Organisational Culture

The culture of an organisation is an amalgamation of its values, belief systems, goals, and the manner in which all these are communicated and reinforced internally and externally.

Consistent communication, training & development and rewards & recognition help build a great culture. It is also important to create opportunities for employees to get to know each other and build relationships, as this can help to foster a sense of community and collaboration within the organisation.

Here are the steps to build an organisational culture:

1. Identify the values and goals that you want to prioritise within your organisation. These should align with your organisation's mission and vision and reflect the ideals you want to promote within your workplace.
2. Communicate your values and goals to employees, and make sure that they are understood and embraced. This can be done through regular meetings, training programs, and company-wide communications.
3. Model the desired behaviours and values in your own actions and decisions. Employees will look to their leaders for guidance and direction, so it is important to consistently demonstrate the behaviours and values that you want to promote.
4. Provide ongoing training and development opportunities to help employees understand and adopt the desired behaviours and values. This can include workshops, seminars, and mentoring programs.
5. Create opportunities for employees to interact and build relationships with each other. This can help to foster a sense of community and collaboration, while creating an Organisational Climate employees would love to experience.
6. Implement rewards and recognition programs that acknowledge and reward employees for exemplifying the desired behaviours and values.
7. Monitor and assess the effectiveness of your organisational culture-building efforts, and make adjustments as needed. This can involve conducting surveys, focus groups, and other forms of feedback to gauge how well your efforts are working and where improvements can be made.
