When employees feel valued and their ideas are accepted, they get positively engaged with their work. Lastly, organizations driven by a purpose and clear objectives create the perfect environment for their employees to thrive. As a result, employees often want their organization to succeed as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E520\" class=\"qowt-li-1_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-4\"><span id=\"E521\">Decreased Turnover<\/span><span id=\"E522\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E525\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E526\">Employee<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/attrition\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=in-line&amp;utm_campaign=organizational-culture\"> turnover<\/a><\/strong> happens for a variety of reasons. Keeping salaries aside, employees are motivated to keep their jobs when connected to their workplace. A great way to create that connection is to focus on creating an inclusive and positive<\/span><span id=\"E527\"> company culture.<\/span><span id=\"E528\"> Such a culture reduces employee turnover. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E531\" class=\"qowt-li-1_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E532\">Brand Identity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E533\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E534\">A company\u2019s <\/span><span id=\"E535\">organizational culture<\/span><span id=\"E536\"> can often enhance its public image. For example, most people have heard how great companies like Google, Facebook treat their employees. People make assumptions about the company judging by their <\/span><span id=\"E537\">organizational culture.<\/span><span id=\"E538\"> Moreover, customers want to be associated with a company that has an excellent <\/span><span id=\"E539\">company culture<\/span><span id=\"E540\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"contentsContainer\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<div id=\"contents\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<h3 id=\"E543\" class=\"qowt-li-1_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E544\">Employee Transformation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E545\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E546\">Employees perform at their best when a positive business culture supports them.

Not only that, good performers know their worth and don&#8217;t like to work in a hostile work environment.

Companies need to slowly familiarize themselves with the practices and cultural norms of the company. Great company culture will always focus on effective onboarding their employees to have an easier time in a new workplace. Moreover, employees can start contributing from the get-go if they are given the proper training during the onboarding process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E559\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><a id=\"E560\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cameron-Diagnosing-Changing-Organizational-Culture\/dp\/B004ONWGME\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span id=\"E561\">Robert E.

