HIGH PERFORMANCE CULTURE

Culture of the organisation represents the prevailing roles , relationships, beliefs, norms, values, attitudes, skills, etc. pertaining to work. Developing a high performance culture, therefore, essentially implies managing change, more specifically, developing beliefs, norms, values, attitudes and behaviours that are consistent with the new reality. A high performance culture in an organisation may be brought through an interaction of the characteristics of the organisation with those of individuals and groups within the organisation. The organisational and managerial practices such as team work, trust , leadership, communication, rewards and cooperation/partnerships among the various groups within the organisation would go a long way in developing positive attitudes and commitment which in turn , are likely to exert positive influence on performance and productivity.
