Culture of Care Assessments
What is a Culture of Care?
Culture is a social construct. Organizational culture is a combination of the values, standards, behaviors, and attitudes of its members. The people in an organization are either creating a culture of care, where all individuals are valued and excellent performance at all levels is supported, or a culture where individuals spread negativity and distrust. While organizational culture might not be a topic of everyday discussion, chances are you could describe the culture of your organization. Observations of the way people interact and the attitudes they possess say a great deal about the health of the organization and the culture.
