The ‘Shut the Culture Up’ series continues today with this third instalment which builds upon the previous two episodes. Having established the importance of culture and followed the steps from last week’s episode in determining your company’s culture, today Maria and Michelle’s lively discussion will outline for you what exactly you need to do next.

Toward this end, they explore the very practical steps necessary to act upon the information uncovered when surveying employees about the state of culture within the organization. For each of these steps, they offer insights and examples which help to clarify them all fully. While each organization is different and will naturally require some variation, these steps provide straightforward and clear direction for those involved in the critical and highly beneficial task of improving company culture.
