Organisational culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, habits, attitudes, and behaviours that form within an organisation. Culture is the social and psychological environment within an organisation that shapes how people interact with each other, approach their work, and perceive the organisation’s identity. Organisational culture influences the way employees think, feel, and act, and it plays a crucial role in shaping the organisation’s overall performance.
Workplace culture is key to high staff engagement and effective performance. When an organisation, or a particular team or department, encounters cultural difficulties, an independent workplace culture review is a very effective way to objectively identify and assess where the issues lie.
An organisational culture review can be beneficial under various circumstances. Here are some situations when you might want to consider a culture review:
Employee Engagement Surveys: Periodic employee engagement surveys can highlight areas where the organisational culture might need improvement. Concerning low scores in certain areas of the organisation or survey responses may indicate the need for a more in-depth culture insight.
Poor Performance or Low Morale: If the organisation is experiencing issues such as low employee morale, high turnover rates, or a decline in performance, it may be a sign that the current culture is not conducive to productivity and employee engagement. A culture review can help understand reasons for this as well as identify areas for improvement.
Leadership Change: When there is a change in leadership, it may be an opportune time to review and potentially redefine the organisational culture. New leaders may have different values and approaches, and aligning the culture with their vision can contribute to a smooth transition.
Organisational Growth: During periods of growth, it’s essential to ensure that the organisational culture adapts and remains consistent with the organisational values.
Organisational Change: When organisations merge or undergo significant changes, understanding and aligning the cultures of the merging entities is crucial for a smooth integration. Understanding the existing cultures and identifying potential cultural clashes can help in planning for a successful transition.
Transformation Initiatives: Organisations undergoing significant innovation or transformation often need a culture that supports change, creativity, and adaptability. A culture review can help ensure that the existing culture aligns with the goals of the transformation programme to help ensure implementation success.
In the initial phase of a culture review, we take time at the start to understand an organisation, in order to make recommendations for how a culture review will be undertaken to meet the need of a team, service or organisation. Together, we establish a mutually agreed review timeline and communication plan. Upon the conclusion of the review, a comprehensive written report and a verbal debrief will be provided, encompassing our findings and offering robust recommendations for organisational considerations.
The cost of a culture review will depend on the size and complexity of the review. To discuss a potential review and approximate costs please visit our Contact Us page to make contact with the ibex gale culture team.
At ibex gale, we monitor the quality of our culture reviews with:
– A supervision system, whereby a supervisor is assigned to all projects to support the team member(s) carrying out the work and monitor quality of service and delivery against timescales; and
– A peer review process whereby all outcome reports are reviewed by the nominated supervisor prior to release to the client to ensure that they meet our rigorous quality standards.
– We also obtain feedback from our clients on the quality of work that we have produced and their experience of working with us and use that feedback proactively to both benchmark the quality of the work that we produce and develop and enhance our service offering.
