Organisational Culture Surveys

Your corporate culture can contribute to or detract from the success of your organisation. Senior management usually has a vision of the type of culture needed to compete successfully in the competitive marketplace. However what management believes to be the culture and the realities of the workplace can be quite different. Different visions can be successful in different organisations however, there are certain cultural elements that will be detrimental to the success of any organisation if they exist. These include, poor rewards/recognition programs, safety/security issues, lack of career growth, and low job commitment and satisfaction of employees to name just a few.
A corporate culture survey is a great way to take a current ‘snapshot’ of an organisation's culture. It is especially relevant to measure this when there is a suspicion that the culture is out of sync with management's desired culture, when the organisation is going through a time of change or when there are high levels of turnover in one or more of the organisation’s departments.

Lixivium works with managers and supervisors to identify strategies and plans aimed to provide a supportive environment enabling a less disruptive change process.
