In the workplace culture there are values that are specific to the brand, institution or company, some of which are assumed and promoted: they can be found on the company's website or in the welcome booklet when you are a new employee.  But there are also codes, protocols and expectations induced in the work.On the employer's side, his recruitment will also focus on aligning certain foundations of the workplace culture with the values of the candidate who is applying. In Canada this is clearly indicated in the advertisements, in France where I have lived it has been assumed for several years.

cultural misanderstandings still so common because even if we are educated, trained, we still human and our thoughts are subjective.
We still have beliefs and judgements based on our knowledge, fears or what we think we know.
Sometimes we idealise or demonise employees by one's behaviour, words or temperament.
Misunderstandings are aggravated when we do not question ourselves and  do not open communication to check our perception in a direct or subtle way.

Culture is the marriage of History, with the question of social and political values carried by waves of civilisations, and dependent on forces that sometimes oppose each other and are also juxtaposed (economy, subcultures).
If I had to define culturein general, I would say that it helps people to identify themselves as individuals belonging to a group, it helps to recognise others by putting labels on them.

Thanks for sharing the videos. Yes, corporate culture is very important for employee happiness and satisfaction. As I pointed out during the class, in the age of social media, it's easy to research corporate culture. Many companies will now share what they do to make their workplaces more employee friendly and how they organize charitable activities so they are good 'corporate partners.' An example of this would be the CIBC, which does the Run for the Cure every October to raise money for breast cancer research. Do you know other examples of how companies can be 'good corporate partners'?

I agree, Asmae. As the graphic shows, the majority of cultural is hidden or below the surface. No wonder it's so difficult to learn a new culture and language for newcomers to Canada. Thanks for sharing!
