Improving Company Culture

Company culture can be described as the personality [i.e. prevailing behaviours, disposition and character] of a company. It defines the environment in which employees work and includes a variety of elements, such as work environment, company mission, values, ethics, expectations and goals.

It is simply the summation of how people within an organization interact with each other and work together. In other words, how things are done there.

Some benefits of a good company culture are:

• Satisfaction:

  this is one of the immediate benefits of a good work culture, as employees are happier working in positive work environments.

• Increased Performance:

  workplace satisfaction engenders several motivators for an employee, as they are likely to be more confident in their work and strive to work harder and achieve more.

• Reduced Stress:

  a poor culture will cause stress at work, affecting a number of areas, including work performance and socializing with other employees. A good culture is likely to reduce stress, and consequently, poor performance and turnover.

• Reduced Attrition:

  if an employee is happy and fits in well at a company, they are more likely to continue working hard and remain committed to the company with less motivation to leave.

• Commitment to Company:

  above all else, a good company culture will likely make an employee remain committed to the company because they fit so well.
