Have you ever felt out of place at work? Sometimes you just feel that others know things you don’t. You feel disconnected at times and aren’t sure how to get connected. There seems to be some invisible system of activity happening all around you. You know you could add to the conversations, but it just seems elusive. Some people swim in this flow of communication and work easily, and you’d like to be in that flow.

What you’re feeling and experiencing is Assumed Culture. It’s a mix of the norms and relationships that every company has but no one ever communicates all that it entails. It can be extremely frustrating and career limiting. How can we break through? Well, let’s together and talk about it !!

The topic for the June HR Roundtable is – “Breaking Through Assumed Culture at Work.”

We’ll get together on Tuesday, 6/4/24 from 8:30am to 9:30am at Scarlet Oaks. (directions are below) – Please note that we may be in the regular cafeteria or the Annex (where we normally meet). Just look for me and I’ll direct you to the right place !!

We’ve all been a part of assumed culture, or we perpetuate it and don’t even notice anymore. I want to make sure you’re a part of this conversation, so to be clear, please send me an email at - sbrowne@larosas.com and let me know if you can make the June Roundtable. I hope you can.

Thanks – Steve
