It involves the environment in which employees work, the way they interact with one another, and the overall <a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/discover-more\/blog\/physical-workspace-backbone-corporate-culture\/\">atmosphere of the workplace<\/a>. The reason it\u2019s so important is because company culture can influence everything from employee satisfaction and retention to productivity and performance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Early definitions from the 1980s to the 1990s focused on organizational values and norms, and companies limited it to the values and norms that guided behavior within an organization. They saw it as a set of unwritten, set-in-stone rules and expectations that employees were expected to follow. By the mid-2000s to early 2010s, though, the definition had expanded to include the physical and social environment of the workplace, with a greater emphasis on the role of the work environment in shaping employee behavior and satisfaction.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The current approach is to see company culture as a holistic concept that includes not only values and practices but also the physical workspace, technology, and the broader social and economic context. Organizations approach company culture as something dynamic and evolving, which means they understand that they can actively shape and manage it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">But it\u2019s not company culture.

Strong leaders take time to understand their teams, key stakeholders, and others, and where they\u2019re coming from.
