Organizational Culture
The board diversity committee is required to review and submit a
proposal to modify the company’s mission, vision and values to
accommodate the diverse nature of employees of all genders since
masculine values have been shown to contribute to the stunting of career
progression of women such as valuing long hours, and internal networking
(Sharma, 2016). The diversity office shall also conduct surveys to probe
the existing staff of their preferred values since involvement of
employees in focus groups, surveys and other participatory activities
can help achieve diversity (Sharma, 2016). This effect can trickle down
to the rest of the organization according to Schein’s culture model
(Schein, 2009). Moreover, leadership culture that adopts a paternalistic
approach should be modified in favor of a more structured (somewhat
transactional) approach (Sharma, 2016).
