Aug 7, 2025

A Quick-Start Playbook to Build Your Team's Engagement and Performance Culture — No Consultants Needed

You don’t need months of planning or a team of consultants to start shaping your company’s culture.
With POISUM, you can go from sign-up to team engagement in just one week.

Here’s your quick-start guide to launching POISUM effectively — even if this is your first time implementing a performance or engagement tool.


Step 1: Choose Your Strategic Values (3–5 Value Tags)

Start by asking yourself:
“What behaviors do we need more of to achieve our goals?”

Examples:

  • Scaling fast? → Speed, Ownership

  • Improving service? → Customer Focus, Discipline

  • Building leadership? → Teamwork, Initiative

POISUM provides 20 ready-to-use Value Tags, but you can start with 3–5 key values.

Pro Tip: Don’t overthink. The goal is to make culture visible and actionable, not perfect from day one.


Step 2: Create Missions (Simple Tasks Aligned with Values)

Missions are the daily or weekly behaviors you want to reinforce. These can be:

  • Routine tasks you want done right

  • Actions that reflect your culture

  • Initiatives tied to performance or goals

Example Missions:

Mission

Value Tag

“Complete sales report by 6 PM”

Discipline

“Share 1 process improvement idea”

Innovation

“Help onboard new intern”

Teamwork

Create 5–10 starter missions across teams.
POISUM allows missions to be assigned, picked, or self-reported — giving you full control.


Step 3: Launch Your First Campaign

To create excitement and momentum, launch a 30-day starter campaign. Keep it simple:

Sample Campaign:
Campaign Name: “Living Our Values – July Challenge”
Duration: 30 days
Goal: Complete value-tagged missions
Reward: Top 3 scorers get lunch with CEO or a small gift

As employees complete missions, they earn points.
The leaderboard updates automatically.
You can highlight progress weekly to keep energy high.

Remember: Points are accumulative — they count toward future campaigns and long-term visibility.


What You’ll See Within 2–4 Weeks
  • Increased visibility into team behavior

  • Friendly competition and engagement

  • Leaders start seeing which values are strong (and where to improve)

  • Culture becomes something your team feels and contributes to


Final Word: Don’t Wait for the “Perfect Time”

POISUM is built for action, not perfection.

Start small. Get feedback.
Watch your team move in sync with your strategy — one mission at a time.

You can always evolve your value tagsmission designs, or campaign style later.
The most important part is starting.
