We get such a unique opportunity to have a really big impact on the human experience of work and change. #organisationalpsychology #organisationalchange #hiring #psychologist #businesspsychology

A great infographic showing the components of company culture. Whilst there are many tangible things a business needs to put in place to help create a good culture, for me it’s mainly down to the smaller steps, gestures, emotional intelligectural interactions and people that make the culture.

Building a great culture is not about slides in the office and other perks. It's about the core stuff that makes us human. Building safety, trust. Staying true to our values and mission. Chipping away at our goals step by step. Genuine communication. Enjoying the process more than the goal. That's what creates a great culture, where people thrive.

First define 'culture'? If no one sees them (the things), how does anyone know about them. Also this metaphor/image is as old as the stone age. Does vision statement, mission, results stay/belong below the surface of this metaphor? What/who defines where the waterline is and why? From whose perspective should this be looked at? Does this metaphor infer that enjoyment is better or worse than purpose, core or more superficial? I guess what I am saying here is that its a metaphor often used in business and I am not sure how useful it is. Then I think it is classic LI marcom, click bait. Ho hum.

Every company has its own culture, so there’s no one size fits all approach that says that such-and-such is the most ideal company culture. Some companies value fun, some value openness, some value trust; to each their own. What’s important is that you find a company culture that fits you — what works for you doesn’t necessarily work for others. And don’t mistake company culture as being solely a matter of work-life balance; it’s also how the company communicates with and treats their employees, how they value your work, and even how willing they are to give-take in any given discussion or situation. If it isn’t right for you, you’ll know it because the company cultures will not resonate with your personal values and beliefs. And it will show in your job satisfaction. So the question is — what do you stand for?

And people wonder why company culture is so difficult to understand, much less measure/change... Interested to see 'People' on the surface. There's an argument to say the whole iceberg is made of people, above and below the surface. No people, no culture. This is one of the reasons why I was drawn to working with the Performance Climate Systems - Worldwide tool in my team coaching practice. PCS measures climate - an evidence-based subset of culture which is MUCH easier to measure and change. Plus, it enables leaders to see the direct impact of their leadership on performance.

First define 'culture'? Then if no one sees them (things) how does anyone know about them...and therefore forget about them. Also this metaphor/image is as old as the stone age. Does vision statement, mission, results stay below the surface? what does defines the waterline and why? Who's perspective should this be looked at? Does this metaphor infer that enjoyment is better or worse than purpose, core or more superficial? I guess what I am saying here is that its a metaphor often used in business and I am not sure how useful it is. Then I think it is classic LI marcom, click bait. Ho hum.

Culture and engagement are choices that require prioritization at the same level as organizational deliverables.
