Changing Culture – Changing Rewards

Posted on Apr 26, 2006 in Culture, How We See It Blog by Jeffrey Summers 0 Comments

An organization’s culture can be defined as “What it’s like to work around here.” Its dimensions include the following:

• What the organization expects from its people and how it communicates those expectations.
• How the organization does its work?
• Whether there are major class distinctions between employee groups (e.g. management vs. line employees) or if the work environment is more egalitarian.
• How and by whom decisions are made.
• How work is organized-by functions, business lines or customers.
• The level of employee involvement and to what degree employees are encouraged to take risks.
• Whether employees are encouraged to compete with one another or to support one another.
• The meaning of success in the organization.
