Different practices within the organisation, such as training, organisation hiring or recruitment and performance management, impact organisational culture and behaviour in different ways. As the organisation strives to achieve its best, it comes with policies that have to be implemented that affect and influence behaviour and culture within the organisation. Finding the best practice to engage with these practices will form a strong foundation, be desirable in culture formation, and mould good behaviours that create a positive working environment for everyone.
Organisation Hiring or Recruitment Practices
The organisation has to always acquire new employees for talent acquisition and to improve the available skills. The method used for hiring and selecting new employees plays a huge role and highly influences the organisation’s culture and behaviour (Tholen, 2024). The method used for attracting new employees highly influences who will be employed and the team that will be working together. Individuals who join the company need to have certain values and understand the meaning of representing the organisation, and this can be determined during the recruitment or hiring process. Hiring the right individual thus impacts the culture as it ensures that the organisation can run for a long term and always be successful through the people who represent it. On behaviour, employees who understand the mission and vision of the company are more likely to be positive and more productive within the organisation.
On-boarding or training
After hiring the right people for the organisation, the new team should be trained or provided with the most effective onboarding session. How the new employees are introduced and shown how the work is done highly affects their overall performance and expectations within the workplace. Employees need to be shown the spirit of togetherness and teamwork from the start and how to always be productive (Liyanage, 2024). A well-structured on-boarding process can be very impactful and help new staff understand the company values and mission. It also gives the new staff a sense of belonging and an understanding of why they represent the organisation. This impacts the organisation’s culture as they understand their expected behaviours and how they should represent the organisation. It also influences their behaviour as they get to fully understand the company’s expectations and how they should strive to make the organisation successful.
Performance Management
The organisation must manage and track employee performance at all times to reinforce organisational culture. The method used to track and manage performance highly influences the organisation’s culture and behaviour, and thus, there is a need to implement the best strategy for performance management (Akpa et al., 2021, p.371). Practices such as effective feedback and individual and team goal-setting play a massive role in influencing the organisation’s culture. Clear communication, effective feedback and achievement recognition are some of the major things that influence the organisation’s culture positively or negatively. For organisational behaviour, employees must always be motivated and feel appreciated and recognized for what they offer. Finding the best way to achieve this will positively influence the employees’ behaviour and help them reach for the organisation.
