6 Elements of a Strong Organizational Culture

Putting in place an organizational culture where employees are passionate and engaged in what they do can take years with flawless execution.

John Spence, author Awesomely Simple yes Excellence by Design, defines organizational culture as follows: Culture = Cash. The explanation is simple, the more involved, satisfied and loyal employees are in the company, the more involved, satisfied and loyal customers are.

And then the question arises: “Who comes first: the employee or the customer?” without hesitation, the employee. If you recruit great people and build a strong organizational culture, they will take care of customer happiness, satisfaction and loyalty.

Cele 6 Elements of a Strong Organizational Culture:

1. Company Values
   They are important in a company because every decision is made through the filter of values and every employee lives these values, creating a behavior that will not change over time, even if there is a possibility that the organization will.
2. Friendly Relations
   These can only be formed in a non-formal setting. This can be given by events such as: parties, games, Family Day, Company Day, etc. Even the employees' families can be brought in.
3. Celebrating Success
   The gratitude shown to your colleagues will always be appreciated. You can create internal R&R programs where your colleagues can be rewarded by both the CEO and other colleagues at annual galas, teambuilding or regular company meetings.
4. CSR
   A successful organizational culture has a social responsibility part. You can add the CSR component to both teambuilding and larger internal events, such as an Awards Gala or Family Day.
5. Learning
   Pay attention to employee learning: from Book Clubs to online learning programs, thematic conferences or trainings.
6. Company History
   The company story will always be fascinating and unique for new employees. They will want to know that they are part of a team with history and, more importantly, how this relates to the current strategy and culture.
