Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an organizational culture and why is it important?
Organizational culture is the “personality” of an organization – a set of common rules of conduct that shape our daily behavior at work. This is how an organization is accepted to act.
The results of various studies show that organizations with a strong organizational culture achieve 20-30% better business results than organizations operating in the same business area without a strong organizational culture.
Features of a strong organizational culture:
– supports the company’s strategy;
– there are clearly defined values;
– values are upheld by most employees in the organization.
What are values?
Values are a set of essential, consistent, long-term principles and rules that govern the work behavior, relationships, and decision-making of members of an organization.
Values are not just loud words. It is a part of the organization’s strategy.
Values do not define WHAT, but HOW we work.
Why are values important?
Values help us – everyone individually, as a team and as a company – to make the right decisions every day, to have a clear direction and to achieve results.
Values help to find the right path and solution, when there are no clear goals or work procedures, as well as when the situation is unclear or rapidly changing.
Who in the organization is responsible for the values, their implementation and maintenance?
It would be a mistake to think that the values of an organization are only the responsibility of top managers or specific departments (e.g., personnel, communications). Together, we contribute to the implementation and strengthening of the organizational culture.
All employees of the organization should talk about values, follow them, set a good example, and observe the behavior of colleagues who support or do not support the values.
Is it enough to just know the values of the organization?
Values must be “alive” in the organization. In other words, it doesn’t just have to be beautifully worded and written down words that everyone knows. It is vital that values become real work principles and behaviors that guide most employees in an organization.
From knowing to guiding values, there are the following steps:
I know values, I understand them, I accept them, I apply them, I live by values.
When should values be followed at work?
Always. Values are especially important when there are no clear procedures to solve the current situation or problem.
Can organizational values be considered as the work principles?
Values = working principles.
Do newcomers need to be introduced to the values of the organization?
The organization is constantly changing, new people are joining it. In order to maintain a well-established organizational culture and agreed essential work principles (values), we need to talk about them constantly with all members of the organization.
The values of the organization must be introduced to new employees as early as possible.
