Talent Strategy: Organisational Culture

Is yours a high-performance culture?

Culture can arguably be defined in as many ways as there are authors and practitioners. But unarguably, decades of research has proven that companies with strong cultures are associated with increased productivity, better employee engagement, and higher profitability.

Workplace Culture and Engagement

Lack of recognition plays a significant role in disengagement, leading to unhappiness and reduced productivity. When employees feel undervalued and disconnected from company goals, turnover rates can soar.

At BasilTree, we help organisations determine the unique parameters that define their culture and are vital to their employees being engaged. These become the basis for curated and customised surveys and other means to assess where the organisation currently is in its culture and engagement journey.

You can imagine then the unmistakably vital relationship between your organisation’s strategy and culture. To make this go beyond words, we need both systems and skills for managers to make the company strategy and culture come alive for the employees.

We apply advanced data science to understand your organisation’s trends in employee engagement and together with benchmark insights, support you in making informed decisions. Knowing that culture is constantly evolving, we put HR systems in place through the entire employee lifecycle, to ensure that culture behaviours are at the core of hiring, assessing performance, developing employees and giving them career choices.
