For those of us in compliance, corporate culture probably ranks as one of the least quantifiable business attributes to measure. However, the 2019 MIT Sloan Management Review/Glassdoor Culture 500 report, “Measuring Culture in Leading Companies,” described research by several financial economists who consistently found a correlation between positive corporate culture on the one hand and increased profitability and shareholder value on the other.
Culture is a reflection of how a company thinks about itself, how it wishes to be regarded in the marketplace, and how it characteristically tackles business challenges, so thinking about culture can help an organization establish a framework for achieving its business objectives. As a set of shared norms and core values, culture can also provide a useful point of reference for employees when they face difficult decisions about priorities and when they execute those decisions. Effective compliance begins with adherence to these values.
