Workplace culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, behaviors, and practices that characterize an organization and influence how its employees interact and work together. It encompasses the organization’s environment, norms, and the overall atmosphere that can affect employee morale, productivity, and engagement. Workplace culture is shaped by various factors such as leadership styles, communication practices, and interpersonal relationships among employees.
