Healthy Organizational Practices
When it comes to deciding whether to work for or interact with an organization, many individuals are influenced by the organization’s culture. For example, a company might pay well, operate in a competitive field, and offer great benefits, but a toxic culture might cause employees and managers to leave at higher rates than normal. On the other hand, an organization might handle extremely difficult or dangerous work but is comprised of employees who are loyal because they care for and appreciate the work culture. In this Discussion, you will explore examples of healthy and unhealthy cultures in organizations and consider the practices that contribute to the health of those organizations.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· From personal experience or public reputation, consider examples of organizations with healthy or unhealthy corporate cultures. Identify examples of business practices that are reflective of organizational health (and those that are not). You may use examples from your own experience or examples you have located through your own search.
Post your synthesis of business practices reflective of organizational health, to include the following:
· Identify at least one example of a healthy organizational culture and at least one example of an unhealthy organizational culture. For example, briefly describe the organization, being sure to avoid using real names of either the company or any individuals in your description.
· For the health culture you described, identify at least two specific practices that contribute to the overall health of the organization, including a rationale to support your assertion.
· For the unhealthy culture you described, identify the specific practices that detract from the overall health of the organization, including a rationale to support your assertion.
· For each unhealthy practice identified, propose how it could be refocused or changed to yield more positive outcomes for the organization’s overall health.
