No two organizations are the same. Each one has its own distinctive organizational culture: the rules, both written and unwritten, that govern how employees interact and how they do their jobs. Frontline managers play an important role in maintaining their organization's culture. It's up to them to make sure the people they supervise are aware of the values, norms, and customs that define their workplace. This course is designed to help new managers understand and adapt to the culture of their workplace. Topics include the difference between culture and organizational climate; the relationship between communication and culture; the importance of leadership; the role of frontline managers within the culture; and how to recognize and address a toxic workplace culture.
