To survive and succeed, every organization wants its employees to be pro-active and productive. Only a positive work culture encourages the workers to stay engaged and motivated. Therefore, the work environment shouldn’t result in stress instead it should garner a productive, efficient, creative, and motivational atmosphere. Organizational culture is a significant driver of business success. However, there is no such thing as a good or bad culture, rather it is an effective or ineffective one that sets a company apart from its competitors. All the incredibly successful companies including Apple, Amazon, Walmart, and Google have their distinctive business strategy. It is vital that the organizational alignment of any company should be consistent and in line with everyone on board.
Regardless of where a company stands, it’s business strategy should explicitly define its vision, value proposition, financial performance, future results goals and behaviours that will direct its actions on the path toward achieving those goals and ultimately great outcomes. In order to promote change and constructive growth, every company should take steps to evaluate its existing culture. Even if a company is relatively satisfied with its work atmosphere, evaluation is still essential to examine the current culture and have a rational discussion about the workspace and their direction for the future. Analysis is vital to effectively create a work environment that supports both the desired culture and assists in creating a healthy, respectful, innovative and productive working environment.
Companies that encourage a support an open and participative environment tend to have more engaged, motivated and creative employees and will likely outperform their competitors. When top-performing employees leave a company, the organization not only has to face that loss of highly skilled workers but also has to endure with the high cost of recruiting new employees, those transition and training costs and a disruption to the talent pipeline. A strong work culture, where people enjoy working, motivates employees to stay and work toward achieving those organizational goals.
