Work Culture Survey

Our Current Work Atmosphere

How informed and involved do I/we feel in our group’s overall strategy and decision making?

Very Not at all

How do we dress for work?

Formally Casually Mixed

How much spontaneous gathering for fun, breaks, and stress relief do we engage in?

None Some A lot

How much do we get together outside of the office?

None Some A lot

How much privacy and quiet do I/we have?

None Some A lot

What kinds of overall culture do I/we think our group emphasizes? Check as many as apply.

Customer Service (emphasizing creating internal and/or external customer solutions

and getting close to customers by anticipating their needs and creating value for them)

Innovation (emphasizing new ideas, processes and products, taking risks, embracing

change, and so forth)

Operational Excellence (emphasizing efficiency, effectiveness, and smooth operations)

Spirit (emphasizing creating environments that inspire employee excellence and

creativity, uplift people’s spirits, unleash energy and enthusiasm, and strive toward a

greater common goal)

Does our group’s culture have enough “give” in it to accommodate different kinds of

people, or is it a “love it or leave it” affair? (Be honest!)

More specifically, what parts of the culture does someone have to subscribe to in order to fit

in?

Other important things about our culture (values, unspoken rules, etc.):

Ideas for Improving the Culture

Are there any important gaps between what kind of atmosphere you would like to work in

and what kind of atmosphere currently characterizes our group? If so, what are they?

What measures might help improve our work culture and/or help close gaps between what

we want or need and what exists?
