Why Does an Organization Need to Establish Value Alignment Through Culture Engineering?
Your company’s culture is its heartbeat– the unseen, underlying current built from the values, beliefs, and behaviors that determine how your organization will perform and interact with others– both inside and outside the workplace. A well-nurtured culture develops employees' trust and constantly reinforces that they matter.
- Creates an engaged, enthusiastic, and motivated workforce
- Clarifies overall company, position, and department goals
- Encourages teamwork and collaboration
“Culture is the tacit social order of an organization: It shapes attitudes and behaviors in wide-ranging and durable ways. Cultural norms define what is encouraged, discouraged, accepted, or rejected within a group. When properly aligned with personal values, drives, and needs, culture can unleash tremendous amounts of energy toward a shared purpose and foster an organization’s capacity to thrive.” ~Harvard Business Review
Define Your Purpose and Core Values
Core values refer to the beliefs, philosophies, and principles that guide your business on a day-to-day basis. They are a tool for shaping your business's direction and creating the intangible culture that defines your company.
They should be clear, concise, and actionable and formed by both the employees and management.
