Organizational culture is the shared values, beliefs, and behaviors that shape "how work gets done." HR defines it through core values and norms. To measure it, use engagement surveys, stay interviews, and turnover data. During leadership changes, assess alignment between executive actions and stated company values to ensure consistency.

Organizational culture is the shared values, beliefs, and behaviors shaping how people work. It’s measured through employee surveys, engagement scores, retention rates, performance outcomes, and observation of communication, leadership styles, decision-making patterns, and alignment with company goals and overall climate.
