Compare and contrast 3 best practices to the cultures making specific recommendations to improve employee engagement and alignment
Organizational culture is the character or personality of the organization; it is the shared values and beliefs that are the social glue that holds the organization together and creates behavioral norms. Culture has been compared to an iceberg because only 15 – 20 percent of it is visible in the form of artifacts such as office décor and layout, dress code, rituals and ceremonies. Understanding an organizational culture requires looking below the surface at norms, values, beliefs and assumptions people have to explain and justify their behavior and actions.
Peter Drucker is credited with saying “organizational culture eats strategy for lunch”. Because culture is important in attracting, motivating and retaining talent, and a strong predictor of organizational excellence, effective leaders emphasize building a strong culture that promotes employee engagement and is aligned with the organization’s vision, mission and strategy.
Building Strong Organizational Cultures Presentation Guidelines
Working in teams of 3 – 4, prepare a PowerPoint, Prezi or PowToon presentation that identifies 3 best practices to build a strong organizational culture that promotes employee engagement; describes, compares and contrasts the cultures of two different organizations, and makes recommendation to enhance those cultures.

● Identify and discuss three (3) best practices from scholarly sources to build a strong organizational culture that promotes employee engagement.
● Describe the organizational culture of two organizations identifying visible artifacts as well as underlying norms, values, and/or beliefs; include one or more symbols such as a myth, hero or stories that exemplify the culture.
● Assess the impact of each organization’s culture on the performance and productivity of individuals and groups, and determine if the culture encourages or hinders organizational excellence.
● Compare and contrast 3 best practices to the cultures making specific recommendations to improve employee engagement and alignment
● Discuss 3 – 4 insights gained into organizational culture, the leader’s role in building strong cultures that promotes employee engagement, and/or the impact of culture on organizational excellence.

Explain how the APA Ethical Code of Conduct can be used to guide decisions in these complex situations.
“The collaborative practice of clinicians across disciplines requires a shared language, appreciation of diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms, and recognition of appropriate roles within the health care team. This collaborative environment is at the heart of a health care system that utilizes the skills and expertise of all its team members in appropriate and extended roles. This model of care delivery is often called integrated care (IC) or collaborative care (CC). Although this model is endorsed by many professional societies and agencies, the CC/IC care delivery model can fail due to multiple factors. In your initial post, consider the clinical partnerships that result within the CC/IC delivery model. Integrating concepts developed from different content domains in psychology, address the following questions. •How might health care teams achieve therapeutic goals for individual clients? •How does this support health literacy? •What factors might lead to the failure of the CC/IC delivery model? •How might lack of acceptance of the value or viability of the CC/IC model by stakeholders, lack of awareness of the clinical competencies of various members of the team, barriers to financial reimbursement for services, and lack of integration of support services within the practice cause a breakdown in efficacy? •What supportive interventions within the CC/IC model address such issues? In addition, consider how successful health care models assume an understanding of each profession’s competencies and responsibilities. For example, primary care providers (PCPs) are sometimes unaware of the abilities and practice scope of psychology professionals. •Identify methods of targeted intervention and education for PCPs that might alleviate potential issues for the CC/IC model. •Explain how the APA Ethical Code of Conduct can be used to guide decisions in these complex situations. •Evaluate and comment on the potential work settings where you might find the CC/IC model. In what ways might this model provide more job satisfaction?

The diversity movement suggests that there is strength in our differences and that our differences enhance each other.
