CULTURAL ASSESSMENT

Cultural assessments are utilised to discover the behaviours and values that define a company and its environment. Successful completion of these assessments enables a company to objectively view deep rooted behaviours and patterns relating to their existing culture; this is vital information for a leadership team that is looking to change or improve the culture within the business.

WHAT CAN YOU USE IT FOR?

The results of a cultural assessment can be used companywide or specifically within select teams, functions, regions, or different international locations. Ultimately, providing the business with an opportunity to fully understand their current cultural state, which will enable them to take control of their situation and prepare an action plan that leads them to their best desired cultural state.

WHAT IS A CULTURAL ASSESSMENT?

Change has a strange effect on people and when a company or business undergoes substantial changes, or plans to, it can cause a huge amount of turmoil in adapting your employees and team to those changes.

Culture influences performance at every level of a company. If you are experiencing a large number of employee resignations or teams performing lower than the usual standards, chances are, you would benefit from performing a cultural assessment.

A cultural assessment investigates, and identifies the existing culture of your company. It gives you a clear picture of what needs changing and what you are doing right from a cultural perceptive. They are used to determine human behaviours of your teams and what is governing performance.

UNDERSTAND YOUR CULTURE​

Depending on your company values, missions, and visions, you can require clarification on what the culture of your business may be, right now. There are four of types of cultures a corporation may have:

Clan Culture​

Focused on morale, these businesses are usually highly collaborative and focused on teamwork rather than hierarchy. Communication is usually open and effective, and employees are highly likely to be engaged in performance, meaning there is a good possibility for growth in the market.

Market Culture

The primary focus in businesses with this culture is profitability and results. Goals and targets are highly likely to be the status quo of the business and often, KPI’s will influence the expectations of performance. This type of culture usually attracts particularly competitive, pressure-absorbing and extremely hard-working individuals.

Hierarchy Culture
Known to be the traditionalists of corporate culture, with a clear chain of order and instruction these companies can be very predictable. The downsides can sometimes include; a typical dress code or unbending work hours. A flow of communication is communicated through levels of management and the objectives are clearly defined, leaving minimal space for indivduality.

Understanding your culture will turbocharge your recruitment and selection performance. You will attract people who identify with your company’s beliefs and values; people who will be far more likely to stay and perform to the expected standard.
