What is Organizational Culture?
The collective set of values, beliefs, behaviors, and norms that define how people work, communicate, and collaborate within an organization. Unlike formal elements like mission statements or policies, culture is shaped organically through everyday interactions and decisions. It influences employee engagement, teamwork, leadership style, and overall workplace atmosphere, ultimately impacting retention, innovation, and business performance.
A strong, healthy culture promotes alignment, motivation, and shared purpose, while a toxic one can lead to disengagement, high turnover, and reputational damage.
