About the company's work culture
A company's work culture tells you how the company operates. In other words, a company's work culture tells you about the ways of operating in the company. A good work culture promotes the commitment, motivation, productivity, job satisfaction and well-being of the company's people, while a bad work culture typically leads to dissatisfaction, high turnover and poor performance. I have visited hundreds of companies. When you walk through the door of a company and observe the activities in the company for a moment, this already gives you the first impression of what kind of work culture the company has.
When I visit companies, I have always asked: What kind of work culture do you have here in the company? The answers to this question have typically been very consistent, that we have a good work culture. When I have then asked: What does this mean in practice? The contents of the answers to this question have typically been very different depending on who I have asked. When I have next asked: Has the company drawn up written work culture rules according to which every person in the company must act? The typical answer has been that they are not needed. The justification has been that everyone in the company knows how to act in the company. I have not asked my questions further than this, because the answers I have already received have shown that the perceptions of the content of the company's work culture in practice are very different.
Every company should jointly draw up written rules for the company's work culture. In my opinion, the key questions that should be answered in the rules are, among others:
1. How is leadership implemented in the company?
2. How is communication implemented in the company?
3. How do people behave in the company and how do they not behave in the company?
4. How do people collaborate in the company?
5. How do people work in the company and how do people not work in the company?
6. How do people act in exceptional situations in the company?
7. How do people act in the company if the rules are broken?
Every company is unique and therefore every company should draw up individual rules for the work culture and train every person in the company to understand their content in practice.
Did the above things make you think?

I hope that you were interested in this matter and that you can continue to be involved.
I have written four books on creating the conditions for the company's financial management, and they are available in well-stocked bookstores and online bookstores in Finland, for example from BoD (Books On Demand) at:
