Healthy work culture is an essential parameter of your organisation's success.?
Typically speaking, work culture is a set of beliefs, values and ideologies that an organisation has in place to ensure smooth functioning and higher productivity.
But how do you make sure that everyone in the company is on the same page when it comes to implementing the work culture?
I believe in keeping it simple and precise. In all the organisations that I have worked with, I have admired the good practices and detested the unhealthy ones.
When I was working on defining the work culture at TBC, I took cues from those experiences and avoided the mistakes made by them.
Here are the 5 pillars of work culture that I have established at TBC -
??Defining the company's communication policies and keeping it uniform. This avoids miscommunication throughout the hierarchy which in turn avoids conflicts.?

?? Appraisal on performance, not on employees bonding with the Top management. Flattery in any form does not lead to monetary benefits at TBC. We are driven by performance and anyone who works hard is rewarded despite whatever equation he/she has with the senior level management.
?? I am a strong advocate of team building activities for they forge a spirit of togetherness among the team which in turn is reflected in higher productivity. An employee needs to feel valued and be an integral part of the organisation and team building activities are important for mental rejuvenation.
?? Internal politics is not appreciated or encouraged. While we are open to suggestions and opinions, we do not allow?negative environment that hampers organisational growth and sets a bad example for new entrants.
?? Most importantly, loyalty for the organisation one is working for is supreme.?
When the uniform values and?ethics permeates across the organisation, the employees feel motivated and productivity scales higher.?
Isn't that what we all aspire for?

2 年I agree with your thoughts, Culture is extremely important for every organisation. People first culture encourages empowerment within an organization across all levels. It depends whether you use a Top down or Bottom up approach. Diversity, Equity, Equality and Inclusion are few other key areas of a strong Organization culture. Equity and Equality are both different things, depends on how one wants to take their organisation forward or build the organisation culture. Recognition that too timely recognition is also very critical to foster a healthy culture. Rewards and incentives play an important role too as employees feel appreciated and valued. Applying a 360 degree feedback mechanism or consistently seeking feedback for improvement also helps build a great organization culture. It all starts with the leadership focus and being consistent all throughout in terms of action and communication at all levels. It also encourages innovation and best practices. Culture most importantly should be aligned with your company's mission, vision, goals, objective and purpose. Employee wellness is another area that organisations need to focus on.
