How important is company culture to business success?  

According to Randstad's Work Watch survey of over 1,000 working U.S. adults, sixty-six percent of working adults believe that company culture is very important to the success of their organizations. The survey also found that employees believe company culture has the greatest impact on employee morale (35 percent), followed by productivity (22 percent). Twenty-three percent of younger workers, ages 18 to 34, say it plays the biggest role in building job satisfaction.  - Winning Workplaces   Among the many ways companies are  looking to increase their productivity and drive overall performance improvements, our sustainability consulting finds a few common characteristics among business sustainability leaders paving the way through innovation, leadership and creating meaningful work.   How so?   Innovation: While an open innovation approach to business sustainability offers stakeholders the opportunity to become engaged in the future of a business, it also recognizes that all key stakeholders have a vested interest in the success of the company.  It creates openness to new ideas that promote business success.   Leadership:  Successful leadership practices recognize that communication and active learning are key success factors in the pursuit of business sustainability and promoting company culture.   In addition to executive management playing a critical role in the success of a company, business sustainability requires leadership across the entire organization.  While management may ultimately carry the responsibility of sustainable business results, employees have a part to play in the definition and implementation of the company’s business sustainability programs and company culture.  Click here to read more about business sustainability as a tool to jump start business improvements.
