Culture

In HR, “culture” refers to the shared values, beliefs, behaviors, and practices that characterize an organization. It encompasses the atmosphere and environment within the workplace, influencing how employees interact, make decisions, and perceive their roles. Organizational culture shapes employee engagement, motivation, and retention, as well as impacts overall performance and productivity. It can be seen in company policies, communication styles, and the collective attitudes toward innovation, teamwork, and diversity. Ultimately, a strong and positive organizational culture aligns with the company’s mission and goals, fostering an environment where employees feel valued and empowered. Understanding and actively managing organizational culture is integral to creating a conducive workplace that attracts and retains talent.
