Cultural Alignment

Balancing Work Cultures

When work cultures are balanced, which means that each person’s uniqueness is respected and drawn upon to enrich the composition of the group, the organization is stronger and more able to meet the agility required in today’s marketplace. In turn, employees feel more valued and satisfied with their team contributions.

The Need

People are unique just as cultures are unique. Because people embrace the values and the orientations of their own culture, their differences can create an environment of mistrust or misunderstanding. If the causes of conflict are not understood or managed, culturally diverse work environments can become a war zone.

The misunderstanding of each other’s methods and motives disrupts organizational harmony and results in production blocks.
