Supportive Organizational Culture
A supportive organizational culture provides the social and psychological conditions that optimize employee health, safety, and well-being. This can involve supporting employees’ growth and development and intentionally building positive relationships between people, their work, and their organization.
When an organization has a supportive culture employees are more likely to be engaged, empowered and perform at their natural best which will enhance service delivery, product quality and overall organizational performance.