Here are some characteristics of toxic company culture: <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E641\" class=\"qowt-li-4_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E642\">Incessant Gossiping<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E643\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E644\">When there\u2019s a lack of communication in the organization, people try to fill in the gaps by using their best guesses. This leads to a lot of gossiping, which might derail your efforts and cause harm to the<\/span><span id=\"E645\"> organizational culture. <\/span><span id=\"E646\">For example, people might make judgments about other people based on false rumors, leading to friction and weakened interpersonal relationships. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E649\" class=\"qowt-li-4_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E650\">Absenteeism and Turnover<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E651\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E652\">There\u2019s no dearth of opportunity for talented and hardworking people anymore. People prefer to work in a positive work environment. So, if you see a significant turnover, toxic company culture could be the reason for it. Moreover, absenteeism usually precedes turnover. When you see frequent absenteeism amongst your employees, you should take action before it turns into a turnover. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E655\" class=\"qowt-li-4_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E656\">No Risk-Taking<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E657\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E658\">No risk-taking is one of the most important characteristics of toxic<\/span><span id=\"E659\"> work culture. <\/span><span id=\"E660\">Leaders that punish or reprimand employees when things don&#8217;t pan out create an<\/span><span id=\"E661\"> organizational culture <\/span><span id=\"E662\">where employees are afraid to pursue their ideas. This impedes innovation and leads to stagnancy. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E665\" class=\"qowt-li-4_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E666\">Emphasis on Corporate Hierarchies and Traditional Norms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E667\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E668\">To maintain stability and control in the organization, many organizations go overboard on hierarchies, rules, and policies. Leaders exert power through authority. A short-term solution like this has long-term negative consequences. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"contentsContainer\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<div id=\"contents\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<h3 id=\"E671\" class=\"x-scope qowt-li-4_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E672\">Negative Energy or a Lack Thereof<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E673\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E674\">A <\/span><span id=\"E675\">work culture <\/span><span id=\"E676\">that sucks the energy right out of the employees is toxic. The lack of energy in the organization results in inefficiency and hinders innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E679\" class=\"qowt-li-4_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E680\">Micromanagement<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E681\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E682\">Leaders who think that only they have the acumen and skills to take the company forward start micromanaging things. Delegation is essential for an organization to thrive. Leaders need to have faith in their employees. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E685\" class=\"qowt-li-4_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E686\">No Pushback From Employees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E687\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E688\">A healthy work environment promotes dissent up to a level. It is healthy for superiors and subordinates to debate on decisions, policies, and otherwise. In a toxic <\/span><span id=\"E689\">work culture<\/span><span id=\"E690\">, employees do not show dissent against the management, which can have disastrous effects. Even a decision that looks bad on its face would remain unchallenged and cause harm to the company. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"E693\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E694\">Actionable Changes to Tackle Toxic Company Culture <\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"E695\" class=\"qowt-li-2_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-2\"><span id=\"E696\">Understand the Toxic Culture<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E697\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E698\">You must find out what&#8217;s working and what\u2019s not. Here are some things to understand before you start taking action:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"E699\" class=\"qowt-li-6_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-6\"><span id=\"E700\">Figure out what toxic cultures are present in the company (gossiping, no risk-taking, etc.). <\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E701\" class=\"qowt-li-6_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-6\"><span id=\"E702\">What is bringing toxicity into the workplace? <\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E703\" class=\"qowt-li-6_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-6\"><span id=\"E704\">Leadership gaps. <\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E705\" class=\"qowt-li-6_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-6\"><span id=\"E706\">Is everyone being treated fairly? <\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E707\" class=\"qowt-li-6_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-6\"><span id=\"E708\">Are there any impediments to employees in terms of their growth and advancement?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span id=\"E714\">Change the System<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E715\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E716\">You can do many immediate things to assure employees that you will not tolerate toxic work culture. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E719\" class=\"qowt-li-3_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-6\"><span id=\"E720\">Fire problematic people even if they are top performers. People that embody the toxic culture of a company will not let you change things. Moreover, firing these people sends the message that you have no tolerance for toxicity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E721\" class=\"qowt-li-3_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-6\"><span id=\"E722\">Change the traditional symbols of toxicity. For example, if your organization was keen on following hierarchies and company policies strictly, change that. You can start an open-office policy where employees can talk to senior-level managers directly. Get rid of old habits and start afresh. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E725\" class=\"qowt-li-7_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-4\"><span id=\"E726\">Actively Communicate and Encourage Employees <\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"contentsContainer\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<div id=\"contents\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<p id=\"E727\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1 x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E728\">Effective communication is the key to tackling toxic work culture. You need to actively promote the organization\u2019s goals and shortcomings and invite employees to share their apprehensions. To hear feedback from employees, you can do a company-wide survey. Moreover, don\u2019t keep important information from employees. They know when something is up. If they don\u2019t hear it from you, they will try and guess things, leading to constant gossiping. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E731\" class=\"qowt-li-7_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-4\"><span id=\"E732\">Encourage Disagreement and Dissent<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E733\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E734\">To have meaningful dialogue, you need to encourage disagreement and dissent in the organization. An employee will not be disagreeable unless he has solid grounds. Employees know and understand the work they do and can have great inputs on decision-making. They could save you from making a bad decision. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E737\" class=\"qowt-li-7_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-4\"><span id=\"E738\">Back Your Employees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E739\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E740\">Organizations need their employees to pursue their ideas. Employees that fear leaders will not take the initiative. When leaders punish employees for pursuing their ideas, it sets a bad example. Therefore, you need to back your employees through thick and thin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E743\" class=\"qowt-li-7_0 qowt-list x-scope qowt-word-para-4\"><span id=\"E744\">Empower Your Mid-Level Manager<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E745\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E746\">The mid-level managers know and understand the employees that work underneath them. You should empower them to communicate with their teams and involve them in decision-making. Moreover, do not micromanage things and trust your managers to do their job well. <\/span><span id=\"E747\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"E750\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E751\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"E752\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E753\">Organizational culture<\/span><span id=\"E754\"> is the key for businesses. If they want to survive and thrive in a dynamic and competitive world, they have to make their culture healthy and inclusive. Different organizations need a different approach to creating a healthy work environment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=organizational-culture&amp;utm_content=final\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-196909 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Simplified-Leave-Tracking-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"785\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Simplified-Leave-Tracking-1.png 785w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Simplified-Leave-Tracking-1-300x49.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Simplified-Leave-Tracking-1-768x125.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Simplified-Leave-Tracking-1-100x16.png 100w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Simplified-Leave-Tracking-1-700x114.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"contentsContainer\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To survive and thrive in a dynamic and competitive world, organizations have to make their organizational culture healthy and inclusive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":197223,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-197384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-employee-engagement","category-hr-best-practices"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is Your Organizational Culture Healthy and Inclusive?
