What is organisational culture?


Organisational culture is the DNA of your organisation. It defines how people behave, communicate, interact and how they perform in their jobs. It affects people's values, their beliefs about work and work roles.

Organisational culture has been defined variously by business leaders, management researchers, sociologists and psychologists.

At Blue Edge, we have spent many years researching and working with organisational culture. Culture exists at a number of levels, from 'artefact', tangible aspects of culture (e.g. policies, processes, symbols), through behaviours and values, right down to the deepest 'assumptions' that employees make about the organisation.

It is only when all levels are aligned and in tune with organisational goals that a 'high performance' culture can be created.
