Organizational culture is a term and idea that was popularized in the 1980s and ’90s. During this time, there was a shift in management philosophy towards recognizing the importance of the internal experience in shaping employee behavior, productivity, and overall success. Employee engagement, values-based hiring, and DEI initiatives are efforts directly connected to this philosophy. They were seen as innovative and progressive for their time. But now, we have a front-row seat to its limitations. Gallup data suggest that most organizations have yet to tap into the power of their culture. From my perspective, and as the data continues to suggest, culture work is outdated based on how we build and grow our businesses today. As we watch companies innovate in every other part of their business, it is time to shift from this decades-old approach to something built for our current and future multi-generational, nomadic, and meaning-seeking workforce.

Businesses need to take note when "only one in five employees strongly agree they feel connected to their organization's culture." This insightful provides actionable steps for leaders to increase employee #engagement. This article from Gallop discusses when cultural values can work against you and provides some good examples of when good concepts go badly. #leadershipmatters

What we're reading: The Best Parts of Your Culture Aren't Scaling — Yet via Gallup. https://lnkd.in/gXwVqTT3 This is a great read, especially for #HR professionals. We like their third point best — Culture is what is observable. "Culture is about words, actions, habits, decisions and behaviors. In other words, it’s visible. You notice the culture when you enter a retail space, a factory floor or an office." But how do you make culture quantifiable? How do you solicit ongoing feedback about your company culture?

Does your company culture align with your mission and values? Ensuring this alignment is key to fostering a motivated and high-performing team. When culture and values are in sync, employee engagement, productivity, and workplace atmosphere thrive. Take a moment to evaluate if your company’s daily practices reflect its core values and mission. #CompanyCulture #WorkplaceValues #EmployeeEngagement #Leadership

What is the connection between employee engagement, productivity and organizational culture? Is it possible to sustain a healthy engaged team, division or region culture that supercedes an orgainization’s toxic and dysfunctional default culture?

The impact of an organization's culture on digital (or any) transformation. Studies have shown that the single most important element in determining success in changing an organization’s culture is the interest, support, and even passion displayed by its leader.

Organisational Culture is not a once-a-year project. It's the lifeblood of your business. In today's fast-paced world, culture is always on. It underpins everything and without it, your business will flounder. If you have 30+ employees, it's time to harness data. Continuously collect and analyse employee feedback, not just annual surveys. Make small, consistent changes based on the data. Coomunicate it back to your people. It's not a one-and-done initiative. Employee listening is critical to building a thriving company culture. Don't underestimate the power of your people. #EmployeeEngagement #CompanyCulture #Leadership #PeopleAnalytics #HR #CultureMatters https://lnkd.in/ehdpDUpj

Culture is everybody's responsibility, its also not just fun and snacks. "Workplace culture gets a bad rap. Some executives think it's a squishy term that human resources folks use to justify the need for employee satisfaction surveys. Others think it bubbles up organically from the ground level of the workforce, so it doesn't require intentional focus." #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeDevelopment
