I need you to answer 3 discussion post questions from my peers and state whether you agree or disagree: 1. My current employer is a police department. Innovation and risk-taking. Management must always approve and fully document all decisions Attention to detail. Employees are expected to work with precision, analysis, and attention to detail 100% of the time Outcome orientation. Results and techniques used to achieve those results are extremely important. People orientation. Productivity is valued over employee morale Team orientation. Work is always organized around teams and discouraged from working alone Aggressiveness. People are both aggressive and competitive as well as supportive Stability. Organizational activities must always maintain the status quo I would describe our organizational culture as strong, as an organization nearly everyone shares similar morals and a desire to maintain community safety. Those employed within the organization tend to maintain employment with the department until they retire. The organizational culture is extremely prevalent. Employees are loyal to the department, at times to a fault and often contrary to their personal beliefs. The dimensions that were most important to me were the level of support provided to fellow employees, the comradery etc. This dimension is necessary when dealing with stressful circumstances daily. I think organizational cultures span generations, however, I also feel that they can change over time as well. As in policing, organizations tend to find what works best for their employees over time, and they stick with it until or unless their standards are challenged. Much like policing has been in the last few years. This spotlight on policing as an industry will no doubt create changes within departments. 2. My current employer is the City of Brantford and the culture is strong. Diversity, innovation, teamwork, and inclusiveness are all encouraged at every department throughout the entire city. The department I am in has a very prevalent organizational culture in that we all work together and think outside the box to come up with innovative ways to complete tasks. An example of this is during our last meeting we discussed the best way to dig for foundations for monuments. The supervisor wanted to be sure the staff had new and safe equipment but was willing to let them make the decision as the weather they wanted a hand auger or an attachment for the loader. At first the hand auger was thought to be the best the choice because it is compact and easy to get in and out of tight areas and around other monuments, but another worker said that the attachment would be best at the other cemetery where the access was easier, and the foundations were much larger. If this meeting had not taken place and staff didnt feel comfortable talking freely then they would be working in such a way that was not efficient or effective. All of the staff in my department openly discuss issues and feel that.
