In other words, it is the &#8220;DNA&#8221; of your company, the way things are done in your organization. Culture not only influences the work environment, but also the <b>productivity<\/b>, <b>motivation<\/b> and <b>commitment<\/b> of employees.  <\/span><\/p> <h2><b>Why is organizational culture important?<\/b><\/h2> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A strong, positive organizational culture can be the driving force behind a company&#8217;s success. If employees feel that they are working in an environment where the same principles and objectives are valued, the company&#8217;s   <\/span><b>cohesion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>efficiency<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  increase considerably. In addition, the culture of a company influences how it is   <\/span><b>communicates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> y <\/span><b>solves problems<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which directly impacts the customer experience and, therefore, profitability.<\/span><\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>appropriate organizational culture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  also helps to attract and retain talent. People who share the same values as the company tend to feel more satisfied and committed to their work. <\/span><\/p> <h2><b>How to define the organizational culture of your company?<\/b><\/h2> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Defining organizational culture may seem complicated, but with clarity and the right approach, you can do it successfully. Here are some key steps to creating a strong organizational culture: <\/span><\/p> <h3><b>1.

Leaders are responsible for shaping and reinforcing the organizational culture through their daily actions and decisions. If leaders do not practice what they preach, the culture will not be authentic and will not have an impact.  <\/span><\/p> <h3><b>3. Clear and continuous communication<\/b><\/h3> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A successful organizational culture is based on <\/span><b>constant and open communication<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Employees should know what the company&#8217;s mission, vision and values are, and how these are reflected in their daily work. Use meetings, talks, newsletters and other means to convey this information and keep it alive. <\/span><\/p> <h3><b>4. Encourages teamwork<\/b><\/h3> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The organizational culture should promote teamwork <\/span><b>teamwork<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  and collaboration among employees.

Conduct satisfaction surveys and solicit feedback from employees to learn which aspects of the culture are working and which need adjustment. <\/span><\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <h2><b>Example of a successful organizational culture<\/b><\/h2> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good example of <\/span><b>successful organizational<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> culture is <\/span><b>Google<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
