2. Why I choose
organizational culture?
■ An organizations culture can impact every aspect of
how the organization functions.
■ Culture creates an environment that directs
employee’s mental health, job satisfaction and or
productivity levels.
■ Previous work-related experiences where the
cultures weren’t adaptable and or flexible caused
me to feel curious as to what makes a work culture
healthy.
