Culture is intangible, but it is very much real.

Culture can be defined as ‘how we do things around here’, but it can also be defined as ‘the worst behaviour we are willing to tolerate.

Culture is not ‘soft and fluffy’. The impact of culture can be measured in real terms, such as in employee engagement and productivity. It has been established that disengaged employees put a substantial burden on the organisation, costing you at estimated 1/3 of their salary, suggesting that culture is a very important part of your business.

Your culture is driven by your purpose and vision as a business. It gives people something to believe in and be committed to. But the culture of the organisation needs to be clear to and shared by all employees.

One of our directors, Harry Dunlevy, recently had a discussion with fellow associate and culture catalyst/culture change expert, Fiona Anderson, from My Change Expert, and valuing YOU. They focused on the topic of ‘Transforming your Culture’ with in a business setting.

The episode is split into two parts. In part one, they discuss how you can engage the executive team and get them thinking about how much your culture is costing you, and in part two they discuss how you can use your own resources to drive a highly productive culture.
