Culture Should Be Redefined, Not Redesigned in Remote Workplaces

Thursday, October 22, 2020

The transition to mostly or all-remote work disrupted most organizations, and understandably so. The decision was made quickly with little to no training or preparation in place, but one thing that shouldn’t suffer during this transitional period is the overall workplace culture. While organizational norms can differ depending on work environments, a well-functioning culture should be consistent across all modes of work. This means that the deeper belief structures that are built into the foundation of an organization should not be shaken based on where and how employees are performing work. While culture may be redefined, it doesn’t need to be redesigned. Reflect on how the organization's purpose, brand, and culture have responded to the new environment and define the behaviors that encapsulate the organization’s core values to ensure they are represented in the overall employee experience, be that virtual, hybrid, or in-person. While certain aspects might need to change, it’s important to know that culture can remain constant despite external factors.
