What should you do if current employees don’t accept or fit into a new company culture? If you lead an organization that is trying to redefine your company culture, your first order of business is to answer the question: What do you want your organization to stand for in the marketplace? Redefining company culture starts with a clear identity. Values, behaviors, leadership style, and decision-making all flow from this core question. If an organization can define?who?it wants to be, it can build a culture that aligns with that vision, attracts the right talent, and sustains long-term success. What do you do if an employee doesn’t align or refuses to behave within the new culture framework? 1. Communicate the “why”: Sometimes resistance comes from misunderstanding or fear of change. 2. Provide support: If the employee is high-performing or in a high-valued role, offer coaching, training, or mentoring to help them align with the new values and behaviors. 3. Assess the impact: Is it temporary or fundamental? If the employee’s values and behaviors fundamentally conflict with the new culture, it is time for an honest conversation about their fit in the organization. 4. Make the tough call: When alignment is impossible or is disruptive to the team or the company’s growth, a graceful exit may be the best path forward for all.
