COURSE OVERVIEW:

Organisational culture is a term that describes the shared values and goals of an organisation. When everyone in a corporation shares the same values and goals, it’s possible to create a culture of mutual respect, collaboration, and support. Companies that have a strong, supportive culture are more likely to attract highly qualified, loyal employees who understand and work toward the company’s best interests.

Organisational culture can define a business and make all the difference when it comes to retaining employees and keeping them happy. With 64% of employees feeling like they don’t have a strong work culture, according to an international report, many companies are falling short in providing their staff what they need to succeed in the workplace.

Organisational culture includes an organisation’s expectations, experiences, philosophy, as well as the values that guide member behaviour, and is expressed in member self-image, inner workings, interactions with the outside world, and future expectations. Culture is based on shared attitudes, beliefs, customs, and written and unwritten rules that have been developed over time and are considered valid. Culture also includes the organisation’s vision, values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits.

Your company culture is a reflection of what your organisation stands for, and as the voice of your business, your employees are key to ensuring that it succeeds. When you provide a work environment that your staff enjoys spending time in, it can help to improve their performance each and every day.

This course provides a solid explanation on what organisational culture is, and the tools and techniques required to create your own corporate culture in your organisation.
