They plan, monitor and manage the culture, so it remains aligned with what they want to achieve. In a great culture, people contribute to their fullest. Unfortunately, most organizations leverage only about 70% of an individual’s contributions. The remaining 30%--what the company doesn’t get— is the high performance. Creating a high performance culture is a journey that has the potential for many breakdowns along the way. A company’s culture is really defined by what the people of the organization do. WHAT IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE CULTURE WE CAN HELP 5/16/2018 Diana Welch [email protected] 509-833-4770 3 Behaviors and norms that lead an organization to achieve superior results by setting clear business goals, defining employees’ responsibilities, creating a trusting environment, and focusing on employees. Culture drives a high-performance organization and the company achieves better financial and non-financial results. When the behaviors and norms are aligned with goals, customer needs, and employee priorities, the company is poised to achieve financial results and benefits, such as retaining and engaging employees.
