Leading organisations are defined by their culture. Their members have a set of shared implicit and explicit understandings of ‘the way we do business around here’. An organisation’s culture determines how they perform and sustain that performance.

Values are deeply held within individuals and organisations and are evident in the way they govern behaviour. They are an individual’s or organisation’s core ideals and beliefs – the principles that they consider intrinsically important and that serve as a frame of reference for decision-making and a guideline for behaviours.

Research has shown that employees are more influenced by organisational culture and the strength of the match between individual and organisational values, rather than remuneration, when deciding to join or leave.

The development and enhancement of organisational values must be supported by behavioural examples that are understood and exemplified across all levels of the organisation. Without these, values have no true meaning and become words on a glossy plaque or booklet.

Closework Consulting can audit your current culture and values and assist in developing a culture that enhances staff and creates sustainable business success. We can identify the key variables that drive culture and behaviours and from there plan a path of change that delivers real, measurable and sustainable results.
