“Changing the way we do things around here”
The challenge of organisational culture change to improve performance is difficult. It incorporates so many elements, many of which are deep rooted in history.
Positive culture change is about building a culture where respect, trust and commitment is present throughout the organisation – unfortunately where respect, trust and commitment have been tarnished organisations are challenged by:
- Staff not contributing ideas
- Employees only doing what is asked
- Majority of staff using up their sick pay
- A department having high staff turnover
- The atmosphere could be cut with a knife
- Poor cooperation between departments….the list of symptoms is endless!
The first phase of challenging organisational culture is to know what is happening. The “Amici Culture Tool” enables an organisation to measure it’s overall culture and that within departments and staff groupings. Using a 360 online questionnaire, and in depth capture of the culture enables an action plan for culture change to be developed. Amici can measure a small organisations culture and equally be used in an organisation with 15,000 + employees e.g. Local Authority.
