Types of Corporate Culture (That You Must Know Before Applying Into a Certain Company)

When you are working in a corporate industry, you might already be familiar with the different types of corporate culture that are running within your company. What is corporate culture, by the way? It is the traditions, beliefs, and ideas that your company possesses and that is practiced by the employees. It affects the perception of the public as well as the satisfaction of an employee to his or her job. Usually, the industry of the company is a great influence to its corporate culture, but it is not always the case, as a corporate culture can still be altered, for no corporate culture is ever stable.

Entities with this type of culture prioritize its employees first through organizing frequent team outings, gathering helpful feedback, and even accommodating the employees’ families as well. They will create programs that are not only limited to the employees but are extended to the families of those employees. So, why would a company invest in their workforce that much? Why would they spend so much in satisfying their employees and making them happy? Because it is believed that a happy employee can make a happy customer. They can satisfy customers if they are happy enough with what they are doing right now. They can even recommend other people to work in the same company if they are really satisfied with the company’s provided incentives. They will have more energy and be constantly motivated in going to work, making them more productive. You may also see Vacation Greeting Card Examples.

2. The Athlete (Elite Corporate Culture)

The perfect definition of an elite corporate culture is a company that pushes through to make a great difference and to changes the world. A company with an elite corporate culture hires only the best because they are very particular in quality. They do not want employees who cannot easily cope up with their fast pace, and they do not want to drag someone just to keep up their pace. They are more on researching to develop novel ideas and are very innovative and daring. They aim for fast growth and big splashes in the market. Think, for example, Google.

Employees do whatever they can to achieve the goals of the company and to keep the customers happy even though they are just comprised of a small team. The titles of each of employees do not mean much because the employees usually have the collaborative effort for their work.

4. The Traditionalist (Conventional Corporate Culture)

Companies with the traditionalist culture already made it clear the hierarchies at work yet are still not established communicating to the employees.

The problem of less communication to its employees can be solved, thankfully, through the new technologies introduced in this era. Mails can be immediately sent, and there are other new forms of communication. A possible pitfall for this type of culture is that there is not enough room for experimentation, which can result in possible lack of inspiration to employees. A great way to answer that concern is to make the employees understand the long-term goals of the company as well as the short-term goals of the company.

1. Entities with conventional corporate culture possess these characteristics:
2. The company, through the upper management, is strict regarding the guidelines for each department and role.

5. The Nomad (Progressive Corporate Culture)

In this kind of corporate culture, there is a constant transition on the way the company holds its employees, the type of business it holds as an entity as well as the way it deals with the market regarding their demands. Employees often don’t know what to expect next, which is likely a trait of a transitional culture. Examples of change in the type of business are mergers and acquisitions. The transition to other types of business also means a shift to the company’s goals and mission statement and vision statement. This, in turn, will lead to employees questioning the company’s stability and may cause to spread rumors regarding the company. To answer these, the company itself must address those issues and constantly communicate with employees so they would stay longer in the company. Although change is sometimes scary since you are not assured what will happen to the company, this is also a form of risk that a company will undergo to achieve growth and to go beyond what they have already done.
