As a key driver to bottom-line business success, organizational culture is a critical element to your total rewards strategy. Before you decide which total rewards programs are right for your employees, you first should create the right culture. This poses a major challenge for employers. But the reward for developing a vibrant culture especially a culture that your employees embrace can pay huge dividends. This book serves as a template for assessing and managing an organizational culture. Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the subject. But the tools provided in the book make it easy to understand not only what defines culture and how it works, but also ways you can influence it and make it work to your company's advantage. Action and Discussion Points are sprinkled liberally throughout the text, making the book both reader-friendly and accessible. Other quick, value-added takeaways, such as helpful hints, checklists and resources, make this a publication well worth owning and adding to your human resources library.
