In the workplace there are many different aspects of the organization. Some of the aspects of an organization are dress and language, how communication flows, conflict management and organizational policies. This paper will discuss these aspects of the company I work for and define what the different cultures are. These examples contribute to the overall functionality of an organization. Every organization has these aspects within their organization in order to function properly. Communication at my workplace flows from the maintenance manager to department supervisors, and supervisors to employees. This can be done several ways: verbal, email, and conference calls. We usually conduct safety meeting, in which employees and management get together to discuss safety topics. There are memos that get put out to inform all levels of personnel of any changes to policy or new hires coming to the company. There is upward communication that takes place, which is communication from employees to supervisors. The other form of communication that takes place us downward communication, which upper management sends communication down to people in the organization about mission and policies. When something is going to impact the employee more is when it is sent from one of the directors. The most effective form of communication at my company is upward communication. Organizational policies are the basic rules of the company. When employees go through company orientation, they are given an employee handbook that states what the company’s corporate culture is and the policies of the company. Within those policies are the standards that the company operates to fulfill the company’s mission statement. Some examples can be described as sick time, drug and alcohol, sexual harassment, etc. What the company finds the most important to document, so that everyone is clear of the rules and
