Workshop: The Anatomy of Culture: Building Organizational Culture from the Inside Out
September 8, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Center for Nonprofit Excellence Members: Free
Non-members: $50
Today’s rapidly changing work environments make it difficult for organizations to develop and retain their best staff. A strong, positive company culture increases employee loyalty and engagement, promotes better collaboration and better performance, and keeps morale high. This all begins with understanding how organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with each other, with clients, and with other stakeholders. Also, the link between organizational culture and how employees identify with their purpose and value.
This training illuminates the difference between organizational culture and climate, and how you can enhance both. It looks at culture as a living breathing organism that emerges from the social, physical, and psychological environment within your organization and breaks down the components of each of these areas.
Participants will
- learn to identify culture and climate within your organization, and how workplace climate can permeate and affect organizational culture
- understand, foundationally, what is needed to build strong company culture
- examine what challenges positive culture today
- explore the steps necessary to build resiliency, once a solid organizational culture is in place
