What is workplace culture? And why do you need a clear definition of workplace culture?
So, what exactly is this beast called workplace culture? There are many definitions of workplace culture, but it’s surprising, given how important workplace culture is, how many leaders have only a vague sense of what workplace culture really is. If you are going to hire with your workplace culture in mind, onboard and train for your culture, assess your workplace culture, and grow your workplace culture, then it’s important to make sure everyone on your team has the same understanding about what it is you are talking about and are using the same language!
What do you think? Do these definitions resonate with you? How does your leadership team and organization define workplace culture? Please leave a comment, question, or idea in the comment box below!
