Culture: A Key Factor That Drives a Successful Organisation
We all understand the term “Culture” which we hear and practice since our childhood. Beliefs, preaches, chronicles, outlook, customs, principles, and values collectively form the culture which represents a particular religion, country, society, groups, and organizations making them different from others.
A well-established culture helps in achieving recognition, identity and a sense of security of sharing common values or beliefs which results in their well-being.
Culture At Workplace
An organization’s core values, convictions, and perceptions structures the organization’s culture which cascades down to its people and is apparent in its office infrastructure, way of conduct of its people, hiring decision, client satisfaction, retention ratio, goals, working policies, communication structure, etc.
Defining and setting up a healthy culture in the workplace is equally important for organizations’ sustainability, brand image, collaboration, setting up of transformational relationships, shaping people in organization’s way with the intent of achieving the targeted goals and its people’s overall growth.
Why Should Companies have a defined culture?
Let’s imagine, unfortunately, you took a wrong route, having no network connection and found that there are no signs and directions to guide you on reaching your destination - what would happen then??
Likewise, work culture plays a vital role of setting up sound pillars of the company and provide directions, way to do the work, define the conduct of their people which aid in achieving the Company’s long term vision. People are the most crucial pillar in making the foundation of the organization. They come up with the heavy baggage of their beliefs, customs, principles, values, and conditioning. Founders manage people with the help of a sound-culture which has its root spread throughout the organization.
