As a Certified Organizational Culture specialist, I am being asked a lot of questions about organizational culture since the COVID-19 Pandemic broke out. Here are some examples of the questions that are emerging:
– How do we maintain our culture with everyone working from home?
– Our culture had problems before the Pandemic – is this a good time to try to fix it now that people are working from home?
– We may continue to work from home permanently. How do we build a new culture with everyone working remotely?
– We’ve been working from home since March. What is our culture now?
– Even our board’s culture has changed – and not for the better. What can we do about that?
Is culture on your mind? Have you been so focused on other critical elements of your business during this Pandemic that you have been avoiding dealing with culture?
Culture is key to your organization’s performance. If you’ve been procrastinating about your organization’s culture, don’t wait any longer.
