Workplace Culture
“Creating the culture you want and need is no longer an option. It is a business necessity.” Connors & Smith, 1999.
Every company’s workplace culture is unique. Workplace culture is a vital element in creating an environment that fosters high performance in its employees.
But if your company is experiencing such challenges as high employee turnover, poor employee morale, or a general lack of ownership by employees in their respective roles, then maybe it’s time to step back and evaluate your company’s workplace culture and determine whether or not your company has a focused workforce.
A focused workforce is one that has a disciplined, focused attitude toward work. When the employer establishes and maintains an environment where employees operate to their fullest potential and where they perform their work in a productive, efficient manner, then focus and synergy are achieved.
If analyzing your workplace culture still doesn’t make sense, then review these other telltale signs that represent a lack of alignment within your organization:
- People remain silent and don’t voice their opinion when you call for a decision.
- You keep being surprised by the actions people take because they are inconsistent with the agreed upon direction.
- You don’t see tangible progress on an issue when by all rights you should be moving forward throughout the organization.
- In meetings, people keep bringing up issues that you thought were resolved.
- People complain, make excuses and blame others for lack of progress.
- You observe a lack of ownership and enthusiasm for implementing a course of action that has been set.
- People state that they disagree with a decision or a direction that has already been taken.¹
