Clan Culture is the Ideal Culture for Innovation & Tech Firms

Culture is a major factor for businesses in today's world. Employees finding a culture that fits with their ideas is just as important as the company finding employees to fill their roles. This is why having a culture where people are comfortable having new and interesting ideas is critical for tech and innovation firms. 

The definition of Clan Culture is "This working environment is a friendly one. The leaders or the executives are seen as mentors. The organization is held together by loyalty and tradition. There is great involvement. The organization promotes teamwork, participation, and consensus." With this description, I believe that tech and innovation firms would thrive.

When you look what Clan Culture promotes, the research shows that they will lead to higher employee satisfaction and employee satisfaction leads to better performance. One study by Moulson shows that "Teamwork has positive effects on job satisfaction.” This was supported by over 200 questionnaires from professionals with over five years of experience in their fields.

There are many different types of ways that Clan Culture can promote workplace satisfaction. The studies shows that when the aspects of Clan Culture are put into place, it shows an enhanced employee satisfaction and that will lead to higher performance.
“The story of innovation has not changed. It has always been a small team of people who have a new idea, typically not understood by people around them and their executives.”
 -Eric Schmidt, Google's Chairman

    Clan culture seems like a smart move for tech firms and other organizations. Do you think most tech firms already have clan culture?

Can Communication Kill?

Welcome to 2019, a time where the newest epidemic is preventable medical errors. Imagine this: you're in the hospital, and your interdisciplinary health care team (IDT) doesn't get along, and they fail to communicate the best treatment options for you. Now what? Even though these communication mishaps are often resolved, sometimes, that's not the case. In 2016,  Johns Hopkins safety experts found that more than 250,000 deaths per year in the U.S. can be traced back to medical errors. In 2013, chronic respiratory disease killed almost 149,000 people, which ranks medical errors as the third leading cause of death behind cancer and cardiovascular disease. The high number of medical error fatalities shouldn't be related to bad health care providers; they should be related to poor coordination of care.  The problem is that it takes more than one person to communicate effectively to coordinate a patient's plan of care. To provide top-quality  medical care, al...

The Secret to a Successful Employee Wellness Program

You’re walking down the hallway toward your office and you see a poster from your company challenging you to make a New Year’s resolution to get in 10,000 steps per day for a fitter you.

Gender Discrimination: Why are we punished for being who we are?

Gender Discrimination in the Classroom & Office  Learning about gender can be traced back to childhood. Parental interaction with their children early on in life influence how that child will display their gender through play, how they parent and what career they decide to go into. Understanding gender communication in the workplace is important to an organization's structure. Gender not only affects communication, but also promotions, leadership opportunities and how we understand each other as individuals. We are socialized to act in a way that our gender defines us and through this gendered lens, we are expected to belong to and associate with a certain organization while upholding special roles within that organization due to our predetermined gender roles. What's the difference between sex and gender?  Sex is based on our biologial sexual reproductive organs at birth.  Gender is something often associated with sex but is actually a learned behavior....
