Course Description

Beyond the immediate impact on performance, a healthy organizational culture serves as a magnet for top talent. In a competitive job market, prospective employees are increasingly seeking out organizations with positive and empowering cultures. By proactively managing and nurturing your culture, you will attract and retain top performers, creating a virtuous cycle of talent acquisition and development.

In this course, you will gain practical strategies and actionable insights to manage, remediate, and empower leaders to create a thriving organizational culture. You will learn how to align culture with strategic objectives, establish effective communication channels, and build a culture of trust and accountability. Through case studies, interactive exercises, and real-world examples, you will develop the skills necessary to drive cultural change and foster a positive work environment.

So, what exactly makes a culture healthy or unhealthy? And how can you sustain the healthy elements while pruning the unhealthy aspects? Furthermore, is there a correlation between a healthy culture and high-performance, and an unhealthy culture and low-performance? These questions, among many others, will be explored in our comprehensive course on organizational culture management.

In today’s fast-paced and highly competitive business landscape, organizational culture has emerged as a critical factor in the success of companies. Unfortunately, it is often misunderstood and overlooked, with many mistakenly equating it solely to the superficial perks and benefits offered to employees. However, organizational culture is far more profound and influential than foosball tables and massage chairs. It permeates every aspect of an organization, from employee engagement and morale to productivity and talent retention.

Throughout this transformative course, you will delve into the multifaceted nature of organizational culture. You will learn how to accurately define and assess the existing culture within your organization, identifying both its strengths and weaknesses. By understanding the various elements that contribute to a healthy culture, you will be equipped to cultivate an environment that fosters employee engagement, morale, and productivity.

Recognizing the pivotal role that organizational culture plays in the overall health and performance of a company is paramount for leaders. But who bears the responsibility for shaping and maintaining a healthy culture? While leaders undoubtedly set the cultural tone for the organization, it is important to acknowledge that there can be disconnects at different levels of leadership. This course aims to empower leaders with the knowledge and tools to understand that a healthy culture is their collective responsibility.

Furthermore, this course will shed light on the detrimental effects of an unhealthy culture. You will explore the factors that can lead to toxicity within an organization, such as lack of communication, distrust, and resistance to change. Armed with this knowledge, you will gain the expertise to identify and address these issues head-on, transforming your culture into one that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity.

The course will also unravel the correlation between a healthy organizational culture and high-performance. When employees feel valued, supported, and aligned with the company’s mission and values, they are more likely to be motivated and committed to achieving exceptional results. On the other hand, an unhealthy culture characterized by micromanagement, internal politics, and lack of transparency can significantly hinder performance and erode employee satisfaction.

You have to understand what a healthy Organizational Culture before you can influence change. The course explained what Organizational Culture is, gave models, and explained the “why”. I loved it!

This course is probably the most important one in the ASCEND program. without good culture, an organization will die a slow, failing death.

Very good points on how you can impact organizational culture no matter what level you are in the organization. Great take-away : YOU can create a sub-culture within your team. There is no reason for you to not add to good culture. People shape the culture.

Really enjoyed the 5 R’s portion, as well as the differentiation between top down and bottom up cultures.
