NEW RESEARCH: UNVEILING THE SPECIFIC METRICS OF CORPORATE CULTURE YIELDING FINANCIAL GROWTH
HCI and PS Culture Matters Research
BROOKLYN, NY – The Human Capital Institute (HCI) and PS Culture Matters will release the results of a groundbreaking report detailing how a performance culture can be created and fostered within organizations. Several hundred organizations participated in an online survey and that data, along with additional secondary research, indicates that culture measurement and leadership are a problem for many organizations. At the same time the research illustrates there are 11 key culture metrics, and goes on to demonstrate which metrics are most strongly correlated with positive financial performance.
These research findings were backed by qualitative interviews conducted with senior practitioners, including Colleen Barrett, President Emeritus of Southwest Airlines, Steven Kowalski, Principal in Executive Talent Development at Genentech, and Joann Russell, Vice President of Organizational Effectiveness & HR Planning at Nike. Colleen Barrett of Southwest Airlines remarked about the challenge to establish a strong corporate culture in today’s environment. “Transparency is key, and it is an ongoing struggle facing performance cultures today. Words have to be backed by action,” she said. “To be successful, a culture must be authentic and embraced by everyone within the organization – i.e., from top to bottom; bottom to top; and sideways.”
With flagship companies such as Apple and Texas Instruments benefitting from high talent retention, increased productivity, and creative, engaged workforces, there is little question about the importance of a healthy corporate culture. In this study, five culture metrics were determined to have the most positive effect on financial growth and performance. By capitalizing on these five crucial metrics, the study finds a 14-17% increase in the likelihood of financial growth and performance in an organization. Clearly, organizations that have established a means of measuring the facets of culture more frequently, taking corrective actions and measuring again, have experienced the most positive results. Not only are employees more engaged and invested, but company financial performance increases.
