Creating a Healthy Organizational Culture

An effective organizational culture helps every member. A healthy organizational culture gives members more freedom to express their own innovative ideas. Defined goals can also be reached more easily by creating a healthy organizational culture. In order to accomplish this, however, one must have a clear concept of what constitutes a healthy organizational culture. The performance of a worker depends upon his desire to excel, which in a healthy organizational culture is encouraged.   A healthy organizational culture is one that maximizes the ability of employees to contribute their own innovative and creative ideas. Consider following factors: * Is management shaping a culture that promotes creativity? * Is the organization resilient and adaptable? * Are members' contributions recognized and rewarded? * Are new ideas welcomed, or met with hostility? One of the best ways to introduce healthy culture in an organization is to invite members to tell stories of their past successes, and use these stories to generate new ideas. Every organization has a story that can inspire members to excel. Members should be inspired to work with the available means, and get the most out of limited resources.It is also important to define expectations and strategy clearly, so that each and every member knows exactly what his or her responsibilities are, and feels a sense of ownership over them. Any shifts in culture should be introduced gradually. Future steps should be taken only after judging the results of past efforts, and allowing members time to adjust. Employees of healthy organizations should feel that organizational achievements are their own, and take pride in success.
