Description
Content

A united culture is important for business success and for the wellbeing of the workforce. A toxic culture can manifest in various ways, from autocratic management that plays lip service to organisational values, through to industrial disputes. Engendering a culture that is united towards the achievements of organisational aims, living and breathing its values, requires time and effort but brings great rewards. The flavour of this ebook is to offer practical steps to achieve a united culture from the senior management team to all members of the workforce. It is based on the authors’ experiences and knowledge of Human Resources at a senior level and how organisations work.
