Workplace Culture

Workplace culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, behaviors, and norms that shape the environment and social dynamics within an organization. It encompasses the attitudes and practices that characterize the way employees interact with each other, management, and the organization as a whole. Workplace culture influences how employees engage with their tasks, collaborate with colleagues, and approach problem-solving. It can be seen in aspects such as the level of formality, communication styles, work-life balance, and recognition of employee contributions. A positive workplace culture often promotes employee satisfaction, productivity, and retention, while a negative culture can lead to low morale, high turnover, and decreased performance. The culture is often established by leadership but can evolve through the collective experiences and interactions of employees.
