Employer of Choice
An employer of choice is one in which people
desire and choose to work for. The organization creates a
culture in which every employee, regardless of cultural or
individual differences, knows they are valued and respected as a
human being and everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow,
and contribute to their fullest potential making the organization
able to successfully attract, retain, and engage talented and high
performing employees.

3 How to Become an
Employer of Choice
What do you believe it takes to become an Employer of Choice?
3
• Does the top level leadership care if the organization is an EOC? (desire)
• Can we clearly articulate the benefits of becoming an EOC?
• Do we fully understand what it will take to be an EOC?
• Is our culture supportive of being an EOC?• Do our leaders practice a theory X or
theory Y style of leadership? (expectations?)
• Will our policies and procedures support and help us be an EOC?
• How much effort, energy, and resources are we prepared to put into becoming an EOC?
• Are we going to stick to it or is it just a flavor of the month?
To become an Employer of
Choice

determine future actions.”

KEY TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR
If you want to truly change the behavior of people you must get them to shift their paradigms.
If you want people to shift their paradigms you have to provide them with good information in a manner that touches them at an emotional place so they choose to change.
Others, however, will have to be held accountable for actions that are counter what you are trying to accomplish.
People change for one of two reasons . . .

irresponsible?

“In today’s world it is not enough to simply have technology, and in fact, technology by itself is not even a sustainable position. Any other company can buy equipment just like
we use. They can purchase the same raw material we use, build buildings just like us. However, the one thing they cannot buy is our culture, the loyalty of our employees, that
is a sustainable competitive position.” Fred P. Keller
Founder and Chairman Cascade Engineering Inc.
Seed ofan idea
“To show that you could run a business that cares about people and still be profitable.” – Fred P. Keller

What is an Employer of Choice Culture
A culture where people are TRULY treated just as important as the bottom line and
the explicit expectation is set that leaders and employees alike will treat one another with
dignity, respect, kindness, and consideration.
1What Is It?
Building A Culture
• Set cultural expectations – the behavioral expectations
• Selection system – fit to job and culture
• On-boarding – communicate behavioral expectations
• Paradigm shifting training programs – challenge employee’s basic thoughts and move them to action
• Paradigm shifting leadership development – change leader behaviors
• Measure the culture – employee opinion surveys, PEP, PTP, ethics hotline, etc.
• Policies and procedures – how do you deal with employees and leaders whose behaviors are counter to the culture you wish to develop and maintain?6

Who is in poverty?
46 Million People (1 out of 6 Americans)Wage earners who have lost their good paying jobsSeniors who can’t afford medicineYoung adults with college degrees - can’t find a jobDisabled because no one will hireEx-felons no one will hireFamilies living on minimum wage jobs, no benefitsPeople leaving the military1 in 5 children
The Situation In Putnam County

• 9% Unemployment rate (5.3 nationally)
• 20% of children are food insecure (14.6% nationally)
• 17% of children live in poverty• 50% are on free or reduced lunch

Poverty Is . . .
• A lack of resources for reasonably comfortable living.
• A level of personal or family income below which, one is classified as poor according to government standards.
• Lack of money or material possessions.
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Key Points
• Poverty, middle class, and wealth are relative
• Economic class is a continuous line, not a clear-cut distinction.
• Generational poverty and situational poverty are different.
• This work is based on patterns. All patterns have exceptions.
• An individual brings with him/her the hidden rules of the economic class in which he/she was raised.
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Dr. Ruby K. PayneAdapted from: A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Dr. Ruby K. Payne
• Businesses, law enforcement, schools, and social services operate from middle class norms and use the hidden rules of middle class.
• We can neither excuse persons from poverty, nor scold them for not knowing.
• In order to move from poverty to middle class or middle class to wealth, a person must give up relationships for achievement, at least for a period of time
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Key Points
A Working definition of poverty is “the extent to which an individual
does without resources.”
FINANCIAL Having the money to purchase
goods and services and having an understanding of how money works.
“If I had to do without one of these resources, I
would do without financial”
Dr. Ruby Payne
Poverty is not all about money. Many lotto
winners find themselves in worse
financial shape than before they won the lottery.
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
EMOTIONAL Being able to choose and controlemotional responses, particularly tonegative situations, without engaging in self-destructive behavior. This is an internal resource and shows itself through stamina, perseverance, and choices.
May be themost important
resource
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
MENTAL Having the mental abilities and skills(reading, writing, computing) to deal with dailylife. The education and training to compete in the workplace for good paying jobs.
If you can’t count money, how do you
know you get the correct change back?
If you can’t read, write or compute you must rely on others. How much reading do you have to do
to purchase 5 gallons of gas or figure our a bus schedule?
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
MOTIVATION, STAMINA, and PERSEVERANCE Having the energy and drive to prepare for, plan,
and complete projects, jobs, and personal change. This is another internal resource.
Personal Leadership -providing yourself with a
way, direction, or path and then making it happen.
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
SUPPORT SYSTEMS Having friends, family, and backup resources
available to access in times of need. These are external resources.
Car breaks down or children get sick.
Who do you have tosupport you during
these times?
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
RELATIONSHIPS/ROLE MODELS Having frequent access to adult(s) who are
appropriate, who are nurturing to the child, and who do not engage in self-destructive behavior.
“Many times in poorneighborhoods the role
model is the guy standingon the corner with the gold
chains, big car and a wadof money.”
Ron JimmersonAdapted from: A Framework for Understanding Poverty
by Dr. Ruby K. PayneAdapted from: A Framework for Understanding Poverty
by Dr. Ruby K. Payne
KNOWLEDGE of the HIDDEN RULES Knowing the unspoken cues and habits of both
middle class and wealth.
How can you besuccessful in school orbusiness if you really
don’t understand the rulesby which these entities
operate?

Who will win?
Generational Poverty
“The worlds of work and school are based on middle class rules. Those who wish to succeed must learn the hidden rules of that culture. In other words, they must be able to use two sets of
rules.”
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Adapted from: A Framework for Understanding Povertyby Dr. Ruby K. Payne
Why is it important that those from middle class understand the hidden rules of generational poverty?

P1 is lost and needs help getting to where P2 is.
“Those who work with people in poverty must know two
cultures as well and be skilled in assisting their employees and
co-workers who choose to bridge out of poverty.”

MANY OF THE BEHAVIORS THAT EMPLOYEES BRING TO WORK ARE
NECESSARY TO HELP THEM SURVIVE OUTSIDE OF WORK
“As welfare reform continues to pare the welfare rolls, former

have people who are coming to seek shelter who just got jobs at
