Culture Development

The Importance of
Culture Development

 

In today’s business environment, economic conditions are forcing companies to downsize and develop non-traditional business approaches to their go-to-market strategies. However, one key factor remains the same: All companies are only as good as their established culture.

 

Corporate culture is the underpinning of all organizations and one of the determining factors around the level of success that a company will achieve. Currently, four primary groups make up the overall workforce:

Traditionalists (pre-1946):     7%
Baby Boomer (1946-1965):   49%
Generation X (1966-1977):   30%
Millennium (1978 and later): 15%

There are significant differences in work ethic and motivators among these four groups. Successful corporations must understand and embrace these differences and implement strategies that meet the needs of these diverse employee groups. 

 

Organizations that can communicate clearly defined direction around their culture—which includes their company’s mission, vision, values, and core guiding principles—will approach the marketplace with a competitive advantage.
