Cultural Transformation
What is a company culture?
Simply, it is the personality of a company!
The beliefs and behaviours that determine how people in a business interact, how tasks and work is done. The culture creates the internal and external identity. It can be implied and not expressly defined, it can develop organically over time from the founders, Exec Team or people employed within the organisation. Interesting to note there can be sub-cultures within an organisation, this can be a set of different behaviours in smaller teams.
Why is culture important?
It sets expectations for how employees behave and work together, how they function as a team. It guides decision making, how risk is managed and can improve people's performance. It sets boundaries between teams and leads to success and health of a business and the employees. Core values should guide your people and the culture should align with your mission to help create a strong people focussed culture. Additions to create an engaging culture inc praise and recognition with a good perks and benefits package.
