pro-life culture versus pro-abortion culture, workplace “diversity” issues, and may include traditional Christian communities versus other religious, non-religious or antiChristian communities. These factors all affect employees and whether or not they want to relocate or take a job with a particular company or in the area where the company is based. Examples of that might be the San Francisco area with its high rate of LGBTQP population, street and homeless people along with the high rates of drug use and illegals in their sanctuary city. Or in smaller places like Provincetown, Massachusetts with its high percentage of LGBTQP population and businesses that cater to that behavior. Provincetown is known as the “Gayest city in America” according to Gay Real Estate magazine.
When making these workplace moves employees must decide what values are important to them. That includes everything from workplace culture, what workplace environment is better for your best work, workplace relationship qualities, role models, workplace and community motivation, and professional development among others.
“Political polarization is increasingly driving a divided labor market, making it difficult for companies to hire productive workers in certain areas across the country,” Andrew Crapuchettes, Chief Executive Officer of RedBalloon, said. “The thousands of companies flocking to RedBalloon are beginning to strategize how to tap these hidden pools of talent.”
“Many American jobseekers are taking this opportunity to make the move that they have been contemplating for years. Now that they are finally migrating to states that support and protect their values, companies would benefit from offering remote work or relocating their entire business,” Crapuchettes added.
