Every company has a culture

CHRO’s prioritization of workplace culture is a positive trend.  They must understand that simply having people in close physical proximity has not, and will not, guarantee a culture that is healthy.  An organization’s culture is both amorphous and fluid, which makes changing it difficult.  No direct levers exist for an executive to pull and automatically improve a culture.  To further complicate the matter for executives, culture manifests where the work is done by mid-level managers and below.  It’s the result of leadership that happens every day.
