Organizational culture affects all aspects of your business, from punctuality and
tone to contract terms and employee benefits. When workplace culture aligns with your
employees, they’re more likely to feel more comfortable, supported, and valued.
Companies that prioritize culture can also weather difficult times and changes in the
business environment and come out stronger.

amongst themselves as well as with people outside the organization
• Organizational success and culture go hand in hand. They are inseparable.
• The culture decides the way employees interact at their workplace.

which makes it distinct from others.

a sense of purpose through meaningful work taking place in the context of community.
Organizations with a spiritual culture recognize that people have a mind and a spirit, seek
to find meaning and purpose in their work, and desire to connect with other human beings
and be part of a community.
