Healthy Organizational Culture

A healthy organization culture has a balance of working out physical wellbeing, integrity, communication and organization performance. For instance, fictional organization A, which has common workplace traits, encourages employee development and teamwork. Managers acknowledge employees' work and encourage professional development. They also enable work staff to voice concerns without fear of retribution. These practices help to foster trust, deepen engagement, and promote ethical decision-making (Schwartz, 2013). Having clear priorities in the organization can also help employees understand the role their work plays in larger organization objectives (Lencioni, 2024).

Unhealthy Organizational Culture

Another fictionalized health care organization, Organization B, focuses on productivity and neglects to attend to the concerns of the employee. Work loads are regularly overstated for the staff and resources. This practice can lead to stress, reduce morale and lead to employee turnover. The organization also has poor communication because employees have few opportunities to discuss workplace problems with managers. If employees' need is not addressed, they may feel uninvolved, and issues can persist with no resolution.

Improving Unhealthy Practices

Changes could be made within Organization B by assessing their work load and adjusting staffing accordingly. It would also be beneficial to set realistic goals for performance and give employees the proper resources needed. Meetings could also serve as a platform to bring forth suggestions and any problems that the employees might want to express. The leaders will have to pay attention to these issues with dignity and consistency. All of this may contribute to higher levels of trust and engagement and the removal of unnecessary stress in the workplace. As Goldman (2018) point out, organizational health can lead to better organizational performance showing that employee well-being and organizational results do not have to be competing priorities.

What Is Healthy Organization?

How would you define a “healthy organization”? Many individuals would consider a healthy organization to be one that earns the most profits or maintains long-term stability, but additional factors should be considered. If those outcomes were achieved through dishonorable practices or an overloaded and underpaid workforce, then it is likely most people would reassess how “healthy” that organization was. Using the following resources, you will explore what it means to have a healthy organization.

Attributes of a Successful, Resilient Organization

How do you define a successful, resilient organization? More importantly, what can be done to create or sustain one? There are numerous variables to consider when answering these questions, and the answer may not always be clear. It is unlikely that there is a single approach that will solve every inevitable issue that organizations will face. While one approach may not solve every problem, combining multiple, time-tested business practices can improve the likelihood of success. Using these resources, you will explore what factors are important for a successful and resilient organization.
