Expert Insights to Boost Your Performance
Welcome to the latest edition of the OKR Times by JOP (Joy of Performing)
At JOP, we help you perform better and achieve your key business goals by overcoming organizational challenges.
Today, we talk about organizational culture and how it helps businesses grow and thrive.
Culture, in simple terms, is the personality of a company that defines how things get done, how people interact, and how they feel about their work.
Did you know?
According to Gartner, only 31% of HR leaders think they have the right ingredients of culture to drive performance.
Most of us assume it is the manager's responsibility to build a thriving culture. But the truth is, we all share it equally.
Poor culture results in high employee turnover rates, low morale, and a toxic work environment. This is crucial because it shapes your thinking and behavior, influencing your productivity, engagement, and overall job satisfaction.
Organizational culture cannot be set and forgotten - it requires constant efforts. As the business grows, the culture must adapt to changing circumstances to remain effective.
Now, fixing a negative culture is not a simple job. It needs patience, perseverance, and commitment from everyone - and it all starts with the company's vision, mission, and goals.
Leaders should aspire to build a mission-driven culture to enable a sense of purpose for individuals and teams. This helps them align with each other and the business.
OKRs is a proven framework that brings alignment within an organization, so every individual is aware of how to contribute to the overall organization's success.

5 ways to improve communication and Collaboration in the Workplace
Effective communication is crucial to empower company culture.
According to Zippia, 86% of leaders in the workplace cite ‘Lack of Collaboration’ as the top reason for organizational failures.
Here are our top 5 suggestions on how to effectively build a collaborative workplace
1. Have a clear agenda before you begin a conversation or meeting. This helps the team to stay on point, make effective suggestions, and achieve their goals.
2. Encourage your people to listen more and talk less. Spend time focusing on the missions and problem-solving rather than proving your points.
3. Mentor and train people to communicate and collaborate better. Guide your team to engage in fruitful discussions and follow the best practices.
4. Facilitate honest and open communication. When people share their true thoughts, they are more engaged at work and provide innovative solutions.
5. Strengthen team alignment via shared goals. This will enable people to have better cross-team collaboration.
