LESSON #3

ASSESSMENT:
1. Why does it matter that your organizational culture is one way rather than another
way?

The principles, traits, aspirations, and behaviors that direct and remind the
behavior of all team members that make your business what it is are referred to as
organizational culture. Organizational culture is hugely important to the success
and overall health of company, people, and customers. Hence, organizational
culture should be one way rather than another way because a great company
culture embodies positive features that contribute to increased efficiency, while a
negative company culture evokes characteristics that can undermine even the
most successful businesses. Also, it defines your company’s internal and external
identity, transform employees into advocates, helps you keep your best people,
transforms your company into a team, and of course, it impacts performance and
employee wellbeing,

2. How does culture transform your company into a team? Cite an example.

The company's culture has a huge effect on every part of its operations.
Employees are more likely to be relaxed, encouraged, and respected when the
working atmosphere is aligned with their needs. A successful organizational
culture puts the employees together and keeps them on the same page. When the
culture is well-defined, people from various backgrounds will unite around it for a
shared goal. The atmosphere in your company determines how people act and
collaborate, as well as how well they work as a team. Companies who place a
heavy dependence on culture will weather tough times and shifts in the business
world.

One example of it is the Salesforce of Marc Benioff, Salesforce is a


customer relationship management solution that brings customers and companies
together. It is one integrated CRM platform that gives all your departments —
including marketing, sales, commerce, and service — a single, shared view of
every customer. Salesforce recognizes organizational culture and has seen
phenomenal success over its history. Salesforce's founder and CEO, Marc
Benioff, developed humanitarian cultural standards that have led the organization
for over two decades. According to Fortune, this emphasis on meaning and
mission has made Salesforce one of the best places to work in America, and it
hasn't come at the expense of profits: Salesforce's stock price has risen at an
annual rate of over 26% on average since its founding.

3. How does a strong organizational culture help you keep your best people?

Employees who feel like they are part of a culture rather than a cog in a wheel are
more likely to stay at your firm, which should come as no surprise. That is, in
fact, what the majority of work applicants want in a business. If you ask a top-
performing organization who is responsible for their success, the response is
almost always the same: the people. It is because a workplace culture that
prioritizes people has a lot of appeal. It boosts employee motivation, gives them a
new experience, and makes them feel more connected. Hiring for cultural
compatibility is one way to draw top performers who are natural culture
champions.

4. Why are shared values important?


Shared values are collective ideals that are established by the
organization's leadership and then adopted by all of the organization's members.
When acting on behalf of the company, all members of the organization share and
uphold the principles. Core values are another term for them. Shared values are
important because these are the guiding principles for how an organization
operates. These strongly held values allow businesses to choose between the right
and wrong ways to work, as well as assisting workers in making important
decisions and career choices. These principles form the basis of a company's
community, which forms each employee's workday. It decides if workers like
their work, are invested in their business, and want to stay working.

5. How important is work ethics in the company and its employees?

Ethics affect how people lead their lives, for life is an unbroken stream of
decision-making and ethics are concerned with what is the right moral choice, for
individuals and for society. In a business, an ethical code is a defined set of
principles which guide an organization in its activities and decisions and the
firm’s philosophy may affect its productivity, reputation, and bottom line. Among
staff ethical behavior ensures work is completed with integrity and honesty and
staff that are ethical adhere to policies and rules while working to meet the aims
of the enterprise. An ethically positive, healthy work culture enhances morale
among employees.
The work ethic is now subverted in a broader, and readily marketed-top
society. This perspective has given us the phrase “work smart”. Those with a
strong work ethic have inculcated principles that guide them in their work
behavior. With the following statements, it is clearly beneficial for the company
and its employees for having a work ethics because Work Ethics leads the
company and its employees to consistent higher productivity, without any
prodding that many require to stay on track. Therefore, whether staff are naturally
this way or need be trained, if possible, into such an attitude is determined by the
managers.
