API's Culture Care program is an essential assessment for aviation organizations to get a pulse check on your team. Understanding the results and implementing strategies with an aviation-specific actionable coaching can help you benchmark employee engagement. The expert-driven insights will help you improve retention, compare your organization to peers, and help them implement improvements effectively.
The challenge is that many organizations face one or more symptoms affecting their workforce culture:
- New leadership
- Misalignment between staff and leadership
- Significant or rapid growth
- Strategic shifts
- High employee turnover
- Mergers or acquisitions
- Lack of communication and transparency
- Instability due to external factors
A strong organizational culture protects your most valuable assets: your people.
Neglecting culture can lead to significant challenges, such as the loss of key talent, high recruiting costs, extended training and development periods, and hindered collaboration among employees, all of which result in financial losses.
Understanding your organization’s dynamics and the people who drive its success is crucial. That’s why API's Culture Care™ program offers customized insights and diagnoses to help you navigate these challenges. The outcome is a treatment program to promote a positive, healthy and productive work environment. And it’s all formulated by a unique blend of aviation expertise, data science, AI analytics and expert PhD analysis.
What is Culture?
Your organization's culture is the sum of everything you and your colleagues think, say and do as you work together. It’s the heart and soul of the workplace, guiding actions and determining success.
Why Does Culture Matter?
Workforce culture and safety performance are closely connected. Focusing on aviation safety encourages employees to care more about the organizational culture, leading to better safety outcomes and a stronger, more resilient teams.
The most common reason employees leave their jobs is because they are not being challenged at work. The best way to retain employees is by making them feel valued and provide them with growth opportunities.
More than half of workers find that culture is more important than salary when it comes to job satisfaction.
An integral part of workforce culture, and often more appreciated than comp and benefits, is a solid work-life balance program.
Three out of four people consider a company’s culture before applying. To attract top talent, educate candidates about your positive company culture and core values. However, if you have reputational issues, address them before onboarding additional employees.
"Culture is like the wind.
It is invisible, yet its effect can be seen and felt."
