Corporate Culture

We have often heard of the term 'Corporate Culture' 

but what exactly does this mean?

 

Corporate culture involves the sharing of values, beliefs and behaviours.  It involves how a company's employees and management interact with each other and is reflected in other things such as:

• Employee benefits,

• Turnover,

• Hiring decisions,

• Customer service and satisfaction. 

 

Basically, corporate culture is the way things get done in the organization.

  

How can a company develop a  

strong corporate culture? 

• Make staff believe that they matter, that their opinions matter.

• Staff should use the pronouns we/us NOT they/them.

• Hire employees for attitude not for aptitude. 

• Look for people who want to give 100 percent.

• Do share the company`s vision publicly. That way everyone moves in unity and knows where the company is heading.

• Managers cannot guess how employees think.  Use open communication, become personal while remaining professional.
