Environment and Corporate Culture in SME’s

 

By LearnCorp Training Pty Ltd

 

The culture of a business represents the beliefs system of that firm and how these are manifested in employee behaviours, product designs and stakeholder management including the methods of training and the type of learning environment.

 

The culture of a firm covers several significant areas including:

Team Cohesion, Customer Service Culture, Ethics in Business, Corporate social responsibility

 

This edition’s short note is on Team Cohesion.

 

Team Cohesion

 

Team members can create a synergistic output at work when the team is cohesive. Negative team sentiment, on the other hand, can create productivity declines, challenges and ultimately a loss of value.

 

Team members are varied in their skill sets and capabilities. The role of management is to preserve and enhance the value of each team member through understanding their areas of priority and abilities. The table below identifies several personality types in a common business environment. Good teams work well by using the strengths of each team member.

Action oriented: This type of individual likes to be fully involved and is a visible team member who learns through experience	Dealing with a variety of work Understanding tasks with a short-term payoff Challenging projects
Reflective: This type likes to be able to think about experiences and learns by observing, analysing and reflecting on what has happened	Research, preparation and reading Producing reports Reviewing opportunities
Theoretical: This team member gathers and reviews ideas, concepts and principles and learns by integrating these into a framework for action	Setting objectives and developing systems Teaching others Analysing best practice
Practical: This type of individual likes to test out principles in practice and learns by trial and error	Drawing up action plans Suggesting short cuts Coming up with solutions to problems
