What To Do
What Are The First Signs Your Culture Isn’t Working?
The impact of a disfunctional or misaligned culture can be far-reaching and the causes complex. The symptoms of poor organisational culture can be seen in a number of KPIs – employee engagement, financial performance, customer service scores, feedback, complaints, employee turnover and absenteeism. The challenge is to identify what’s going on and why and then to prioritise what needs to be addressed.
Culture effects employee engagement
Culture is a living breathing organism made up of diverse and unique human beings. It is built on values and behaviours and is supported by leaders, systems and processes that become part of the DNA of an organisation, the ways things are done.
Culture must be aligned to the organisation’s purpose, vision and strategy.
With multi-generational workforces, hybrid, remote and matrix teamworking, the need to create inclusive cultures, the need to engage and upskill employees, culture is not an easy thing to build, create or fix.

This system draws from Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, expanding the topmost level into seven distinct bands of consciousness, each representing a stage of human and organisational development.
