According to the Society for Human Resource Management, a strong culture is a common denominator amongst the most successful organisations.

Such methods ultimately shape employee perceptions, behaviours and understanding. Leaders of successful organisations live their cultures every day and go out of their way to communicate their cultural identities to employees, as well as prospective new hires (https://www.shrm.org/about-shrm/Pages/default.aspx/Accessed 7 March 2022 (Links to an external site.)).
