Charity leaders have the demanding job of creating a productive, diverse and creative place of work for their staff and volunteers, knowing that culture has a critical role to play on wellbeing, productivity and ultimately your organisation’s impact. This is why having goals, values and a clear vision of what your culture is and needs to be is important to building a thriving organisation. However, fostering good culture is made challenging by change and uncertainty. 

This month’s issue looks at some practical ways to shape culture for the good of your people and your organisation as a whole.
