Assessing Workplace Culture

Every organization has a culture.

When a group of individuals work together, they form habits for formal and informal work behaviors. Leaders (their policies, focus, and decisions) create habits, but so do interactions among any and all workers.

Individuals influence each other for many reasons – knowledge, personality, connections…

The people who help each other work more effectively and feel better about work seek each other out and pay attention to each other. They behave more similarly.

Behaviors that lead to good outcomes and avoid bad outcomes become more common and more expected.

Ideally, the culture is aligned with behavior standards that the organization needs to be successful and behavior standards that people want in the workplace, so the result is high performance and high engagement.

But sometimes the culture is not aligned with the right behaviors, and sometimes what used to be right is not anymore.
