The Problem

Signs of an unhealthy culture

everyone is 'nice' - people feel they don't want to (or can't) raise issues or healthy challenge
water cooler culture - gossip is rife
long hours culture
lack of compassion for others (e.g. quick to judge and assume the worst, no time taken to explore)
no means to influence policies and procedures
staff disagreements are not prioritised
bullying
not feeling safe to speak out
cultural norms encourage group think
frustrated or upset employees leave
employees disengage
unstated political alliances are a way to get ahead
expressed values and observed behaviours are in conflict (especially in leadership figures)
new employees who are recruited because of their difference rapidly comply with the cultural norms and abandon what makes them unique
the organisation doesn't have processes that value the sharing of tensions as a source of learning and creativity
training/coaching is not available for employees
