We’ve all heard the hype about organizational culture and how crucial it is in today’s war for talent and drive for success. If your organization is like most non-profits, you’re probably somewhere between “we know culture is important, how do we start” and “we don’t have the resources or time to focus on culture.” The truth is, whether you acknowledge it or not, your organization already has a culture that drives your way of working, as well as how your team interacts and communicates. Culture has shown to impact not only the engagement of employees and how they work, but also the perception of an organization from the outside, and overall donor satisfaction. Workplace culture impacts an organizations capacity for success.
In this session, you will learn some quick and easy tips that you can implement to improve your workplace culture, boost employee engagement and enhance your overall organization.
