UNIT 7 ASSIGNMENT 1
In Unit 7 we have been looking at group cultures in the workplace and identifying who they are there. As well as what makes you part of what group. In learning this I have learned, every work field and workplace has different work group cultures. The dental field is no different there are a lot just in the office everyday. The term culture means: specific set of social, educational, religious, and professional behaviors, practices, or values that individuals learn and adhere to daily,including communication styles, customs, dress, cultural beliefs, and societal rules (Dimensions,2014). A definition of workplace culture on mediate.com is: “the way of life” in a specific office. Consists of many elements like rules, language, power relationships, and fashion. (Every Work Place Has A Culture, 2014). The people in the office as a whole team can be a group culture being they all work in one place and do things the same way (for the most part), sometimes even wearing the same uniform while having the same work ethics.
Some different workplace group cultures in the office are dental assistants, front office, older employees, young technology employees, as well the hard working workers. Where you belong in the office all depends on things like you as a person, your work ethic, when/how you learned your skills, your attitude, and as well as your job description. Do you work hard? Are you helpful? Are you a older employee that was taught things so different then now day technology?Some of these can determine you’re place in the office as well as your job description. In this assignment we will look at some of these different work cultures and how they are different then each other, but as well as the same in being they work together in one office space to provide the same thing-happy patients.
