Have you ever noticed how one “bad apple” can change a workplace? Or perhaps you have worked with someone who seems to annoy the rest of the team. That’s poor cultural fit and it’s the beginning of a deep, dark time guzzler for any manager trying to maintain team productivity.
In fact, nearly 25% of employers reported that poor cultural fit of one employee had led to:
- Other team members becoming less effective in their roles
- Disharmony between team members
- An overall drop in performance across the team
These factors all lead to managers spending more time on “managing” the problem rather than managing the business.
Staff and Managers Have A Different Perspective
There is also growing evidence that suggests employers view organisational culture very differently to their staff. In fact, one survey reported:
- 54% of employees reported they had been misled about an organisation’s culture
- 74% of employees said the organisation’s culture didn’t match the employer’s promises
- 64% of employees reported they had left an organisation because its values didn’t correspond with their own
How Do You Spend Your Workday?
Managing staff problems shouldn’t take up the bulk of your day. There is other, equally important work you should be doing. But if this is your workday reality, there is something wrong and it needs to be fixed.
