HR Organizational Culture

 


Figure 1 Organizational Culture 

Introduction 

Organizational culture is a term that describes the shared values and goals of an organization. When everyone in a corporation shares the same values and goals, it’s possible to create a culture of mutual respect, collaboration, and support. Companies that have a strong, supportive culture are more likely to attract highly qualified, loyal employees who understand and work toward the company’s best interests (Lisa Jo Rudy and Lumen Learning, n.d.).

What is the importance of culture to your company? 

Improve recruitment efforts – 77% of workers consider a company’s culture before applying

Improve employee retention – culture is one of the main reasons that 65% of employees stay in their job

Improve brand identity – 38% of employee’s report wanting to change their job due to poor company culture

Improve engagement – companies with a positive culture have up to 72% higher employee engagement rate

 Organizational culture affects all aspects of your business, from punctuality and tone to contract terms and employee benefits. When workplace culture aligns with your employees, they’re more likely to feel more comfortable, supported, and valued. Companies that prioritize culture can also weather difficult times and changes in the business environment and come out stronger (Wong, 2023).

How to Change Organizational Culture?

Organizational culture change requires a thoughtful and systematic approach. Here are some strategies to facilitate successful culture change and transformation (hipeople, n.d.).

Identifying the Need for Culture Change

Developing a Clear Vision and Strategy

Engaging and Involving Employees in the Change Process

Implementing Incremental Changes and Monitoring Progress

Evaluating and Adjusting Culture Change Efforts



 

  

Types of Organization Culture

The practices, principles, policies and values of an organization form its culture. The culture of an organization decides the way employees behave amongst themselves as well as the people outside the organization (Juneja, n.d.).

 The various types of organization culture: 

1.Normative Culture

2.Pragmatic Culture

3.Academy Culture

4.Baseball team Culture

5.Club Culture

6.Fortress Culture

7.Tough Guy Culture

8.Bet your company Culture

9.Process Culture


Conclusion

Organizational culture is increasingly understood as a critical element in the creation of high performance workspaces. A company’s prevailing values, attitudes, beliefs, artifacts, and behaviors all comprise its culture and help to create a sense of order, continuity, and commitment. Not only does the corporation as a whole have a culture, but it commonly contains numerous subcultures. Understanding culture at both levels is important because one workspace design will not necessarily best support differing work cultures. Assessing a company’s culture and subcultures provides workplace planners and designers with a foundation on which to structure an environment to support the way an organization functions and expresses itself. The bottom line in using organizational culture assessments is to help create workplace solutions with both internal and external benefits that ultimately result in improved business performance.
