Culture in Practice

Your organisation’s culture simply refers to the way things are done in and around your company. It includes your organisation’s values and norms that guide people’s behaviour, and is based on shared assumptions, beliefs, attitudes, and customs.

  • KEY PROBLEM(S)

    Your organisational culture does not embrace gender diversity or foster inclusivity.

  • DESIRED OUTCOME(S)

    A culture where embracing, promoting, and leveraging gender diversity is ‘how things are done’.

  • HOW TO MEASURE THIS

    Example measurement indicators and collection methods can be found here.

Why it matters

Your company’s culture is a large component of your diversity and inclusion effectiveness. If your culture does not support your gender diversity initiatives, then retaining diverse talent is going to be challenging. It will also make it difficult to realise the full benefits of any diversity effort, as some people may not be able to have their voices heard or contribute fully.

Reflection

What might be some of the deep-seated beliefs relating to gender that drive negative behaviour within our organisation?

What can make our organisational culture more inclusive of different gender groups?
