Why is it Important for a Company to Have a Vision and Mission Statement?
While we’re undoubtedly passionate about
and committed to what we do, passion and commitment alone do not a great
company make. What’s needed is an overarching policy which defines company
goals, and sets out a strategy and tactics to achieve them. Our company vision
and mission statements not only clarify our business direction, but also serve
as an inspiration or motivation for all our team members – from senior
management to the shop floor. Being united in our common vision, and clear on
how we’re going to achieve it, opens up channels of communication, drives
employee engagement, and instills a sense of pride in our individual and
collective work…all of which ultimately translates into a better customer
experience. And you thought it was just corporate gobbledygook!
