Workplace culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, behaviors, and practices that characterize an organization and influence the environment in which employees work. It encompasses the social and psychological atmosphere of a workplace, shaped by the company’s mission, vision, and the interactions among employees, management, and stakeholders. Factors contributing to workplace culture include communication styles, management practices, employee engagement, work-life balance, diversity, and inclusion.
A positive workplace culture fosters collaboration, innovation, and job satisfaction, while a negative culture can lead to dissatisfaction, high turnover, and decreased productivity. It is often reflected in the organization’s policies, procedures, and the overall experience of employees.
